Installation of GNOME Terminal

Install GNOME Terminal by running the following commands: 

./configure --prefix=/usr             \
            --disable-static          \
            --disable-migration       \
            --with-nautilus-extension &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

--with-nautilus-extension: This switch enables building of the Nautilus extension. Remove it if you don't have Nautilus installed.

--disable-migration: This switch disables building of the GNOME Terminal GConf migration tool which is not necessary for BLFS.

--libexecdir=/usr/lib/gnome-terminal: This option creates a gnome-terminal directory in /usr/lib instead of putting the private gnome-terminal-server program into /usr/libexec in accordance with the old version of the FHS used before LFS-7.5.

--disable-static: This switch prevents installation of static versions of the libraries.
