hi all.
I've been trying for a while to compile vte from source in fedora, in
order to test accessibility issues fixed in the following bug:
https://bugzilla.gnome.org/show_bug.cgi?id=746488. However, when I try
to run ./configure, i get the following errors, which I can't seem to
get around. Checking for pkg-config... /usr/bin/pkg-config
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0... yes
checking for VTE... no
configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.40.0 gobject-2.0
pango >= 1.22.0 gtk+-3.0 >= 3.8.0 gobject-2.0 gio-2.0 gio-unix-2.0
zlib gnutls >= 3.2.0) were not met:
No package 'gnutls' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables VTE_CFLAGS
and VTE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.
I've run the following to try to resolve. Yum-builddep vte3, it
returns that I have all necessary packages installed. Looking at this
it looks like it can't find gnutls. I've checked yum info gnutls, and
my version is newer than 3.2. I've also done a yum reinstall gnutls
just to make sure something wasn't messed up somewhere, to no avail.
I've seen one other package claim it can't find gnutls, and that is
tintin, the mud client. Anyone have any ideas? I eventually want to
build an rpm of vte 0.39.92, but that won't work if I can't build from
source. Sorry for the newbie questions, but I'm new to fedora, having
just switched two weeks ago. Also, if I'm not supposed to paste in
emails and use fpaste instead, please let me know and I'll use that
from now on. I'm not trying to flood the list
pkg-config almost always requires a "-devel" package, so in your case
that'd
be gnutls-devel. this link may help:

on the fpaste vs email: generall add it to the email. any pastebin requires
an extra click and randomly expires. email is archived which means someone
searching for a solution to the same problem can figure it out themselves
rather than getting 404s on the pastebin.
Unless it's a huge amount of data (which is often better to file a bug for
anyway), always use email, not fpaste.
Cheers,
