I’ve been trying to check out the latest GNOME before it’s released by using GARNOME but have been plauged by compile errors. Well, “plauged” is probably a bad term… I got “a” compile error and didn’t see an obvious way to fix it, so I gave up. The same error has prevented me from trying the latest two releases of garnome though, so this time I trolled around a bit looking for a solution. Turns out if you’re getting VTE compile errors on gentoo you can follow this advice from Richard Ferguson on how to fix it and let the compile finish away.
