VALA_CHECK_PACKAGES: syntax error near unexpected token `glib-2.0'
Hello. I tried ask this question first on https:/
https:/
because I believed it was a bug in in the automake setup for gnome-terminal.
Still, they meant it was not a bug but a missing dev package, and I was asked to use my distribution's support forums. So it would be great if someone could help me with this issue:
I am trying to compile gnome-terminal on Ubuntu 17.04. I downloaded the source from:
https:/
then I installed the latest version of VTE (from GitHub) and gsettings-
After installing some additional missing packages,
I tried to configure gnome-terminal:
$ PKG_CONFIG_
[...]
checking for TERM... yes
checking whether gterminal is requested... yes
./configure: line 14009: syntax error near unexpected token `glib-2.0'
./configure: line 14009: ` VALA_CHECK_
I have installed Ubuntu package "libglib2.0-dev" so I am not sure what is happening here.

NOTE: when configuring VTE I got the following error from "autogen.sh"
configure: error: Vala requested but M4 macros not installed. Try --disable-vala
So I reran autogen.sh with the "--disable-vala" option, and it then succeeded with the following summary:
[...]
Configuration for libvte 0.49.2 for gtk+-3.0
GNUTLS: yes
Installing Glade catalogue: no
Debugging: no
Introspection: yes
Vala bindings: no
Test application: no
