Terminal: vte not found

[rudloff@…]

It seems Terminal does not found vte:

checking for vte >= 0.17.1... not found
*** The required package vte was not found on your system.
*** Please install vte (atleast version 0.17.1) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.
Command failed:  cd "/Users/prudloff/opt/var/macports/build/_Users_prudloff_opt_var_macports_sources_rsync.macports.org_release_tarballs_ports_xfce_Terminal/Terminal/work/Terminal-0.4.5" && ./configure --prefix=/Users/prudloff/opt --enable-dbus 

But it is installed:

The following ports are currently installed:
  vte @0.36.2_0 (active)

In the future, please Cc the port maintainers (port info --maintainers Terminal).

This is because the vte port was updated from the gnome2 version to the gnome3 version, and the Terminal port still needs the gnome2 version. I had to add a vte-gnome2 port to my local Portfile repo and then make my local copy of the Terminal Portfile depend on it to fix it... Then again, a better solution for trunk would probably be to update all of the xfce ports: see #41861 and #31203 for reference.

(edit: while searching for those, I discovered that this was a duplicate of #41379...)

New port vte-gtk2-compat, based on vte 0.28.2, committed in r122208. This port installs in parallel with the current gtk3 compatible version of vte and satisfies the vte requirements of this port.

See #41861 for current activity relative to the Terminal port. Closing this ticket as a duplicate. Have added you as CC there.
