make is giving me the following error while trying to install vte-eg

./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

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 libpcre2-8 >= 10.21 gnutls >= 3.2.7) were not met:

No package 'libpcre2-8' 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 use zsh as my default shell .

Edit:

I'm using ubuntu 16.10

  • So what does pkg-config --modversion libpcre2-8 say? Feb 9, 2017 at 15:43
  • It returns the number " 10.22 "

  • Well in that case it would appear to be a problem with the packaging of the vte-eg source, since the version found clearly should satisfy the stated requirement (libpcre2-8 >= 10.21) Feb 9, 2017 at 15:50
