Description John Swensen 2008-05-13 06:08:19 UTC 
I am currently bundling the VTE library as part of an Apple .app bundle. The problem lies in the fact that I can't seem to get VTE to point to <Path of .app file>/Contents/Resources/share/vte/termcap and OSX does not by default have a termcap file in /etc/termcap.  The functions in the library used to set the termcap are static to vte.c.  Would it be possible to make a publicly available version of this function?

I don't think it makes sense to add any public way to do that. Instead you should change vte code in vte_terminal_set_termcap to look in the right place, using an analogue of g_win32_get_package_installation_directory_of_module().

This will be obsoleted by switching to terminfo.
