[Qemu-devel] [Bug 1794939] [NEW] QEMU does not build with vte v2.91

[Bastian Koppelmann]

Public bug reported:

when I build qemu with vte support and vte-2.91 installed I get the
following deprecation warning:

error: ‘vte_terminal_set_encoding’ is deprecated 
[-Werror=deprecated-declarations]
     vte_terminal_set_encoding(VTE_TERMINAL(vc->vte.terminal), "UTF-8", NULL);
     ^~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
In file included from /usr/include/vte-2.91/vte/vte.h:35

I looked for the commit in vte that deprecated the offending function
(a17e714d), which led me to the thread:

https://gitlab.gnome.org/GNOME/vte/issues/3

It looks like from this version forward vte forces us to use utf-8, such
that this function call becomes unnecessary in QEMU.

Cheers,
Bastian
