README

This is the MATE terminal emulator application.  mate-terminal is
only the shell (menubar, prefs dialog); the terminal emulation ("stuff
in the middle") comes from the VTE widget. Remember this when you
report a bug. ;-)

MATE terminal is a fork of GNOME terminal.

How it works
===

Profiles -
  all settings are stored in profiles. prefs dialog edits the current
  profile

Session -
  just the number of open windows/tabs and their profile is stored
  per-session

Command line options -
  do not overlap things that are preferences


== Install ==

In order to build this program from the source code you need git installed and
 a working MATE environment, with the development tools installed
properly.

Example:
git submodule init
git submodule update --remote --recursive
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc \
    --disable-static --localstatedir=/var --with-gnu-ld
make
sudo make install
