You need libvte-dev and gettext(optional) to build LilyTerm.
The following command is a good example for compiling LilyTerm under Linux:
./configure --prefix=/usr --sysconfdir=/etc/xdg
make
make install
Using GTK+ 3.x + libvte 2.9 to build LilyTerm is NOT recommended, LilyTerm is for GTK+2 only currently.
LilyTerm also supports autotools. You may use it to build LilyTerm if you have trouble whith the build-in building scripts. You need libvte-dev, autoconf, automake, gettext, libxml-parser-perl and intltool to build LilyTerm with autotools, and execute ./autogen.sh to create a suitable configure file.
