  1. Compile error of app.vala (during make inside the termite directory): "struct Test.App.Options cannot be empty"
    There is a fix documented in GNOME/vte project to add a dummy param inside "public struct Options"
    GNOME/vte@53690d5

  2. There is also a runtime error: the default config file isn't installed. App configs are stored in a tree under ~/config
    Fix: Create directory, and copy the default config from the installation directory
    mkdir ~/.config/termite
    cp ~/termite/config ~/.config/termite/
