-> install build dependencies:
$ tce-load -wi gtk3-dev vte-dev automake autoconf libtool-dev intltool compiletc
 
-> download http://tinycorelinux.net/9.x/x86_64/tcz/glib2-dev.tcz, unpack it and copy its *.la files into /usr/local/lib

-> per TC wiki, for maximum compatibility:
$ export CFLAGS="-mtune=generic -Os -pipe"
$ export CXXFLAGS="-mtune=generic -Os -pipe"
$ export LDFLAGS="-Wl,-O1"

-> finally:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local
$ make
$ mkdir /opt/dest; sudo make DESTDIR=/opt/dest install
