Error while install vte-eg 'No package 'libpcre2-8' found'?

Question

make is giving me the following error while trying to install vte-eg

./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

configure: error: Package requirements (glib-2.0 >= 2.40.0 gobject-2.0 pango >= 1.22.0 gtk+-3.0 >= 3.8.0 gobject-2.0 gio-2.0 gio-unix-2.0 zlib libpcre2-8 >= 10.21 gnutls >= 3.2.7) were not met:
No package 'libpcre2-8' found
Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables VTE_CFLAGS
and VTE_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I use zsh as my default shell .

Edit:

I'm using ubuntu 16.10

What Ubuntu version are you using? did you install the libpcre2-dev package? — steeldriver, Feb 09 '17 at 13:36
Well in that case it would appear to be a problem with the packaging of the vte-eg source, since the version found clearly should satisfy the stated requirement (libpcre2-8 >= 10.21) — steeldriver, Feb 09 '17 at 15:50

Can you clarify that it was the same problem? – Zanna Jan 04 '18 at 15:02
