check this fix from issue #408
https://github.com/joshslark/finalterm/commit/04697ea8632feb691238000c856f89f60cc0a612

I had the same issue, must have been an update in vala's source dropping the use of out x, out y in that manner. I cant say for sure. What I can say is I was able to successfully build doing the following as stated in the above links.

simply vim src/TerminalView.vala and change line 229 to this:

text_menu.menu.popup(null, null, (menu, ref x, ref y, out push_in) => {

instead of this:

 text_menu.menu.popup(null, null, (menu, out x, out y, out push_in) => {

just change the out x, out y, not the out push_in, to ref x, ref y, out push_in

Worked like a charm thanks for everything ! Have a good day sir !

[Update] Now after instaling it gives me

~ $ : finalterm

(finalterm:756): GLib-GObject-WARNING **: value "0" of type 'gint' is invalid or out of range for property 'window-scaling-factor' of type 'gint'

I got that too. Which I reported as issue #410
I was assisted to fix it temporarily by using

export CLUTTER_BACKEND=x11
finalterm

but that doesnt fix the root issue so expect instability.
still early in development,
and Gnome 3.16 changed all kinds of things, which in turn broke this sadly.
