QTermWidget

Overview

A terminal emulator widget for Qt 5.

QTermWidget is an open-source project originally based on the KDE4 Konsole application, but it took its own direction later on. The main goal of this project is to provide a unicode-enabled, embeddable Qt widget for using as a built-in console (or terminal emulation widget).

It is compatible with BSD, Linux and OS X.

Installation

Compiling sources

The only runtime dependency is qtbase ≥ 5.12.0. Build dependencies are as follows:

CMake ≥ 3.1.0 serves as the build system and therefore needs to be present to compile.
The latest lxqt-build-tools is also needed for compilation.
Git is needed to optionally pull latest VCS checkouts.

Code configuration is handled by CMake. CMake variable CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX will normally have to be set to /usr, depending on the way library paths are dealt with on 64bit systems. Variables like CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR may have to be set as well.

To build, run make. To install, run make install which accepts variable DESTDIR as usual.

To build PyQt bindings, specify an additional CMake option QTERMWIDGET_BUILD_PYTHON_BINDING=ON when building this library.

Binary packages

The library is provided by all major Linux distributions. This includes Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora, openSUSE and all of their children, given they use the same package repositories. Just use the distributions' package managers to search for string qtermwidget.

Translation

Translations can be done in LXQt-Weblate
