QTermWidget

Overview

A terminal emulator widget for Qt 5.

The only runtime dependency is qtbase ≥ 5.7.1. In order to build CMake ≥ 3.0.2 and lxqt-build-tools >= 0.4.0 are needed as well as Git to pull translations and optionally 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 make install which accepts variable DESTDIR as usual.
