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.

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.
The library is provided by all major Linux distributions like Arch Linux, Debian, Fedora and openSUSE.
