Installation of qtermwidget

If you have Qt4 and Qt5 installed, run source setqt4 or source setqt5, respectively, in order to link qtermwidget to the one of your choice. Following instructions are for Qt5 linking. For compilation with Qt4, see “Command Explanations”, below. Install qtermwidget by running the following commands:

mkdir -v build &&
cd       build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib  \
      -DBUILD_DESIGNER_PLUGIN=0   \
      -DUSE_QT5=true              \
      ..       &&

make

The choice of /usr for prefix is due to the general characteristics of this program, which can be used without LXQt.

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user:

make install

Command Explanations

-DBUILD_DESIGNER_PLUGIN=0: This switch is necessary, because building the Qt designer plugin is not supported for Qt5 yet. Toggle to 1 or remove, if you prefer to use Qt4.

-DUSE_QT5=true: This switch is used in order to build this application linked to Qt5. Toggle to “false”, if you prefer to use Qt4.
