# 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 ≥ 5.6.
In order to build CMake ≥ 3.0.2 and [lxqt-build-tools](https://github.com/lxqt/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.

### Binary packages

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