QTermWidget

Project page Download page

QTermWidget is an opensource project based on KDE4 Konsole application. The main goal of this project is to provide unicode-enabled, embeddable QT4 widget for using as a built-in console (or terminal emulation widget).

Of course I`m aware about embedding abilities of original Konsole, but once I had Qt without KDE, and it was a serious problem. I decided not to rely on a chance. I could not find any interesting related project, so I had to write it.

The original Konsole`s code was rewritten entirely with QT4 only; also I have to include in the project some parts of code from kde core library. All code dealing with user interface parts and session management was removed (maybe later I bring it back somehow), and the result is quite useful, I suppose.

This library was compiled and tested on three linux systems, based on 2.4.32, 2.6.20, 2.6.23 kernels, x86 and amd64. Ther is also a sample application provided for quick start.

The best way to get the code is to use CVS via the command:
cvs -z3 -d:pserver:anonymous@qtermwidget.cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/qtermwidget co -P qtermwidget
