Installation of qterminal

Install qterminal by running the following commands: 

mkdir -v build &&
cd       build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$LXQT_PREFIX \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release          \
      -DPULL_TRANSLATIONS=no              \
      ..       &&

LIBRARY_PATH=$LXQT_PREFIX/lib make

If you have Doxygen-1.8.13 installed, and wish to create the API documentation, issue: 

doxygen ../Doxyfile

The html API documentation has been generated with the previous command. Now, if you also have texlive-20170524 (or install-tl-unx) installed, and wish to create the pdf API reference manual, issue: 

make -C docs/latex

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

To install the html API documentation, if you opted to generate it, issue, as the root user: 

install -v -m755 -d /usr/share/doc/qterminal-0.7.1/{html,pdf} &&
cp -vr docs/html/* /usr/share/doc/qterminal-0.7.1/html

The pdf API reference manual can be installed with, as the root user: 

install -v -m644    docs/latex/refman.pdf \
                    /usr/share/doc/qterminal-0.7.1/pdf

If you installed in /opt, again as the root user: 

if [ "$LXQT_PREFIX" != /usr ]; then
  ln -svf $LXQT_PREFIX/share/applications/qterminal.desktop \
          /usr/share/applications
  ln -svf $LXQT_PREFIX/share/applications/qterminal_drop.desktop \
          /usr/share/applications
fi

Command Explanations

LIBRARY_PATH=$LXQT_PREFIX/lib: This environment variable is needed for the linker to find a required library.

-DPULL_TRANSLATIONS=no: Removes the need for git-2.14.1, which would otherwise be requested to download the translation files.
