Description looije 2006-07-07 21:42:35 UTC

Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.5.2)
Installed from:    Ubuntu Packages
OS:                Linux

I noticed that Kdevelop craches using this option:
project->project options->debugger->enable separate terminal for application io
I did not have konsole installed. Installing "konsole" fixed the problem, but I would prefer an error message instead of a kdevelop crash in case konsole is not there:)

Anybody knows how to add konsole to the autotolls dependencies ?

Comment 2 Jens Dagerbo 2006-12-16 21:51:40 UTC

The problem isn't directly tied to the 'konsole' application. Any terminal application set in the configuration that doesn't actually exist will lead to the debugger plugin hanging KDevelop.

It should verify that the terminal app actually exists before attempting to use it.

Don't hang if the user has configured a non-existing terminal app
