Description Andrius 2009-01-27 12:04:47 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE 4.2.0)
OS:                MS Windows
Installed from:    MS Windows

This is a wish referring to the topic "where is konsole in kde-windows ?" in konsole and kde-windows mailing lists. AFAIK, mswindows does not have a pty equivalent, it maybe can be circumvented in some ways [1], I sincerely don't know what does msys's rxvt uses to emulate pty but it seems it does not use nothing related to cygwin nor X11 ( actually it uses libW11, I'm not sure if KDE could use it ). I'm lay about that but I believe pdcurses could be also useful. Also maybe initially it could be an interface to mswindows native shell.

Comment 2 Andrius 2009-02-20 17:42:28 UTC 
according to these links:
http://lists.kde.org/?l=konsole-devel&m=123429088509347&w=2 http://lists.kde.org/?t=123353687000001&r=1&w=2

It seems that konsole has started being ported, so I think this bug can be closed ( or should we wait the first official binaries? ).

Andrius, why close the bug when it hasn't been fixed?  Great to know progress is being made, though.

There's a winport branch in the git konsole repo.  I don't have anything to do w/ it.

Windows is getting a pty feature see this blog post:

This could be used to port Konsole to windows.   I would love to see that.
