After changing CONFIG to MODULE so that the previous error of not having the master config file for KF5 is sidestepped, one finds that the cmake file wants the KF5PTY package, which does not appear to exist yet for kde-windows. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. try to emerge konsole Actual Results: failure message about missing KF5PTY cmake files Expected Results: konsole compiles, or at least attempts to, (gets beyond dependency checks) Might simply be that PTY isn't ready yet, but figured it couldn't hurt to submit this in a separate bug report, since it is technically a different issue.
Forgot to add the step to reproduce: 0. Fix the cmake file by changing CONFIG to MODULE in the KF5 frameworks find_package call
Windows doesn't even have TTYs, so I don't see how the PTY framework could ever work.
Maybe it could implement the methods but just redirect the functionality in a way that works for windows commandline stuff? Either that or remove the calls to it from the ported konsole and replace them with something that makes sense?
Konsole is just not yet ported. And you won't get it to work that way.
@Michael Gooch: Windows Terminals and Linux ones are apparently very different. The author of Putty offers an explanation at http://www.chiark.greenend.org.uk/~sgtatham/putty/wishlist/win-command-prompt.html .
