Installation of qtermwidget

Install qtermwidget by running the following commands: 

mkdir -v build &&
cd       build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release  \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \
      -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib  \
      -DBUILD_DESIGNER_PLUGIN=0   \
      -DUSE_QT5=true              \
      ..       &&

make

The choice of /usr for prefix is due to the general characteristics of this program, which can be used without LXQt.

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

-DBUILD_DESIGNER_PLUGIN=0: This switch is necessary, because building the Qt designer plugin is not supported for Qt5 yet.
