If you want to use tkPacman with Konsole as virtual terminal, you will have to change the tkPacman option "terminal" from
konsole -nofork -p tabtitle=%t -e %c
to
konsole --title %t -e %c
If I have to update tkPacman for some reason, I will also correct the command template for Konsole.

@Alad I have just uploaded a new version of tkpacman with a Makefile based on your proposal. I have removed the execute permission for main.tcl, but I did not manage to remove it for askpass.tcl. The latter is called indirectly by "sudo --askpass" by storing "/usr/share/tkpacman/askpass/askpass.tcl" in the environment variable "SUDO_ASKPASS".If I put "tclsh /usr/share/tkpacman/askpass/askpass.tcl" in "SUDO_ASKPASS" "sudo --askpass" fails.

@Alad Thank you. I will have a look at it. At the moment tkPacman needs "askpass.tcl" to be executable, but that can be avoided. However, I am not sure that I understand the reason for your quote of file-hierarchy(7). Do you mean that the tcl-sources should be in /usr/lib/tkpacman rather than in /usr/share/tkpacman?

https://paste.xinu.at/OmIIk/ Usage: make DESTDIR="$pkgdir" PREFIX='/usr' install On that regard, how necessary is it to have main.tcl and askpass.tcl as executables in /usr/share? (assuming they need to be executable and not run by tclsh) Compare file-hierarchy(7): /usr/lib Static, private vendor data that is compatible with all architectures (though not necessarily architecture-independent). Note that this includes internal executables or other binaries that are not regularly invoked from a shell. Such binaries may be for any architecture supported by the system. Do not place public libraries in this directory, use $libdir (see below), instead.

@Alad No problem. No need to hurry.

Alad commented on 2017-10-07 13:52 (UTC)

herremaw, sorry for the late reply; I'm a bit busy at the moment. I'll write you back on the Makefile as soon as I have the time.

@Alad Maybe I misunderstood your comment of 2017-09-28 20:38 on tkPacman. I thought that you meant that you already had a Makefile for tkPacman. Maybe that was a misunderstanding. Or is there another problem why there is no follow up on this comment? Feel free to contact me. I am willing to cooperate.

herremaw commented on 2017-09-29 04:51 (UTC)

@Alad Yes, that is interesting. I have tried a few times to understand how to set up a make file, but I never had enough perseverance. Could you send it to me?

Alad commented on 2017-09-28 20:38 (UTC)

Would you accept a Makefile for this project?

Using "konsole" with tkpacman requires a modification of the "terminal" option of tkpacman. 1. Menu Tools → Options; 2. For option "terminal", select the value with "konsole" from the drop down list; 3. Press the "<->" button beside the "terminal" option to edit it; 4. Replace "--caption %t" with "-p tabtitle=%t" such that the value becomes "konsole --nofork -p tabtitle=%t -e %c"
