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.

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.

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.

@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"

Hello Fabio, I am the developer of tkPacman. It has been a while that I have tested tkPacman with konsole. From the information you have sent, it is obvious that konsole does not like the "--caption" option anymore. I would suggest that you first start with modifying the "terminal" option: menu Tools → Options, then choose the value with "konsole", then click on the "<->" button to edit the "terminal" option and remove "--caption %t". The terminal option should then be "konsole --nofork -e %c". I will also do some tests, but that may take some time because I need to install a system with KDE or plasma environment first. I will report on that later. I hope that in the mean time my suggestion will allow you to start using tkPacman. Kind regards, Willem Herremans

Fabio
