Type TerminalContainer unavailable, Cannot assign to non-existent property blinkingCursor error #620

Hello all,

i just compiled the git version of this application together with the QMLWidget thing, but whenever I start the software, I'm receiving the following error:

QQmlApplicationEngine failed to load component qrc:/main.qml:137:5: Type TerminalContainer unavailable qrc:/TerminalContainer.qml:23:5: Type PreprocessedTerminal unavailable qrc:/PreprocessedTerminal.qml:97:9: Cannot assign to non-existent property "blinkingCursor" Cannot load QML interface

Are there any undocumented dependencies that I'm missing

P.S.: Version 1.1.1 is working fine, just trying to get the git version to work for the blinking cursor.

Get the same message after build flow on archlinux.

This is the same error thrown by the latest appimage build Cool_Retro_Term-dac2b4f-x86_64.AppImage

I don't know a thing about QT development, but I'd just like to mention that I was at least able to get cool-retro-term to run by reverting back to commit a736cfd5485ed0f0999da07fee72e3642dd87ff7:

git checkout a736cfd5485ed0f0999da07fee72e3642dd87ff7
qmake
make -j4
./cool-retro-term

Between "has blinking cursor support but doesn't run" and "no blinking cursor but runs", I'll take the latter. :)

The Jays solution works, but it's a workaround. Any updates on fixing this issue?

I confirm this works. Ubuntu 20.04.

On archlinux, you have to use qmltermwidget-git to get around this problem.

On other system, you have to build yourself qmltermwidget from git, I guess. Making a package out of it if needed

Shouldn't pulling recursively take care of this, though? Or do you mean an older commit of qmltermwidget?
