8 months ago the problem is that there is no unified command line arguments for specific parameters, for example, some terminals are using -T for setting the title and some -t, some will use -d and some will use --working-directory for setting the working directory
So, the approach I took was to manually support each terminal in CodeLite. If you have a specific terminal in mind, just let me know and I will add it.
For now, I have fixed the issue with RXVT since this was the trigger for this issue. If you have other terminals in mind -> please open a PR for a missing terminal that you think should be added to CodeLite
What happened?
I built codelite to the current master version for VoidLinux. While trying to run a previous project that run in Codelite v16, I found out that it could not run since no terminal was found. I have xterm and lilyterm installed. The settings->preferences->terminal did not allow me to select anything, it was blank.
I then checked the code and found that there are only specific terminals allowed. I then manually changed the codelite.conf for rxvt-unicode (which I installed on my system). Even then I couldn't run it because in voidlinux rxvt executable is "urxvt". The only solution was to link rxvt-unicode to urxvt.
A good option would be to allow the user to specify the executables and avoid hard-coding them.
Moreover, a good thing would be to notify the user that none of the supported terminals were found rather than falling back to gnome-terminal that would not necessarily be installed.
