cbTerminal plugin to access terminal from the bottom panel for Linux ( wxGtk )

(1/2) > >>

christo:
https://github.com/josephch/cbTerminal is a small plugin to show bash terminal using VTE Gtk widget. It might be useful for Linux users.

ollydbg:
Nice work.

My question is that can you bring such feature to Windows OS?

Thanks.

@ollydbg, I've tried TerminalWx, which I believe is cross-platform. I decided to go with VTE because it appears better in my Ubuntu. My work to integrate TerminalWx is available in https://github.com/josephch/cb-TerminalWx . For Windows, you can try changing cbTerminalView_TerminalWx.cpp to use the correct terminal.
Edit : Following link describes a psuedoterminal i think that can be used for windows https://devblogs.microsoft.com/commandline/windows-command-line-introducing-the-windows-pseudo-console-conpty/

Hi, sorry for the late reply, I'm busy these days.

I have made a new fork of your repo: asmwarrior/TerminalWx: WxWidgets Terminal Widget, and try to build this library with the C::B and msys2.

I see some link errors

I'm not sure how difficult the windows conpty API is. I haven't tried it yet.

ollydbg:
OK, the linker error issue is fixed, I have pushed to my git fork.

Now, when I run the program, I see below screen shot, but I can't enter any chars to the terminal window.
