Basic TErminal

BTE provides a basic terminal widget for CTK applications.

Installation

$ git clone https://github.com/cafe-desktop/bte # Get the source code of BTE
$ cd bte                                        # Change to the toplevel directory
$ meson _build                                  # Run the configure script
$ ninja -C _build                               # Build BTE
[ Optional ]
$ ninja -C _build install                       # Install BTE to default `/usr/local`

• By default, BTE will install under /usr/local. You can customize the prefix directory by --prefix option, e.g. If you want to install BTE under ~/foobar, you should run meson _build --prefix=~/foobar. If you already run the configure script before, you should also pass --reconfigure option to it.

• You may need to execute ninja -C _build install as root (i.e. sudo ninja -C _build install) if installing to system directories.

• If you wish to test BTE before installing it, you may execute it directly from its build directory. As _build directory, it should be _build/src/app/bte-[version].

• You can pass -Ddebugg=true option to meson if you wish to enable debug function.

Debugging

After installing BTE with -Ddebugg=true flag, you can use BTE_DEBUG variable to control BTE to print out the debug information

# You should change bte-[2.91] to the version you build
$ BTE_DEBUG=selection ./_build/src/app/bte-2.91

# Or, you can mixup with multiple logging level
$ BTE_DEBUG=selection,draw,cell ./_build/src/app/bte-2.91

$ Or, you can use `all` to print out all logging message
$ BTE_DEBUG=all ./_build/src/app/bte-2.91

For logging level information, please refer to enum BteDebugFlags.
