           Summary: KONSOLE_TERMCMD in bitbake.conf doesn't work
           Product: Openembedded
           Version: Angstrom 2008.x
          Platform: PC
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: minor
          Priority: P3
         Component: org.openembedded.dev
        AssignedTo: openembedded-commits at lists.openembedded.org
        ReportedBy: quickx at hotmail.com


I'm running KDE and when I did a "bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig" it
complained about not having gnome-terminal.  After a bit of googling I found
that I can change this in /conf/bitbake.conf.  I changed the following:

TERMCMD ?= "${GNOME_TERMCMD}"
TERMCMDRUN ?= "${GNOME_TERMCMDRUN}"

to

TERMCMD ?= "${KONSOLE_TERMCMD}"
TERMCMDRUN ?= "${KONSOLE_TERMCMDRUN}"


When I do "bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig" it now complains that "-T"
option doesn't exsist for Konsole.  I then modify bitbake.conf again:

KONSOLE_TERMCMD = 'konsole -T "$TERMWINDOWTITLE"'

to

KONSOLE_TERMCMD = 'konsole'

When I do "bitbake virtual/kernel -c menuconfig" it now pops up a Konsole
window which then disappears a split second later.  OE says "0 failed" in this
case.  Unsure how to fix this.


---Suggestions---
1. It'd be nice if OE was able to auto detect this instead of setting
gnome-terminal by default.  At very least fixing the KONSOLE_TERMCMD would be
great.

2. If it needs to be hardcoded, using something more generic as the default
would be nice.  The "XTERM_TERMCMD" worked perfectly for me.

3. If not changing anything then at least mentioning it in the user manual
would be good.

Thanks
