cannot get a terminal in geany
 
the terminal is always just is there, but not now. It is not showing up. It is setup for on in the preferences, and still no, so I found the website and still no go.

followed instructions:
slack 14.2 current
geany 1.29

file:///usr/doc/geany-1.29/html/index.html#virtual-terminal-emulator-widget-vte

installed libvterm soft linked as per geany webpage in link,
Code:
userx@slackwhere:~
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libvte-2.91.so.0.5000.1 /usr/lib/libvte.so
userx@slackwhere:~
$ sudo rm  /usr/lib/libvte.so
userx@slackwhere:~
$ sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libvterm.so.0.0.0  /usr/lib/libvte.so
neither one worked. anyone got a good idea?

Hello,

I use Geany since a long time and I never had to install libvterm nor to create symlinks manually, but the package vte (comes with slackware) need to be installed.

Here (geany-1.31) the symlink is not even needed. But it's Slint64-14.2, no multilib.

Maybe you just need to put the mouse on the line limiting of the bottom panel, hold and go down?

Not here. But in the menu: View => Toggle All Additional Widgets. Still you need to find the horizontal line limiting the additional widgets' window with the mouse, hold it and go up or down.

It looks really weird (and wrong) to link a place for a 32-bit library to a 64 bit one. why are you doing that? multib?

Hello,

Seems there's an incompatibility between Geany and vte 0.50.1. On -current, when vte 0.50.1 is installed, Geany build fine but the terminal is not available. I built vte 0.28.2 on -current, and now, Geany's terminal is working fine.

Didn't find any clue about that so far on the net.

Hello,

0.28.2 is vte from 14.2.

However, I think that's because Geany is build with gtk+2 while vte (since 0.50 ?) is build with gtk+3 (3.0 by default).

diff between vte-0.28.2 and vte-0.50 slackbuilds :

removes gtk3 by default. experimental. it might not hurt to change that and give it a try just for a look see.
