Gtkterm rs232 serial terminal

November 20, 2011 — BarryK
I posted about the Cutecom GUI serial terminal in the previous blog post:
http://bkhome.org/archive/blog2/201111/serial-link-to-ok6410-b.html

There is a later version of Cutecom, that requires Qt4:
http://cutecom.sourceforge.net/

There is also a GTK-based GUI serial terminal, named Gtkterm. I discovered that it is still being developed. It needs VTE. Site:
https://fedorahosted.org/gtkterm/

I tried to compile these apps statically against Qt4 and VTE, but failed. Probably it could be figured out. In the latter case there were undefined symbols, but applying what I thought were logical steps to fix it, did not. So, left it and just compiled Gtkterm again shared VTE library. Here are the PETs:
