Editing

Change:

terminalDock->setAllowedAreas(Qt::TopDockWidgetArea | Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea);

to

terminalDock->setAllowedAreas(Qt::TopDockWidgetArea | Qt::BottomDockWidgetArea | Qt::LeftDockWidgetArea | Qt::RightDockWidgetArea);

Compiling

mkdir -p builddir

cd builddir && cmake .. \
     -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
     -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/konsole \
     -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/konsole \
     -DLIB_INSTALL_DIR=lib \
     -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=off \
     -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF

make

sudo make install

Testing

Konsole:

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=/opt/konsole/lib; /opt/konsole/bin/dolphin

Seems to work...
