    Installing plasmaoids on kde4

    Okay I wanted to try a plasoid just for fun.
    So I downloaded this:
    http://www.kde-look.org/content/show.php
    and followed these instructions:

    And followed these instructions:

    *tar -xvf plasmoid.tar.gz
    * cd plasmoid
    * mkdir build
    * cd build
    * cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4/
    * make
    * sudo make install OR su -c "make install"
    * Have fun! :-)
    and got this

    fintan@fintanws2:~/Eyecandy/KDE4/Mailnotifyer/emailnotify$ mkdir build
    fintan@fintanws2:~/Eyecandy/KDE4/Mailnotifyer/emailnotify$ cd build
    fintan@fintanws2:~/Eyecandy/KDE4/Mailnotifyer/emailnotify/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4/
    CMake Error: The source directory "/home/fintan/Eyecandy/KDE4/Mailnotifyer/emailnotify/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
    Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.
    fintan@fintanws2:~/Eyecandy/KDE4/Mailnotifyer/emailnotify/build$
    so I went back to the extracted file and it gives me this:

    fintan@fintanws2:~/Eyecandy/KDE4/Mailnotifyer/emailnotify$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4/
    -- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc

    fintan@fintanws2:~/Eyecandy/KDE4/Mailnotifyer/emailnotify$
    I already noticed while installing a plasma theme that GG and HH put the kde4rootfiles in a different place than is "normal".

    Any ideas?

    Re: Installing plasmaoids on kde4

    try this:

    export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/kde4/bin
    cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4/..

    first line sets the path to be kde4 (you may not need this if you are running kde4 while building)
    second line is adding '..' to the prefix

      Is this what yuo meant?

      I am not very good with "make" and cmake so I am not sure about this but would like to get a foot in

        Re: Installing plasmaoids on kde4

        cmake is all new and foreign to most of us as of yet
        But i think you forgot to move into the build directory,:

        Code:
        cd build
        after 'mkdir build'

        you do have cmake installed, is it safe to assume?

          Re: Installing plasmaoids on kde4

          actually, there needs to be a space between '-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4' and '..'
          and please don't ask me why, as I could not tell you why

          but it works

            Thankx clay,
            Itried cd build in the first try you can see the results in my FP.

            I did it again with your suggestions:
            fred1@fintanws2:~/Eycandy/Kde4/emailnotify_v0.2/emailnotify$ mkdir build
            fred1@fintanws2:~/Eycandy/Kde4/emailnotify_v0.2/emailnotify$ cd build
            fred1@fintanws2:~/Eycandy/Kde4/emailnotify_v0.2/emailnotify/build$ export PATH=$PATH:/usr/lib/kde4/bin
            fred1@fintanws2:~/Eycandy/Kde4/emailnotify_v0.2/emailnotify/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4/ ..

            Could it be that cmake is so new that it doesn't quite work yet? I think it is build on qT4 which is very new.

            Have you tried installing a plasmoid on your system?

            If so how was your expierience?

              Cmake was first implemented mid-2000.

                    Re: Installing plasmaoids on kde4

                    I just installed the system_status plasmoid (http://www.kde-look.org/content/show...?content=74891) and it compiled and installed fine, after I installed some packages (see below).

                    From your error message
                    Code:
                    ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found
                    I checked out where the file FindKDE4Internal.cmake is located. It belongs to the package kdelibs5-dev. Have you got that installed?
                    I also had to install the package libplasma-dev to get it compiling.

                    Hope that helps.

                        Re: Installing plasmaoids on kde4

                        A tip when compiling software. If an error message occurs during the configure or compile process, then it's probably a developers-library that's missing. Your last error message says something about "phonon"; in that case, try to search for a developers-package which has phonon in its name. Usually developers-packages has their name constructed something like phonon-dev or libphonon-dev. Try this command:

                        Code:
                        apt-cache search phonon dev
                        and you'll find the package which you should install.
