Install (almost) any plasmoid

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

Oh I see, so this basically means I'll have to wait for these plasmoids to be made compatible with KDE 4.1 I guess.

Thanks a lot for your lightning fast response!

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

Doesn't work:
multirow taskbar
quicklauncher (both source and ubuntu versions)
plasma-am3rok

I am running a fresh Kubuntu 8.04 kde4.1 and have installed QuickLauncher form the ubuntu packed http://kde-look.org/content/download...2&tan=40657286 width out any problems

I alsow have installed the multirow taskbar. From http://www.kolumbus.fi/kare.sars/KDE/tasks2.tar.gz (made by sars http://kde-look.org/content/show.php...77&forumpage=2) but first I have to install kdebase-workspace-dev

I also get this

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

And no, I simply cannot find the makefile I have cmake, automake and build-essential installed - am I missing something?

Yep, I think I've found what I'm missing (head hanging in shame - it is right in Fintan's first post!)

sudo apt-get install libkonq5-dev libkonq5 cmake libplasma-dev kdelibs5-dev g++

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

Yep. I get that same error every time, even after having all that other stuff installed. Never figured out and never really asked, but while someone has, I'd be interested in knowing why the error?

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

Well, you need all of that:

sudo apt-get install libkonq5-dev libkonq5 cmake libplasma-dev kdelibs5-dev g++ kdebase-dev

I left one out up to, namely the last one.

Also, if you are reading this, Fintan, perhaps you could update your first post to read the above line so that people can just copy and paste and to reflect the change from kdebase-dev-kde4 to kdebase-dev

And MoonRise, you sure you got all those? Try again and report back

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

Thought I did .

Anyway, YEA!!!!

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

So you got them all installed but it still ain't working? You got build-essential on your box?

Well, having said that, there are enough plasmoids which I have not been able to install, but others work no probs. Try the weather widget for example, it worked for me (although it is useless since it only accepts zip codes, i.e. USA )

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

The "Yea" was for getting it to work finally. Found out that after installing those (didn't have kdebase-dev) I had to start from the beginning. Once I did that it MAKE and MAKE INSTALL as it should. Now I have "New Device Notifier Automount" .

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

Yeah!

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

Now this is a great little Plasmoid. Make went well and the Cashew is gone!!!

Re: Install (almost) any plasmoid

I don't want to pee on anyone's matches, but i installed it with Synaptic.

Add this to your repos:
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/samrog131/ubuntu intrepid main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/samrog131/ubuntu intrepid main

There are some other neat ones in there, as well.

KDE 4.1 plasmoids with the KDE 4.2

The Good News: KDE 4.2 has lot of plasmoids as default (System Monitor CPU/Hardware/Net/Temperature... whatever)

The Bad News: KDE 4.2 is using libplasma3, KDE 4.1 is using libplasma2. So with the plasmoids compiled with the KDE 4.1:

Depends: libplasma2 => Error: Cannot install 'libplasma2'

This is easy, with some applications, to correct with recompilation BUT some plasmoids will need to be rewrite to work with the KDE 4.2 !
