[Solved] Widget RSS news for KDE4.1.2

[*blasco*]

Hi! I'm searching a KDE4 widget for the RSS news!
I know that this widget exists:
http://etotheipiplusone.com/kde4-rss-news-widget.png

but i think that maybe it exists only for the KDE4 SVN because i didn't find it anywhere..
Do you know if I can install this widget for my KDE4.1.2??

Thank you and sorry for my english :P

Maybe this helps > RSSNOW - how to force it to fetch feeds

by "grew"

Yes, great! It works!

Let me summarize:
1. Grab sources and compile rss dataengine.
- svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/dataengines/rss
- create brand-new CMakeLists.txt (post #8)
- edit plasma-dataengine-rss.desktop and change: ServiceTypes to X-KDE-ServiceTypes, add line: X-Plasma-EngineName=rss
- mkdir build; cd build; cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
- make
- su; make install

2. Grab RSSNOW sources and compile it.
- svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdereview/plasma/applets/rssnow
- mkdir build; cd build; cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` ..
- make
- su; make install

3. Logout & Login (or simply restart plasma)
4. Add RSSNOW widget, have fun

Thank you bcooksley and aseigo!

Trying, with the Kubuntu 8.10 Intrepid Ibex:

Loading:

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebase/workspace/plasma/dataengines/rss

and

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdeplasma-addons/applets/rssnow

Doing as "grew" tells (1) and compiling (2),(3) ... seems to work.

For the Intrepid > a PPA repository for the RssNow


(1) plasmoid-rssnow is using:

#include <plasma/widgets/iconwidget.h>

but KDE 4.1.2 doesn't have "iconwidget.h". So using "icon.h" and "Icon" instead of "iconwidget.h" and "IconWidget" in the scroller.cpp and in the scroller.h

(2) rss (engine)
Build-Depends: kdelibs5-dev, libplasma-dev, libqt4-dev, libboost-dev, kdepimlibs5-dev, (+build-essential).

(3) rssnow (plasmoid)
Build-Depends: kdelibs5-dev, libqt4-dev, libplasma-dev, (+build-essential).

I found the RSS engine would not compile for me as stated.

It keept giving me an "Unknown CMake command “kde4_add_plugin” error."

After a bit of googling for an answer, I was able to compile it by modifying the CMakeLists.txt like this :

find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED)
find_package(Boost REQUIRED)
include(KDE4Defaults)
include(MacroOptionalAddSubdirectory)

add_definitions (${QT_DEFINITIONS} ${KDE4_DEFINITIONS})
include_directories(${Boost_INCLUDE_DIR} ${KDEPIMLIBS_INCLUDE_DIR})

set(rss_engine_SRCS
  rss.cpp
)

kde4_add_plugin(plasma_engine_rss ${rss_engine_SRCS})
target_link_libraries(plasma_engine_rss ${KDE4_PLASMA_LIBS} ${KDE4_KDECORE_LIBS} ${KDE4_SYNDICATION_LIBS})

install(TARGETS plasma_engine_rss DESTINATION ${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR})
install(FILES plasma-dataengine-rss.desktop DESTINATION ${SERVICES_INSTALL_DIR} )

This gets rid of the complaints from cmake, and it appears to compile OK, but now the makefile won't install properly... :P
