kioslave for rar files (SOLVED)

[Israfel_21]

Hello, I found this here... http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show...?content=17527

and I got this when i tried to configure the file

checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!

I have installed some kdelibs with adept but still no joy.
It's looking for a header file called ksharedptr.h

I hope someone can help me with this.
Thanks!

Re: kioslave for rar files

When you need header (.h) files, you need to install a '-dev' package
What is the version of your KDE?
for 3.x you may try kdelibs4-dev
for 4.x, try kdelibs5-dev

I think that solves.
But you've arrised a interesting question: if I need a particular file, how may I know which package provides it?
That can be done with 'apt-file'

apt-file search ksharedptr.h

If you don't have it, then install it first (package's named apt-file) and run

apt-file update

I hope that can be useful for somebody else.

Best luck.

Re: kioslave for rar files

Thank you walfred, I installed kdelibs4-dev, compiled and voila!...I have the kioslave working almost perfectly. BTW, I didn't know the apt-file trick. Thank you once again!

Right now its working fine with Dolphin, the only issue it has is that Dolphin open the rar file in a new window instead of a new tab. I'd like that Dolphin explore the rar files just like it does with the zip, tar files.
I'm sure it can be done, but I don't know how to do it.

You are welcome.
BTW, people here used to place SOLVED or something similar to indicate a closed problem.
Think this is nice to be done.

See ya
