issues with cmake, trying to intall gmail feed widget

[classl3ss]

I am having a hard time installing the gmail feed widget, and I'm not sure how to proceed. I am a Linux novice, so I'm not sure what information would be helpful. This is what the output in terminal was when I tried to run cmake to install the feed.

What should I do, and what information do others need to help me figure out what went wrong?

Thank you so much for your time!

Do you have the ECM installed ?
Ubuntu package extra-cmake-modules - http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...ll&section=all

[classl3ss]

So, in order to further display how much of an amateur I am, what is ECM? I'm assuming this is something I can install?

Thank you again!

So, in order to further display how much of an amateur I am, what is ECM? I'm assuming this is something I can install?

It is ' Extra CMake Modules' - more: https://api.kde.org/ecm/manual/ecm.7.html

With the Ubuntu, you install the package: extra-cmake-modules - http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?ke...ll&section=all

AptGet/Howto: https://help.ubuntu.com/community/AptGet/Howto

Konsole:

sudo apt-get update
sudo apt-get install extra-cmake-modules

[classl3ss]

Thank you for sticking with this thread, and helping me out!

Actually I already installed Extra Cmake Modules. Just in case I did what you suggested (sudo apt-get update, followed by sudo apt-get install extra-cmake-modules). This was the output:

What do you think the issue is? Why might Cmake not recognize that I do have ECM installed?

[acheron]

It's finding ECM ok.

It's not finding qmake etc.

[classl3ss]

So, I tried installing qmake, using

sudo apt-get install qt5-default

.

That worked, however, now when I try running Cmake it gives me this output:

You need to track down and install some missing dependencies, still. You need to find which package provides one of the missing bits I have highlighted in red. You can use the search functions on packages.ubuntu.com to do this, or use the command line tool apt-file.

apt-file update
apt-file search Qt5QuickConfig.cmake

If one of the pair does not produce any output, search for the second one, and install the -dev package shown in the result

There may be a number of these missing, so it may take a few goes getting all the bits you need

So, for this particular error:

jake@jake-Latitude-E6420:~$ apt-file search Qt5QuickConfig.cmake
[COLOR="#0000FF"][B]qtdeclarative5-dev[/B]:[/COLOR] /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/Qt5Quick/Qt5QuickConfig.cmake

The package qtdeclarative5-dev is what needs to be installed.

[classl3ss]

Thanks Claydoh! That was very helpful! That got me through the next couple of steps (there was one more dependency missing, but I was able to install it by the same method you showed me).

However, now there is a new issue. Apparently a dependency of the make file is missing.

I feel like we're getting close! What is the next step?

[sasha]

sudo apt-get install kdelibs5-dev

[claydoh]

don't run make, cmake etc with sudo, it is not needed to compile software, only to do the actual install step afterward.

[claydoh]

Also, try the official release tar and not the git pull:
https://www.linux-apps.com/content/s...content=168237

It actually looks much newer than the git code, and compiled just fine here

[classl3ss]

Thanks for the heads up. I stopped using sudo with cmake.

However, I am still getting the same error even after trying version 1.1 (which you linked to) and installing kdelibs5-dev. What do you think I should try next?

As a quick guess this morning without further checking, I would say requires:

libkf5notifications-dev

Searching...

User discretion is advised !

Many application/plasma widget binaries can be found the Launchpad PPA system but user discretion is advised !
