How about a Kubuntu / debian package??

I made an Archlinux package availaible via AUR:http://aur.archlinux.org/packages.php?ID=18819

Enjoy!

After much effort I was able to get all the commands on the home page to work without returning errors. I guess that means I've correctly build the widget.

How do I then go about installing the plasmoid?

I tried using the Add Widget tool, add widget from file, but it isn't obivous what file to point to.

NOTE TO DEVELOPERS: You've got to make installing new plasmoids MUCH easier. Please state what software needs to be installed (gcc and g++)? What environmental variables need to be set?

I followed the instructions but when I issue the make command it says there are no targets.

Any ideas?

minor problems...

same here. debian Sid with experimental packages installed

same problem on Gentoo amd64 KDE 4.1.66. Qt 4.4.2 Is there any solution? Thanks.

I had the same problem, but it seems to have been fixed by newer package updates by now.

(Debian experimental amd64)

the same problem on debian, kde 4.1.0

I've got the same error. Anyone knows what's wrong?

There are 2 icons missing from the weather.svg. When opened in inkscape, it says "Linked image not found" for object #11 and #12.

Hi,

This applet was really a miss in the KDE 4 desktop experience. Do you have any repository (git / svn) where we can pull the code from, in case we want to test pre-release versions and send feedback?

I ask, because I see in your to-do list the forecast is first, and I am eager to try this.


Very nice work!

Hi,

How can I display the weather from a Canadian zip code?
Thanks

Nevermind, got it - sorry ... reading helps :)

when I am doing this step
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='kde4-config --prefix' ..
, I have this error :

CMake Error at /usr/share/cmake-2.6/Modules/FindKDE4.cmake:72 (MESSAGE):

Can anyone help me to resolve this ? I really want to put this plasmoid on my desktop !!
Thank you

Thank you for your help !
Indeed I am on Kubuntu with kde 4.1 RC installed.
I installed kdebase-dev-kde4 and the error disappeared so I could have made the make and make install.

But after, what do I have to do to see the plasmoid on the desktop ??
Sorry for those basic questions...I am a beginner on kubuntu.

Just "unlock widgets" and then click on "add new widget". It must be found in the plasmoid browser.
If it doesn't directly after the install a restart of your session should help.

Hi,

could it be that you use KDE4.0.x?
If yes then maybe it doesn't work for you, because KDE4.0.x uses Qt4.3 and KDE4.1.x Qt4.4, which brings many more features than the older one.
If no then be sure that you have at least installed the kdebase4-devel and cmake-devel packages.

I hope this will help you.

If you are using Kubuntu make sure that you have the build-essentials, kde4-devel and libplasma-dev packages installed. Let me know whether or not this fixes your problem.

Actually, I just try again installing kde4-devel this time and when I am doing make install, I get this error :

What should I do ?

Part of the whole point of using Plasma instead of something like Screenlets or Superkaramba is that the same applets can be used either on the desktop/dashboard or on the panel (as if there's no difference between karambas and kicker applets). Can you make this work better in small spaces such as the panel (including if the user has scaled it down to the height of a menu)? Maybe at smaller sizes it could omit the text weather description and simply list the place name and temperature to the left of the icon?

Yes, this is on my list of things to do. Thanks!! :-)

It would be nice, if your plasmoid could support internationalization. It could load messages from text files different for each language. Now it seems possible only before compilation, but detecting environment language and looking for apropriate file in specific folder would be nice. Of course, if they weren't found, used would be default english messages. Can you make such an improvement?

I will investigate this. Thanks!! :-)

Very nice widget. I was looking for this kind of weather only i.e. a small widget which shows *only* the basic information along with images. As far as i'm concerned this look should be the final (apart from small changes without complicating the things; like weather++ in superkaramba, ops, that was/is also a good widget but very big for my taste).

Just keep on the work...
and, btw thanks for making the widget ;)
