hey ppl!
i was interested in simon in relation with pseudo-ai user interfaces. but have some problems compiling it. not many solutions on google. i think i'm missing some dependency that is not specified in the wiki. here's the output of build.sh:

any hints are welcome! hope it can helps also other users

Indeed you need this software to be compiled and installed first:
https://projects.kde.org/projects/playg ... repository

It's not yet packaged for Debian.

Just realized now what your problem was. Should be fixed now by a recent commit. So please use git clone to get current master of Simon.
