is it possible to get console-outputs while testing plasmoids in the viewer?
i tried "cout" but it doesnt give any outputs while testing with plasmoidviewer. is there a special output function in kde?

also i like to know wheather there is a path variable for the library directory in cmake.

Code: Select all

install(TARGETS nvcontrol
        DESTINATION /usr/lib )

"/usr/lib" is not very clean, so maybe you know a better way, i never used cmake before, but i try to learn. if alredy used IF/ELSE and CMAKE_SYSTEM_NAME :shade:

greetings

Try using this environmental variable, which will install it in $KDEDIR/lib/kde4/ which is the KDE standard location for KDE 4 plugins ( Plasma applets are Plugins to Plasma ).

Code: Select all

${PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR}

outpusts was a cmake install error, my plugin is working so far and dimming is possible with outputs^^ working 2 hours with an old version and was wondering...

i want an other path. cause, i want to install the backend.so and the nvclock.so to a public lib path without trashing /lib/kde4 but thanks for help

You can use kWarning() and kDebug() for outputting Warning / Debugging messages respectively.
