Hi! First time poster, and first-time user of KDE Neon Plasma 5.10

I wanted to get a top-bar like in Unity, having a global menu and move the WIndow-buttons up there as well. I found a widget called Active WIndow Control, which allows me to add the title of the application I am currently using, and merge the Window buttons with the global menu on maximizing. I used this Widget by installing it through the "get more widgets" function. I realized that the title of the application in the top left is not adaptive with the spacing, and therefore either overlaps the global menu or leaves a huge gap.

I read that the newest version of Active Window Control was available directly from GitHub. I headed over (https://github.com/kotelnik/plasma-appl ... ow-control), extracted it to ~/.local/share/plasma/plasmoids/ and ran

Code: Select all

sudo bash install.sh

It returned some errors that I figured was because I am missing CMake. I installed it, and now have version 3.9.0:

Code: Select all

cmake --version
cmake version 3.9.0

CMake suite maintained and supported by Kitware (kitware.com/cmake).


I tried to install again, but it gave me some errors that I was missing Qt5. I ran:

Code: Select all

sudo apt-get install qt5-default
sudo apt-get install qtdeclarative5-dev

Once again I receive a new error upon running the install.sh script. Now I am unsure what to do. It says I am missing KF5PlasmaConfig.cmake and kf5Plasma-config.cmake?

What do? I Just want to run an install.sh file and install a Widget...

This is the whole errormessage:

Code: Select all

sudo bash install.sh

-- Could NOT find KF5Plasma: found neither KF5PlasmaConfig.cmake nor kf5plasma-config.cmake

You are missing other -dev packages that provide the needed files to compile the software. But which ones? That is not too difficult to find by using apt-file .

From the error messages you get, take each line that looks like this:

Code: Select all

-- Could NOT find KF5Plasma: found neither KF5PlasmaConfig.cmake nor kf5plasma-config.cmake


and use apt-file to find out which package contains one of the two *.cmake files listed in each line. One or the other will show a result.
Run the install script again.
You may have to do this a number of times as more dependencies are found.
