I guess I would need make install.

Well, you also need the others. The one which build the plasma applet and the other things needed for it.

You are doing something wrong with cmake.

And I do not really understand why you modified the CMakeList.txt but if done right it should not harm.

How exactly do you call cmake?

In the plasma dir I call it with

Code: Select all

cmake CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr .

Basically, I commented missing subdirectories out. But I will try again and pay more attention about these directories. Maybe I missed something.

Mhhm, so you use your source dir as your build dir..

Never done that as it is unusal. But mhh i believe it should work.

And missing directories? You only checked out the nm folder from playground plasma? OK, i got all of it, that makes things easier. (but also only build the NM applet)

I tried with a build-directory too but that doesn't change things.

I checked out .../plasma/applets/networkmanager cause that's what usually works with other plasmoids.

UPDATE: I tried to checkout the complete plasma tree. Same problem. now it starts to be annoying.

Ok here is what i really have done: (retried it now)

Code: Select all

[kde-devel@newlapi ownbuild]$ mkdir nm
[kde-devel@newlapi ownbuild]$ cd nm/ 
[kde-devel@newlapi nm]$ mkdir src
[kde-devel@newlapi nm]$ cd src   
[kde-devel@newlapi src]$ svn co svn+ssh://danielw@svn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/plasma

[kde-devel@newlapi nm]$ cd build/ 
[kde-devel@newlapi build]$ cmake ../../src/plasma/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull

[cmake started, but stoped with some errors because some the applets still use the old find_package(plasma)]

[kde-devel@newlapi build]$ cd applets/networkmanager/
[kde-devel@newlapi networkmanager]$ pwd
/home/kde-devel/ownbuild/nm/build/applets/networkmanager

[kde-devel@newlapi networkmanager]$ cmake ../../../src/plasma/applets/networkmanager/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull

[that cmake runs through without problems]

and finaly:

I did exactly the same steps you wrote with the same result. The only difference here is that I have to write:
cmake ../src/plasma/ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull
The rest is the same. Thanks for the help anyway. I think I try to verify that cmake works correctly first but I think it does.

Well, other plasmoids from this checkout compile without problems.

Why are you calling cmake twice ? Only once in the top-level directory should be enough.

Well, that doesn't change it either. Still nothing when I execute make.

As I explained it: Some applets there (playground/base/plasma) have broken (for 4.2) CMakeList.txts using the old plasma vars. That stops cmake.

I guess it is solved here. After I installed networkmanager daemon additionally to libnetworkmanager it compiles. These are the lines in cmake that changed:

Code: Select all

-- checking for one of the modules 'NetworkManager'                       
--   found NetworkManager, version 0.7.0                 
-- Found NetworkManager 0.7.0:                                                   
-- Found libnm-util:

One thing is strange though. If that is a show stopper, shouldn't cmake show an error message? And before it found libnm 0.7.0, at least something similar so that I thought it was OK.

Yes, it should.. Somehow inform that it will not get build because of a missing dependency. If you want to file a bug report about it.

Filed a bug report here: 180033

Ok, now you can compile, but... how to connect to a wireless network?
On my machine (gentoo - kde 4.2 beta2) when I click on a network name, a configuration window pops up, and after filling the needed field and clicking ok....nothing happens!
A PolicyKit issue?

Probably a mark of how still in development the Plasmoid is.

It doesn't work here either. I get an empty plasmoid. Config options don't allow me to configure anything. Everyting except the vpn tab is greyed out.
Somehow he had to make the screenshots So I keep on trying.
