You have a lot to install before you can start compiling:

Run this in a terminal, then go for a coffee, because it will take a while.

sudo apt-get install kdelibs4-dev build-essential cmake

what directory do I run it in?

owner@ubuntu:~$ or owner@ubuntu:~/Desktop$

That command can be run in any directory.

Well it didnt take to long. It finished and I tried to run cmake again and this is what happened

Run this in any directory:

sudo apt-get install libical-dev

Sorry it's taking so long, but I don't have your same distro, not even your same version of KDE, so I have to go with the error messages.

Please dont apologize I appreiciate your patients and help.

I did the last instruction and got the following

You need to install the "gettext" or "gettext-tools" package ( its gettext-tools on my SUSE system )

Ok it looks like I am finally making some head way. I installed get-text and then ran the cmake .. command (where I have been hitting a brick wall) when I did that some of the files began to unpack. This did not happen before. But I did end up with an error at the end. I am posting the entire result below. I am soooo close I can feel it

BTW how will the check printing function show on kmymoney? Will it be a new icon on the left menu bar or on the top?

Please note the the last post showing errors I got had to do with the icalendar. I am concerned with the ability to print checks from kmymoney. That is what I want to do. I dont see any errors with regard to that.

In the build forlder run:

ccmake ..

You should have an option to disable the calendar plugin there.

The easiest way of installing the check printing plugin on Ubuntu is to use clay's PPA located at https://edge.launchpad.net/~claydoh/+archive see this message viewtopic.php?f=69&t=18719#p23855

this is what I get when I run ccmake .. I do not see any option to disable the calendar. Also, if I disable it will that allow the print check to run? And I do have a calendar on my version of kmymoney now on the "schedule transactions" tab, will disabling it interfere with that or is this something different?

Please try to install the plugins from the above mentioned PPA.

Cristian checked the PPA, and you should have it all there.

For that, you should first uninstall kmymoney, follow the instructions to add the PPA, and then install KMyMoney and the plugins from there.

It will be a whole lot easier than compiling the plugins from scratch.

Ok I installed those plugins, copied and pasted and all that good stuff. Whats next? How do I get it to work?
