Hi, I use Kubuntu 8.04

I use terminal:

./configure -prefix=/usr

and later sample this message:

configure:3305: error: C compiler cannot create executables
See `config.log' for more details.

My log file:

Please, can help me?

You don't have a C++ compiler on there. You need to install the gcc-c++ package (while you're at it, install gcc as well if you haven't already). This can probably be done with apt-get, but I'm not sure how you use it.

Very cool. I'd really like to see this with a darker border though (blue or black).

Just an annoyance... for me, there is a little white gap between the minimize and maximize buttons. Doesn't seem to matter how i configure it. This is different from your screen shot. I'm using all three buttons... i tried with and without spacers, same story.

Very clean and nice. Using it with shadows too. But I have two annotations:

1) When showing the application icon in the title bar there's too little space between it and the window title.

2) I would LOVE fading buttons as seen in the "Glow" theme. =)

This decoration is showing some drawing errors on the title bars. It seems to happen when choosing not to draw the application icon and having the titlebar text alligned to the left.

The following worked on an Ubuntu 7.04 system:

./configure --prefix=$(kde-config --prefix)
make
sudo checkinstall

Even when using "make -f admin/Makefile.common && make clean" like suggested, no dice. That command gives:

*** YOU'RE USING autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.53 or newer
make: *** [cvs] Error 1

Makes no sense at all. :/

petersi

As on many different places, the make -f thingy-command is no good for there is some nutty version-checking in the admin/cvs.sh. This check is way too picky about version-numbers returned from automake.(I'd simply comment this part of the code out)

Furthermore, a lot of developers simply do not use a standard KDE-installation for testing (if they did, these kind of errors wouldn't show up so commonly!)
DEVELOPERS: Get it right, please!

Then: ./configure produces an error: expected an absolute directory-name for <...>
You have to go: make -f Makefile.cvs
Then ./configure (the plain command!), make and make install (as usual)

I'll now have a look if installation went into the proper subdirs...

petersi

Nah, didn't think so. This package won't do on a plain Mandriva-install, nor a PCLinuxOS-install. Directories are not default, references to libraries are not standard.
Sorry, need some work.
I'd say: please do so, for the screen-shots are very nice and very original!

petersi

Might work if you'd copy the material from /usr/local/<whatever> to /usr<whatever> or you MUST have the path to /usr/local/lib active (which is not standard under Mandriva).
Got it working and i'm happy...

do u happen to use gentoo? if so, then syncronize ur portage and then emerge the newer gcc... worked for me

PARENA

My system is up to date (AMD64). But like the error says: I need 2.53 or newer, but I HAVE newer: 2.61... weird...

Doesn't build for me either. Same errors as everyone else. Something in your build system is screwed up.

I'm impressed by your screenshots, but I can't get this to install. First off, some files weren't set to be executable, so I just did a "chmod 777 * -R" in the cylonminimal directory. After configure, I try to run "make" and get the following output:

ryan@KOMGZ:~/Downloads/cylonminimal-0.1$ make

any ideas?

Just run 'make -f admin/Makefile.common && make clean' before you run the standard configure,make,make install triple. That worked for me ;)
