Installing Plasmoids with CMAKE

Post by big_dog1968 »

I downloaded a plasmoid for KDE. Unfortunately there is no way to automatically install it. I followed the directions:
INSTALL NOTES
tar -jxf yawp*
cd yawp*
./install.sh
First I got this message:
daddy@daddy-desktop ~/.Plasmoids/yawp-0.3.2 $ ./install.sh
DEBUG:
UNITTESTS:
./install.sh: line 109: cmake: command not found
CMake failed. Your system probably does not match all requirements.
daddy@daddy-desktop ~/.Plasmoids/yawp-0.3.2 $ cmake
The program 'cmake' is currently not installed. You can install it by typing:
sudo apt-get install cmake
cmake: command not found
Then I installed CMAKE and tried again and got this message:
DEBUG:
UNITTESTS:

.

What am I doing wrong that this is giving me troubles?

Have you installed build-essential from the Package Manager ?

No. I figured when I installed cmake that all that it required function would be installed with it. I will install it now and try again. Thanks.

Installed build-essential and tried again. No dice. Is there a program that can take one of these tars and automatically do all the unpacking, compiling, and installing from a gui?
