xfce weather applet

mixebox · Mar 15, 2024

I'm trying to find a way to install the XFCE weather task bar app. Neither the weather app nor the goodies app is available in the repository.

mixebox I couldn't find them either with an eopkg sr command when I read this last night. Have to assume not ready for the Beta yet. Saw nothing about exclusion/inclusion at devtracker.

It would be best to use xfce4-weather-plugin. It can be compiled.
Download latest version
You must have:

sudo eopkg install -c system.devel
sudo eopkg it xfce4-panel-devel libsoup-devel libxfce4util-devel libxfce4ui-devel json-c-devel libgtk-3-devel

Unzip the downloaded package and go to the catalog

Compile/install:

./configure --prefix=/usr
make
sudo make install

If something is missing, write.

This is already merged on unstable. It will be available next sync (around next week). Cheers!
