Skippy-xd

giovanni

I tried to install skippy-xd from git, following this steps

cd /tmp/

sudo eopkg it git giflib-devel libxt-devel libxft-devel libxrender-devel libxcomposite-devel libxdamage-devel libxfixes-devel libxext-devel libxinerama-devel libpng-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel

git clone https://github.com/richardgv/skippy-xd.git
cd skippy-xd
make
sudo make install

Unfortunately, when I launch the make command I've got this error:
make: pkg-config: File o directory non esistente
cc -DNDEBUG -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -std=c99 -Wall -DCFG_XINERAMA -DCFG_LIBPNG -DCFG_JPEG -DCFG_GIFLIB -DSKIPPYXD_VERSION="\"git-397216c-2015-02-24\"" -c src/skippy.c
/bin/sh: riga 1: cc: comando non trovato
make: *** [Makefile:62: skippy.o] Errore 127

Is there a way to solve or an alternative way to have exposè overiview in Budgie?
Thanks for help.

Why are you trying to compile a 10 years old software (more or less made with Ubuntu/Debian in mind) on a rolling release ? The last "daily" build of this thing is five years old and made for Ubuntu Xenial, I'm betting that there's nearly nothing on Solus that could be used to build this.

EDIT:
Turns out I'm wrong. sudo eopkg it pkg-config libjpeg-turbo-devel giflib-devel and you're good to go.

CorvusRuber I found a guide in this forum and I thought I could install it.
I follow your advise but, after installing those packages, when I launch 'make' command I get this error which is a bit different from the previous one

cc -I/usr/include/uuid -I/usr/include/freetype2 -I/usr/include/harfbuzz -I/usr/include/glib-2.0 -I/usr/lib64/glib-2.0/include -I/usr/include/libpng16 -DNDEBUG -O2 -D_FORTIFY_SOURCE=2 -std=c99 -Wall -DCFG_XINERAMA -DCFG_LIBPNG -DCFG_JPEG -DCFG_GIFLIB -DSKIPPYXD_VERSION="\"git-397216c-2015-02-24\"" -c src/skippy.c

giovanni make sure you have system.devel installed.

sudo eopkg it -c system.devel

giovanni

algent You're right, after installed them and reboot I was able to make the package.
But now I don't know how to configure it.
Any suggestions?

I have no idea. I can only suggest you to read the wiki page: https://code.google.com/archive/p/skippy-xd/wikis

I still use this package.yml to create a package and then install that. It works fine (did this a year ago).
