Linux and KDE button for KBFX
Various KDE 1.-4. Improvements
Source (link to git-repo or to original if based on someone elses unmodified work): Add the source-code for this project on opencode.net
These button are proof that Kicker looks good with Rectangular buttons!
kbfx is the applet similar to a 'Start Button' but we can make it more beautiful and attractive! KDE artists are you reading this ;)?
These buttons are created for 'Small' panel size! but can be used on Normal too. (you can resize it ;)
If you have better kmenu button or can create one please do make nice buttons for kbfx!
get kbfx from http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=24898
have fun!

i think this app is a great feature for the kde desktop...
but i think it is not so easy to install for everyone!
for example me: i allready know how to install such a app but am not able to understand how to solve small problems ;)
here my exact problem:
"configure: error: Your Installation isn't able to compile simple C++ programs.
Check config.log for details - if you're using a Linux distribution you might miss
a package named similiar to libstd++-dev.
"
but...i allready installed a package named similiar to that!
any suggestions?

if you use an RPM based distro check out with this command:
rpm -qa|grep gcc
rpm -qa|grep g++
if you don't get any result that means you are not having gcc and g++ installed. You need to install the GCC and G++ RPMS (devel ones too) to get anything compiled on your system!
have fun!

******@funki:~> rpm -qa|grep gcc
gcc-3.3.5-5
gcc-objc-3.3.5-5
libgcc-3.3.5-5
******@funki:~> rpm -qa|grep g++
******@funki:~>
"
so i will need to install the g++ libs?!
my linux dis is SuSE 9.3. ;)

find where KDE is installed by typing:
---------------------
echo $KDEDIR
---------------------
if that doesn't show anything then try running
---------------------
which kedit
which konqueror
which kcontrol
---------------------
alternatively you can compile by using these commands
---------------------
./configure --prefix=$KDEDIR
make
make intall
cp ~/kbfx/src/xp.xpm $KDEDIR/share/icons/default.kde/22x22/actions
cp ~/kbfx/src/xp.png $KDEDIR/share/icons/default.kde/22x22/actions
------------------------
Observe that $KDEDIR is important.

try these commands: one by one!
tar -jxvf kbfx-0.4.4.tar.bz2
cd kbfx
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde3
make
make install
and read carefully my previous comment ;)

checking for libz... configure: error: not found.
Possibly configure picks up an outdated version
installed by XFree86. Remove it from your system.
Check your installation and look into config.log

if you are using slackware 10.1:

How to compile & install kbfx:
1. download the kbfx-0.4.4.tar.bz2
2. tar -jxvf kbfx-0.4.4.tar.bz2
3. cd kbfx
4. ./configure --prefix=$KDEDIR
5. make
6. make install
7. cp kbfx/src/xp.xpm $KDEDIR/share/icons/default.kde/22x22/actions
8. also copy "cp kbfx/src/xp.png $KDEDIR/share/icons/default.kde/22x22/actions"
9. Right-Click on panel->Add to Panel->Add Applet->kbfx
10. restart KDE (relogin)
now you can drag the pixmaps from this klaunch2 theme on the button! or you can edit the $HOME/.kbfx/config file.
