cant you append an optional argument,
createImage(xxx,xxx,xxx,xxx, Order)
taking to values: Front(default), Back
and then render images this order:
back, images from theme, front?

when i ./configure i get:

checking for libz... configure: error: not found. Check your installation and look into config.log

I'm running redhat 9

Just downloaded Superkaramba-0.17g and used the precomplied binary (I have Mandrake 9.1) and noticed that the reload choice on the superkaramba menu is missing. Is that intentional?

probably because I've noticed that reloading a theme made superkaramba crash or the theme didn't get reloaded perfectly

i think the python script reload is still not implemented. stay tuned ;)

Anyone know if SuperKaramba has an official website? This just doesn't feel very, um real...

Doesn't feel real? What does that mean?

Anyway, I'm working on the website. But I also have university exams this week so give me a week to get it up.

Thanks.

Hi,

Anybody knows why when i try to change any font it doesnt works? I can do it with Captain Podd font only (it comes with slickbar).

Thanks

I am also having the configure file drop out with this message:

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

I know I have everything I need (qt-3.1.1-6) but it nor I can point it to where it is. I'm running RedHat 9 and when I attempted:
./configure-with-qt-include=/usr/include/qt3 -with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3-with-qt-lib=/usr/lib/qt3 it still dropped out.

Is there anyone that might be able to help?

I've made a package of superkaramba for debian woody (with kde 3.1.1a from kde.org), but i think it will work with sarge and sid.
I'ts my first package, i've take the Jean-Michel Kelbert package for sid has a reference (i'd backported that for woody too), Like is my first package it may had errors, so i really like if some one want to test it (it's work wonderful for me but i'dont know how it will on others machines).
The problem is, that i don't have a place to put it, so please mailme if you want the package or can provide some place for make the package available for everyone

Sid is using gcc3.2 right now, so maybe that woody packets will not work really good. At this moment there are pakets for karamba, if someone is interested I can build superkaramba i386 debs for sid.

Can't you simply upload it here? It's the best way to get feedback :)

i'd like to test it at least in one other machine before make a "public release"

checking for Qt... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 3.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation!
For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log.

please can you help?

its now a full day i am trying to make'it work, just cant find whats missing now to make it?
i am on testing debian with:
KDE 3.1.1

To compile Qt apps with debian you need:
*libqt3-mt-dev
*g++
*gcc

to compile:
try ./configure -with-qt-include=/usr/include/qt3 -with-qt-dir=/usr/share/qt3 -with-qt-lib=/usr/lib/qt3

then make and all should be fine ;)

thank you!
it worked to configure... but cant make and make install it give me errors. make[3]: Leaving directory `/vicky/Desktop/superkaramba-0.17g/src

Well thanks at least i learned how to configure :)

What errors did make give you?

"Leaving directory" isn't an error, its just a notice of what it's doing. An error will say "Error 1" or something similar.

If you didn't get any errors, look for "karamba" in the src subdirectory. Thats the compiled program.

I can't complie. I get these errors on Mandrake 8.x: (configure reports no errors)

You should email me output that long...

But anyway you need to upgrade to the latest version of qt3 (3.1.1). Even better, download mandrake 9.1 cds and do the upgrade. 8.2 is pretty old.

Big thanks again :)

Add a contextmenu-entry to edit the script! Makes developing much easier :)

And the possibility to delete Images, or at least overwrite them (not write over them -> problems with transparency!)

Anybody can tell me which version of Qt and the Qt-devel packages I need to compile superkaramba-0.17f under SuSE 8.1?

thx and rgds

I used libqt3 version 3.1.1 to develop karamba. Any qt3 version 3.1 should work, and 3.0 might even work. Why do you ask? Are you having difficulty making it compile?

Yes, I have problems compiling superkaramba. I tried to compile 17d, 17e and 17f on SuSE 8.1 (Qt version 3.0.5) without succes. Also the RPMs didn't work. I solved the problem I had with python, but now there's a new error. Will post more information about the error thursday evening, when I'm back at home.

thx and rgds
