Got for KDENEON mate. You get a nice solid 18.04 base system and the latest desktop crack from KDE. The Plasma desktop is fast and rarely has any problems, you will not be disappointed.

General / Re: Cant compile 2.5.1 from source Ubuntu bionic

« on: February 22, 2019, 08:56:45 PM »

I'm on KDENEON 18.04 as well, isn't that lucky!

A good technique to use when compiling and there is an error saying a file is missing to to use apt-file like this;

Code: [Select]

reaver@travella:~$ apt-file search khrplatform.h
emscripten: /usr/share/emscripten/system/include/KHR/khrplatform.h
libegl1-mesa-dev: /usr/include/KHR/khrplatform.h
libogre-1.9-dev: /usr/include/OGRE/RenderSystems/GLES2/KHR/khrplatform.h
libsdl2-dev: /usr/include/SDL2/SDL_opengles2_khrplatform.h
python-kivy: /usr/lib/python2.7/dist-packages/kivy/graphics/khrplatform.h
python3-kivy: /usr/lib/python3/dist-packages/kivy/graphics/khrplatform.h
thunderbird-dev: /usr/include/thunderbird/angle/KHR/khrplatform.h

Then you can see which file it is after, and which package it belongs to. So now you can use; 

Code: [Select]

sudo apt-get install libegl1-mesa-dev

There is a problem with the package, the dependency in the CONTROL file is set to libcurl3, but it should be libcurl4. The two cannot be installed together so if you, apt-get -f install some other packages will get kicked out. I have fixed the package and repackaged it. Here is a link to it.
