Re: MacOS Dashboard Widgets

Maybe it's in playground. I also use trunk and don't habe dashboard widgets, but I think I need the webapplet from playground. The problem is, that there is a patch that needs to be applied to webkit to get the webapplet compiled. I'm trying to build qt-copy with that patch at the moment.

I was partially successful. I can now add dashboard widgets, but when I add them to the desktop I get the following error
-----
This object could not be created for the following reason:
Could not open the dashboard_com.Mike.widget.ChuckNorrisFacts package required for the ChuckNorrisFacts widget.

Hmmmm, at least a step in the right direction.
So you compiled /trunk/playground/base/plasma/applets/webapplet/? Where did you get the patch for qt-copy?
I would like to try it myself.

I compiled the whole playground/base/plasma, except the worldclock, because it fails to build.
The patch is in the webapplet directory, it's contents.diff. It adds the contentsSize() function to the webframe class.
Good luck

Didn't work for me. For some reason compiling of kdebase failed. Seems, that i have to hope that qt-work will be updated soon.

The new version of qt-copy solved all my problems: after compiling the new qt-copy, kdebase and playground/*/plasma i can now add working Dashboard Widgets to Plasma.
Thanks for your help!
