I tried to compile Moodin and I got the following error thememoodin.h:20:25: themeengine.h: No such file or directory thememoodin.h:21:24: objkstheme.h: No such file or directory I tried to emerge ksplashml and now I have a themeengine.h in a directory but it still doesn't work Thanks

I love this theme. Also have the bootsplash too. Very nice.

Why cant i find the moodin engine already in gentoo portage?!? I added this to my portage overlay and it compiled with no problems... ...i had already spent a few hours wondering why my gentoo system would only allow me to use the default KDE splash screens... then I found this and now everything works... Including the splash screens within this ebuild!!! Need this in the official portage tree ASAP!!! Good work :)

I used the command you wrote. "su -c 'source /etc/make.conf; cd $PORTDIR_OVERLAY && mkdir -p x11-themes/ksplash-engine-moodin/ && cd x11-themes/ksplash-engine-moodin/ && wget "http://kdelook.org/content/download.php?content=25927&id=1" -O ksplash-engine-moodin-0.4.2.ebuild && ebuild ksplash-engine-moodin-0.4.2.ebuild digest && emerge -a ksplash-engine-moodin ' " and I got this error: 19:23:03 (1.29 MB/s) - `ksplash-engine-moodin-0.4.2.ebuild' saved [680/680] !!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'x11-themes/ksplash-engine-moodin-0.4.2' not specified: !!!

I think you don't have a PORTDIR_OVERLAY define in your make.conf.. see this howto and try again: http://gentoo-wiki.com/HOWTO_Installing_3rd_Party_Ebuilds

Nice one - however I don't use arts - it's a good idea to check for things like this, as the configure will fail when "--without-arts" is not present. This modification to the ebuild fixes the problem.

src_compile()
{ local myconf="$(use_with arts)"
econf --prefix=${KDEDIR} ${myconf} || die
emake || die
}

Hey fellows! really great work! but.. i cannot apply the whole theme, the only thing that works is the kde-splash itself. i merged everything on a gentoo-sys, without any errors. But i ain't got 'kdmtheme'.. is this a tool that has to be installed especially?

Cannot use the deb package for Kubuntu. Tried to compile from source and stuck at Qt. Eventhough I installed libqt-dev and libqt-headers, and tweaked with configure file? still telling me libqt is not installed. May continue trying the other day or just wait for the Kubuntu/Ubuntu package.

I really love this engine. I did find a bug in the ebuild. S=${WORKDIR}/ksplash-engine-moodin Above had to be changed to: S=${WORKDIR}/moodin

running ebuild ksplash-engine-moodin-0.4.1.ebuild digest brings the following error !!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'portage/ksplash-engine-moodin-0.4.1' not specified: !!! None !!! aux_get(): ebuild path for 'portage/ksplash-engine-moodin-0.4.1' not specified: !!! None doebuild(): aux_get() error reading portage/ksplash-engine-moodin-0.4.1; aborting. Anyone know what might be at fault?

NM. I found that I had to put the .ebuild in a sub-directory ksplash-engine-moodin

i get this error when i try to emerge moodinKDE: Calculating dependencies - emerge: there are no ebuilds to satisfy "~kde-base/kdelibs-0.4.1". the package is in /usr/local/portage/kde-base/moodinKDE i also tried /usr/portage/kde-base/moodinKDE the same

coutts99

I solved this by renaming the ebuild to moondinKDE-3.4.1.ebuild and also renaming the ksplash-engine-moodin_0.4.1.tar.gz to ksplash-engine-moodin_3.4.1.tar.gz

hi, i really like moodin engine, looks great but i have a 1280x800 widescreen laptop and the background image doesn't seem to adapt. is it normal? if so, what's the default background resolution?

moodwrod

the background should fit your desktop resolution. if i try it out at my own pc it works. which theme are you using? is it the same with all themes?

moodwrod

depending on screenshot i think you like the FingerPrint theme?! :) well, thanks for this gentoo ebuild!

rok79

Yes I like it.. it is cool.. :)
