Searching on the Net for that "boost-devel" package I found tha in Ubuntu something named "libboost-dev" is available.

So I installed it and "automagically" it compiled with any errors nor warnings.

Thanks for the info.

It could be very useful to include this kind of dependencies anywhere in the web page of the project.

Thanks one more time.

Hello

I'm very interested in this plasmoid because is something pretty awesome that KDE lacks by default and it seems very simple and powerful at the same time.

But for some reason it fails to compile in my Kubuntu 12.04 on the laptop and on the desktop computer as well.

It throws an error in the "make" step which says:

"
[ 28%] Building CXX object src/CMakeFiles/plasma_applet_google_calendar.dir/plasma_applet_google_calendar_automoc.o

"

Not being an expert and have been installed all kde "-dev" packages that I could think could be required it doesn't work. I'm lost.

If anyone could help me to compile this I would be very happy. Thanks

Kinda late, but anyway: you need the boost dev libs. Should be boost-dev or similar in ubuntu

Plasma crashes when I try to drop the plasmoid on the desktop. Here is the trace with plasmoidviewer (plasmoid compiled with Debug flag)

$ plasmoidviewer plasma_google_calendar
ASSERT failure in QList<T>::at: "index out of range", file /usr/include/QtCore/qlist.h, line 469
KCrash: Application 'plasmoidviewer' crashing...

I am running arch linux with kde 4.8.2. Do you have any idea what is wrong?

What is the difference to the eventlist-plasmoid?

Very slick plasmoid overall, I already started using it. To improve usage in vertically-constrained spaces (such as 16:10 monitors), would you be able to make it resizable vertically, which is not possible? Thanks!

Hi,
I changed some things in resizing. Can you try the new version and let me know if it's ok or if it's at least better?

It's better than before (good enough to be put on my desktop) thanks. It would be nice if it could be still resized a little more vertically, though.

I don't understand exactly what you mean. If you can describe it closer I will try do something with it. Thanks

Here's are the steps to show the problem:

1. Add the calendar to the desktop
2. Reduce the height of the plasmoid using the handle
3. It is not possible to reduce the height past a certain point (very close to the default height)

In other words, the minimum height of the plasmoid is somewhat large and you cannot reduce it below that.
