Seriously dude, did you read my mail ? I gave you the link:

Here a partial carbon copy :

When trying to compile I get:


make -C extra_src/panel QTDIR=/usr/share/qt3
make[1]: Entering directory

I had to install:



libdevel/libxxf86misc-dev which provides:
usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/xf86misc.h


and


libdevel/libxxf86vm-dev which provides:
usr/X11R6/include/X11/extensions/xf86vmode.h


Maybe someone could update the wiki and specify those package are required.


sudo apt-get install libxxf86misc-dev libxxf86vm-dev
