I was searching themes for my TDE install and found Crystal:

http://kde-look.org/content/show.php/Crystal?content=13969

It's source so I tried to set it up but the configure script doesn't generate a Makefile. I get this error at the end:

checking for KDE... configure: error: in the prefix, you've chosen, are no KDE headers installed. This will fail. So, check this please and use another prefix!

I'm not sure what is being referred to by "KDE prefixes" nor how to fix it. I've been using TDE for a while and I'd like to contribute but I'm new to software engineering and I have no idea where to start when dealing with a project as big as TDE. But I would like to contribute by fixing this problem but I'm not sure how to go about it. Any help which can lead me in the right direction will be appreciated.

Build it as follows:

## Source the QT and KDE profile [ "$QTDIR" = "" ] && . /etc/profile.d/tqt3.sh [ "$TDEDIR" = "" ] && . /etc/profile.d/trinity.sh

cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname//tde-}

## "Copying system libtool files...." cp /usr/share/aclocal/libtool.m4 ./admin/libtool.m4.in cp /usr/share/libtool/config/ltmain.sh ./admin

## "Running make -f admin/Makefile.common ...." make -f admin/Makefile.common

## configure ./configure --prefix=${TDEDIR} \ --prefix=${TDEDIR} \ --with-qt-dir=${QTDIR} \ --with-qt-includes=${QTDIR}/include \ --with-qt-libraries=${QTDIR}/lib \ --with-extra-includes="/usr/include/tqt:/usr/include/tqt/Qt" \ --with-extra-libs="${TDEDIR}/lib:${TDEDIR}/lib/trinity" \ --sysconfdir=${TDEDIR}/etc \ --localstatedir=/var

## make make

## install make -j1 install

You are building with the tarball from TDE right? Not the one from KDE.org? Trinity already provides the crystal package -- I use it as my default window decorations. Once you get it built, use the following as you twincrystalrc:

[General] ActiveBlur=0 ActiveFrame=1 ActiveInline=1 ActiveMode=0 ActiveShade=25 ActiveUserdefined=false ActiveUserdefinedPicture= AnimateHover=true Borderwidth=5 ButtonColor=44,76,105 ButtonColor2=78,136,187 ButtonColor3=100,175,241 ButtonTheme=0 CaptionTooltip=true CloseColor=106,12,12 CloseColor2=211,24,24 CloseColor3=253,29,29 DrawCaption=true EnableTransparency=true FrameColor1=143,187,223 FrameColor2=30,64,92 HoverEffect=true InactiveBlur=0 InactiveFrame=1 InactiveInline=1 InactiveMode=2 InactiveShade=-20 InactiveUserdefined=false InactiveUserdefinedPicture= InlineColor1=118,154,183 InlineColor2=118,154,183 LogoActive=true LogoAlignment=1 LogoDistance=0 LogoFile= LogoStretch=0 MaxColor=40,111,49 MaxColor2=69,189,83 MaxColor3=87,239,105 MenuImage=true MinColor=108,102,30 MinColor2=215,202,61 MinColor3=253,238,71 OverlayFileActive= OverlayFileInactive= OverlayModeActive=2 OverlayModeInactive=3 RepaintMode=1 RepaintTime=200 RoundCorners=15 TextShadow=true TintButtons=true TitleAlignment=AlignHCenter Titlebarheight=20 TrackDesktop=false WheelTask=false

I didn't know there was a TDE tarball for Crystal. I don't know where to find it.

Well,

First, what desktop are you trying to build it in? kde3, Trinity 3.5.13, Trinity R14? It makes a difference. Second, I misspoke. I build tarballs from the git tree to build twin-style-crystal on Trinity. If you are building on Trinity, just check out crystal from the git tree:

git clone http://scm.trinitydesktop.org/scm/git/twin-style-crystal

Then create a tarball to build from to prevent screwing up the code in the crystal directory:

cd to wherever you cloned twin-style-crystal tar --exclude='.git*' -czf twin-style-crystal.tar.gz twin-style-crystal

Then build it on you computer running Trinity.

If your are using KDE3, then just use the kde-look.org tarball and build it on your box running KDE3.
