I've xpenguins installe in /usr, it's works well. Your applet is compiled, installed and aded to the panel, but i don't see it! I see only the applet's "hand".It doesn't depend on the installation method: both RPM and compiling give me the same result. What it means?

I ran ./configure with absolutely no problems. It then told me to run make.
So, I typed make.
I got this:
'make: *** No rule to make target `../config.status', needed by `Makefile'. Stop.
I tried running with -b and -k.. No luck... -k really freaks out:

[root@ddal0213 Applet]# make -k
make: *** No rule to make target `../config.status', needed by `Makefile'.
make: Failed to remake makefile `Makefile'.

Sorry for the long post... I'm sure there's some sort of rule about that, that I don't know.

cool applet ;-) with the worms 8-)

where do you guys get all those themes from? I only have two different size penguins, ol' Gates, a bunch of turtles, and afair that's pretty much it. No worms, no simpsons. standard debian package from unstable

here
http://xpenguins.seul.org/

you just have to untar this file into your config dir (usually /usr/share/xpenguins/)
http://xpenguins.seul.org/xpenguins_themes-1.0.tar.gz

could it be, that the tar-file contains the sources two times?

yes they did thx,
i posted a correct archive (shoudln't have cause any pb though).

Hi there, it looks like a nice applet but i got
this error during compiling (Slackware 10.1, KDE 3.4.2, qt-3.3.3-i486-3):

thanks bye

try with the following archive
i might have spotted what's wrong.
(but you will probably get some errors again)

http://wse.free.fr/xpenguinsapplet-0.1.test.tar.gz

Nice applet, thanks
