Thank you Wapush!

I Downloaded the tarbz2, unpack, cd to directory created, ./configure, make and...

marcelo@linux:~/Descargas/xfce4-timer-plugin-0.6$ make
make: *** No se especificó ningún objetivo y no se encontró ningún makefile.  Alto.
marcelo@linux:~/Descargas/xfce4-timer-plugin-0.6$

In English: Make: *** There is no specified purpose and not found any makefile. Stop.

In the README file...

Timer plugin for XFCE 4.4

You need XFCE 4.4 for this plugin.

Nothing to describe really. Use the options menu to add timers. You can choose $
countdown periods or alarms at certain times. Only one of them can be run at a $

As usual, you can use

./configure
make
make install

to install the plugin.

What's wrong?

Re: Applet similar to "timer-applet" for xfce?

First, a few dependencies are required to compile and install it: xfce4-panel-dev and libxml-parser-perl(this is not indicated in the Readme file), which should be available in your OS repositories(maybe xfce4-timer-plugin too ?).

Then, I have personally installed it this way:

./configure --prefix=/usr

make

make install

"make install" as root, or by using sudo, depending on your configuration and distro.

PS: Could you edit your previous message and remove the e-mail address, to avoid spam from being sent to the dev of the timer plugin? Thanks !
