[SOLVED] Error compiling xfce4-kbdleds-plugin

Hi, I've downloaded xfce4-kbdleds-plugin sources in my Linux Mint Sarah XFCE4 from: http://goodies.xfce.org/projects/panel- … eds-plugin.

First I've added missing packets such as intltool, libxfce4ui-1-dev required during compiling, but now I receive the following error:

checking for libxfce4panel-1.0 >= 4.6.0... not found
*** The required package libxfce4panel-1.0 was not found on your system.
*** Please install libxfce4panel-1.0 (atleast version 4.6.0) or adjust
*** the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
*** installed the package in a nonstandard prefix so that
*** pkg-config is able to find it.

In /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu I've found:

libxfce4panel-1.0.so.4 -> libxfce4panel-1.0.so.4.0.0
libxfce4panel-1.0.so.4.0.0

So I've created a symlink libxfce4panel-1.0 and export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/, also tried this command
pkg-config --variable pc_path pkg-config

which says:
/usr/local/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/local/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/local/share/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/pkgconfig:/usr/lib/pkgconfig:/usr/share/pkgconfig

then recompiling from source with:
./configure --prefix=/usr

still no success, same error.

I suppose that libxfce4panel-1.0.so.4.0.0 isn't the correct version.
Is it possible to resolve the problem and successfully compile the plugin?

Thanks.

You need the panel dev libraries. Install "xfce4-panel-dev" and you should be good to go.
