You need to install libxfce4windowing first.

Then use:

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/$(uname -m)-linux-gnu
make && make install

...to get the files and libraries in the right place for debian.

See: https://forum.xfce.org/viewtopic.php?id=17864.

Is dbus installed and set up properly?

env | grep DBUS_SESSION_BUS_ADDRESS
echo $DISPLAY

Added later 54 min 37 s:
See: https://gitlab.xfce.org/xfce/xfconf/-/issues/5

Maybe just continue on.

Also, for libxfce4util, you also need to use the "--enable-introspection" parameter.

You need the -dev package. Look for something like gobject-introspection-dev.

If it helps, it is possible on Debian 13. (I will try on 12 later.) I've been using the MXLinux deb package for three years, but noticed recently it was not the latest version (0.4.1, and 0.4.3 came out recently) so decided to build the new release.

The configure step required a boat load of packages and dependencies to be installed, not always the missing items but containing them, so a bit of research was required to find the package containing the missing item. Here is a list if it helps anybody.

Install: pkgconf:amd64 (1.8.1-4, automatic), pkg-config:amd64 (1.8.1-4), pkgconf-bin:amd64 (1.8.1-4, automatic), libpkgconf3:amd64 (1.8.1-4, automatic)

make and make install ran successfully but the plugin did not appear, so I tried

./configure --prefix=/usr --libexecdir=/usr/lib/$(uname -m)-linux-gnu

from this thread, but again no luck.

I noticed that the plugin was in

/usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/

but on its own, and guessed that it was in the wrong place. This post seemed to confirm that idea:

https://unix.stackexchange.com/question … fce-plugin

In the end I moved libdocklike.la and libdocklike.so from

/usr/lib/xfce4/panel/plugins/

to

/usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/

and docklike.desktop from

/usr/local/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/

to

/usr/share/xfce4/panel/plugins/

which seem to be the correct location in Debian, as the plugin appeared and is working now.

I'm not really sure if the locations I found the files in were the result of the configure step with or without --prefix=/usr. Maybe they exist in more than one place.

Is there a better method in Debian, that doesn't involve moving files? If there is, I'll try it in Bookworm later.

Anyway, it is possible to install Docklike in Debian, even if involves a bit of a hack.

Cheers!

PS: Hidden Settings require a logout/login to take effect, for anybody wondering.

It works for me on bookworm, so I'm not sure what's happening with your system.

Looking at the build log (which you can get access to via instructions https://buildd.debian.org/status/logs.p … &suite=sid), it looks like there are some additional required dependencies to build this package include (that are not listed above in your apt install commands):

pkgconf
gir1.2-gtk-3.0-dev
gir1.2-gobject-2.0-dev
gettext

...though they may be installed in your system as dependencies.

Can you check if these are installed on your system?

You'r link is for SID and not Bookworm , can you confirm it's work for Bookworm .

At the bottom of that page, it shows you how to get the build logs:

Install getbuildlog: sudo apt install devscripts
Download latest libxfce4ui amd64 build log: getbuildlog libxfce4ui "last" amd64
Download all libxfce4ui amd64 build logs: getbuildlog libxfce4ui "" amd64
Download latest libxfce4ui build logs: getbuildlog libxfce4ui last
