How to install Kiba Dock on Karmic and Lucid

Just managed to install kiba dock on my system today. I wanted to see what the hype was all about. I followed this guide on ubuntu-forums.

make sure you have compiz running before you install kiba dock.


1. sudo apt-get remove automake1.4

2. sudo apt-get install fakeroot automake1.9 build-essential libpango1.0-dev libgtk2.0-dev libgconf2-dev libglitz-glx1-dev librsvg2-dev libglade2-dev libxcomposite-dev subversion libtool libgtop2-dev python-gtk2-dev libgnome-menu-dev libgnomeui-dev libgnomevfs2-dev intltool libxml2-dev libglitz1-dev libcairo2 libdbus-1-dev libgtop2-7 libgnomevfs2-0 libgnomeui-0 librsvg2-2 python-feedparser libasound2-dev libsdl1.2-dev libdbus-glib-1-dev libgstreamer-plugins-base0.10-dev libgstreamer0.10-dev libgstreamer0.10-0 pidgin-dev libpurple-dev

3. svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/akamaru/ akamaru

4. svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-dock/ kiba-dock

5. svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-plugins/ kiba-plugins

6. svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-dbus-plugins/ kiba-dbus-plugins

7. svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-gaim-plugin kiba-gaim-plugin

8. svn co https://kibadock.svn.sourceforge.net/svnroot/kibadock/trunk/kiba-ephy-extension kiba-ephy-extension

9. cd kiba-dock

10. svn update -r 602 *

Follow this if you have 32 bit

cd akamaru/
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr
sudo make install
cd ..

cd kiba-dock/
./autogen.sh
sudo make install
cd ..

cd kiba-plugins/
./autogen.sh
sudo make install
cd ..

cd kiba-dbus-plugins/
./autogen.sh
sudo make install
cd ..

Follow this if you have 64 bit

cd akamaru/
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --exec-prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
sudo make install
cd ..

cd kiba-dock/
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
sudo make install
cd ..

cd kiba-plugins/
CC="gcc -fPIC" ./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
sudo make install
cd ..

cd kiba-dbus-plugins/
./autogen.sh --prefix=/usr --libdir=/usr/lib64
sudo make install
cd ..


Now add it to the startup applications

Go to System -> Preferences -> Startup Applications and add.

Name = Kiba Dock

Command = kiba-dock

Troubleshooting:

If you are getting compilation errors, then automake is probably causing problems. You need to gedit configuration.in or configuration.ac and change all the AC_SUBST("$WHATEVER") to AC_SUBST(WHATEVER)

    Did start from scratch, but same error … it seems to be related to some header in /kiba-dock/include.

    I have tried so many times now , it does not work. how can i fix it?

    No offense, but the written command line could use some detail in regard to spacing. It was difficult to tell whether 2 command where suppose to run at once or separate. Maybe would be helpful if you would have hit enter and copy and pasted “sudo apt-get install program” for each individual command instead of a simple space. I had the most trouble towards the 64 bit part were you had the commands:
    “cd akamaru/
    ./autogen.sh –prefix=/usr –exec-prefix=/usr –libdir=/usr/lib64
    sudo make install
    cd ..”
    My terminal didn’t seem to respond well to this copy and paste command. I wish someone would do a video tutorial on how to install this dock as the written stuff can be interpreted differently for some people.
