Kf6-kiowidgets "DEVEL"

Help
1

Fedora doesn’t offer a kf6-kio-widgets-devel, only the kf6-kio-widgets. I’ve been beating my head trying to get a simple script to compile. it needs.

Could not find a package configuration file provided by “KF6KIOWidgets”
with any of the following names:

KF6KIOWidgetsConfig.cmake
kf6kiowidgets-config.cmake

I compiled KIO from source, but still can’t find these devel files.

Help!

Hi! For what it’s worth, if Fedora packaging is potentially the question, you’re likely to get the best responses at the Fedora Discussion forums: https://discussion.fedoraproject.org/

In case there’s a KDE issue to tackle, though, what script are you trying to run and from what source?

this has been a series of rabbit holes with no end. I simply wanted to install a thumbnail generator for STL, 3mf files (within dolphin). AI has been a great bit of help, but fedora’s implementation of KDE has presented numerous roadblocks. Long story short I now have a python script that takes parameters and generates thumbnails. and it works fine from the command line. After many hours of trying to get this script working under KDE, I gave up on this approach. AI suggested that we needed to go down the path of a compiled option that fit KDE’s api model. The code would call my script. However each iteration and error msg sent me deeper. Fedora seems to have some “incomplete” installation of KDE (I guess they want to push GNOME, which I’ll never understand why!). My most recent hurdle was the above error message. Could not find a package configuration file provided by “KF6KIOWidgets”
with any of the following names:

KF6KIOWidgetsConfig.cmake
kf6kiowidgets-config.cmake

It appears these dev cmake files are part of the widges-devel package, which fedora doesn’t have. OK, go back a few steps then and compile the necssary src packages, however I can’t figure out how to get KIO to create (or offer) these. This is likely why there’s not a devel rpm. So I thought I’d run it up the source (KDE dot org).
