Can not install mouse gestures _Input Actions_ on Fedora 42.

After i`ve installed gestures, i`ve found file  
/usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/kwin/effects/plugins/kwin\_gestures.so

but file  
/usr/lib64/qt6/plugins/kwin/effects/configs/inputactions\_kwin\_kcm.so  
wasn`t created

Could you help me to resolve this issue? Thanks a lot

How odd. They’re built together and installed together. How did you install, build from source? There might be something useful in the output from that.

I just realised something and it might be the problem. These are the instructions from the mouse gestures branch:

```auto
git clone https://github.com/taj-ny/InputActions
cd InputActions
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make
sudo make install

```

But these are just branched from the normal instructions. I think you’ll need to switch to the correct branch to try mouse gestures, which would be like so (note the added command on the third line):

```auto
git clone https://github.com/taj-ny/InputActions
cd InputActions
git switch mouse-gestures
mkdir build
cd build
cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr
make
sudo make install

```

Thanks a lot) I`m much appreciated for your help. May be do you have correct yaml config file?

Well there are two problems there, maybe even three, I don’t know:

1. I have weird bindings for my mouse so some of my gestures will make no sense
2. I think the syntax _just_ changed, in the past hours, as new commits were made. You may want to rebuild in a few hours when taj-ny is done committing new hotness.
3. I don’t know if the stroke hashes are portable. As in, when you use the kcm to record a stroke, it gives you a hash which you put in the config file… but I don’t know if that hash will work the same on your machine if I recorded it here?

There are some very good examples and explanations on the github: [InputActions/docs/index.md at mouse-gestures · taj-ny/InputActions · GitHub](https://github.com/taj-ny/InputActions/blob/mouse-gestures/docs/index.md)

But if you get stuck you can let me know and I should be able to help.
