Hey Guys,
I have a problem with some things…
I followed the guide, and then ran into some problems, but then googled it, and got some answers, yet I still have one problem…
Where above, it says you have to cd awn-extras/awn-applets/awn-core-applets/ I get the response
me@me-desktop:~$ cd awn-extras/awn-applets/awn-core-applets/
bash: cd: awn-extras/awn-applets/awn-core-applets/: No such file or directory
I also just searched my awn folders, but cannot find awn-core-applets…
Please help me…
Thanks,
Christiaan
just ran into that problem as well, it should be:
cd awn-extras/awn-applets/awn-extras-applets/
Thanks…i got it working! Thanks! 😉
does bzr needs extra config to pass through a proxy? because bzr co htt… stands on the terminal and does nothing

Consider adjusting the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable if you
installed software in a non-standard prefix.
Alternatively, you may set the environment variables DEPS_CFLAGS
and DEPS_LIBS to avoid the need to call pkg-config.
See the pkg-config man page for more details.

I get the following error when trying to install the applets… i installed all the dependencies which were stated above, any solutions? thanks! 🙂
try to run the following command
sudo apt-get -f install
I have exactly the same problem and output as ryanaivey21. The sudo apt-get -f install does not solve the problem. Anyone an idea what this might be?
Sorry, I left out a line in the previous post. These two lines should be entered into the CLI:
sudo ln -s /usr/local/lib/libawn.so.0 /usr/lib/libawn.so.0
sudo apt-get install libsexy-dev libnotify-dev libvte-dev
anyone not finding target can
cd avant-window-navigator
then
./configure
then
sudo make install
I got the following problem. Did i do something wrong?
checking pkg-config is at least version 0.9.0… yes
