May I complain again ? The 2.3.0~1 version of launchpad has been packaged under the rc1 version... Would it be a problem to release it as a complete new version ?

Hello,

I will update our weekly ppa tonight or a bit later, be patient

I guess you're using Linux Mint and you don't use the correct name (have a look to our wiki )
Simply launch this command to resolve this bug:
sudo sed -i 's/julia cairo-dock/maverick cairo-dock/g' /etc/apt/sources.list
and remove this repository ppa:cairo-dock-team/ppa

Ah ! I think I found a mistake in the plugin's CMakeLists.txt !
It's about the mono interface for DBus. It looks like if:
- you have mono (it looks for the "gmcs" program)
- you DON'T have all of the following packages: glib-sharp-2.0 ndesk-dbus-1.0 ndesk-dbus-glib-1.0

Then the compilation of mono is still activated, but it will fail. And it will not see that it failed to compile, so it will simply fail when doing make install.

I don't have access to bzr right now, but the fix would to replace:
#find_package (Mono)
find_program (GMCS_EXECUTABLE gmcs)
if ("${GMCS_EXECUTABLE}" STREQUAL "" OR NOT EXISTS ${GMCS_EXECUTABLE})
    message (STATUS "Could not find Mono compiler gmcs, won't build Mono interface.")
    set (with_mono "no")
else()
    set (MONO_FOUND "TRUE")
    pkg_check_modules (MONO_PACKAGE glib-sharp-2.0 ndesk-dbus-1.0 ndesk-dbus-glib-1.0)
    if ("${MONO_PACKAGE_FOUND}" STREQUAL "")
        message (STATUS "Could not find glib-sharp-2.0, ndesk-dbus-1.0 or ndesk-dbus-glib-1.0; won't be built Mono interface.")
        set (with_mono "no")
    else()
        set (with_mono "yes")
    endif()
endif()


with:
#find_package (Mono)
find_program (GMCS_EXECUTABLE gmcs)
if ("${GMCS_EXECUTABLE}" STREQUAL "" OR NOT EXISTS ${GMCS_EXECUTABLE})
    message (STATUS "Could not find Mono compiler gmcs, won't build Mono interface.")
    set (with_mono "no")
else()
    pkg_check_modules (MONO_PACKAGE glib-sharp-2.0 ndesk-dbus-1.0 ndesk-dbus-glib-1.0)
    if ("${MONO_PACKAGE_FOUND}" STREQUAL "")
        message (STATUS "Could not find glib-sharp-2.0, ndesk-dbus-1.0 or ndesk-dbus-glib-1.0; won't be built Mono interface.")
        set (with_mono "no")
    else()
        set (with_mono "yes")
        set (MONO_FOUND "TRUE")
    endif()
endif()


PS: I didn't test this patch
