Compiling Server Status Widget on Kubuntu 12.04

Recently I found a cool little widget for KDE4 called Server Status. It allows you to monitor systems, servers, or anything else with an IP address or hostname. I had some issues getting it to compile under Kubuntu 12.04 so I thought I'd leave some documentation here in case anyone else runs into the same issues I did.

Here are the steps to get it compiled and working:

git clone git://gitorious.org/serverstatuswidget/serverstatuswidget.git

cd /serverstatuswidget

sudo apt-get install build-essential libqt4-core qt4-qmake libqt4-dev libqt4-gui kdelibs5-dev

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix)

sudo make

sudo make install
