Thanks Scott,
No worries :-)mmm, developer should include rudimentary script to check for dependancies....
I was missing kdelibs5-dev, my bad. :)
Before using you need to create a database [*2]
I can't use apt-file search FindKDE4Internal.cmake, since I don't have
Contents-i386.gz in my local squeeze repo.
# apt-file updateI prefer ksnapshot for screenscrapes as I usually edit them in GIMP, for video I use istanbul and XVidCap.
Just directly install
kdelibs5-dev. Now the program looks pretty well, I can capture my
screen for several minutes & saved it. This program is awesome.
I 'assume' it means what it says - a quick scan of the source shows it just does a series of screenscrapes[*1], overlaying an image of a cursor onto each one - though it does it in a very round-about-and-complicated manner. It does work though, perhaps not as intuitively as it could. I'd prefer if I could nominate an area of the screen instead of just resolution tied to a particular window.
Maybe later I will try precompiled .deb.
Have you use it, Scott? Do you have any idea about "cursor image not
found" message after run the skreener?
Screenscrapes don't include the cursor - I tried the precompiled deb package and noticed that the cursor shown in the scrapes is *not* the one I actually use - so I replaced the image of a cursor used by skreener with one of my actual image (using the original cursor image as a template). Problem solved. So I'm 'assuming' your compile either didn't include, the path, or, the actual image (of the cursor).
Check to see if exists:-
/usr/share/kde4/apps/skreener/cursors/cursor.png
If it's missing, create the directory and insert the attached image there. You should also check your build logs for errors related to this.

You've send this email to me only - which is OK, but it doesn't help anyone searching for an answer to the same question.
And while I'm bitching ;-p
I prefer, as does much of the list, if posters don't top post or use html.
Cheers
