Help with compiling a panel applet

[suse_tpx60s]

I’m trying to install the gnome panel applet to monitor the HDAPS on my Thinkpad.
The readme says the following.

(1) Compile the applet using the following command line -

gcc $(pkg-config --cflags --libs libpanelapplet-2.0) -o gnome-hdaps-applet gnome-hdaps-applet.c

(2) Copy the compiled gnome-hdaps-applet file to “/usr/bin/”

(3) Copy the .png files to a new directory “/usr/share/pixmaps/gnome-hdaps-applet/”

(4) Copy the GNOME_HDAPS_StatusApplet.server file to “/usr/lib/bonobo/servers/”

(5) Restart GNOME and you should find the “HDAPS Status” applet in the “Add to Panel” dialog
When I run the compile command I ge tthe following errors:

Package libpanelapplet-2.0 was not found in the pkg-config search path.
Perhaps you should add the directory containing `libpanelapplet-2.0.pc'
to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable
No package 'libpanelapplet-2.0' found

gnome-hdaps-applet.c:107: error: expected declaration specifiers or ‘...’ before ‘(’ token
gnome-hdaps-applet.c:102: warning: data definition has no type or storage class

I’m guessing the package libpanelapplet-2.0 has probably changed name due to a newer version. Where would that package be located so I can check and how would I add the path to the PKG_CONFIG_PATH environment variable?

Hi
You need to install the relevant devel package, in this case
gnome-panel-devel.

Thanks for that. I’ll give that a try when I get a chance in the next few days.
