Building error on KDE 5.27.10: libkwin.so.5 library not found, exiting... #115

I am trying to upgrade from version 2.2.0 (that I installed last week) to 2.2.1 on KDE 5.27.10 and I' m receiving the following error:

Looking for libkwin.so.5 location...
libkwin.so.5 library not found, exiting...

I have read in the changelog that an installer script which makes a symlink to libkwin.so.5 was introduced, but apparently it doesn't work on my setup. Any idea? Thank you!

Try to find libkwin.so.5 file manually and make a symlink named libkwin.so to it in the same directory. After that you can install like in previous versions.

Thank you for your answer. I have found libkwin.so.5 in /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/ but in that directory libkwin.so is already there and it's already pointing to libkwin.so.5 . Any suggestion? Thank you very much again

Then you can build with cmake and install: mkdir build; cd build cmake ../ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr make -j$(nproc) sudo make install

Also, before installing this version, use the uninstall script to remove the previous one.

It did work. I thought I had to use the install script. Thank you
