Build failed: No rule to make target '/org.kde.kwin.Effects.xml', needed by 'src/kcm

[ghost]

Hey, just tried building this and it failed. I'm on KDE Neon (plasma 5.14.4). Any ideas?

Also, this is minor but the build instructions should say to cd into kwin-effects-yaml after git clone, before creating the build folder

Thanks

Do you have org.kde.kwin.Effects.xml in /usr/share/dbus-1/interfaces?

[ghost]

Yep, it's in there

Builds on Launchpad were failing earlier and I fixed this problem installing libdbus-1-dev

That did the trick, thanks! Just had to rerun cmake and everything else went smoothly.

Cool, I'll add libdbus-1-dev to install prerequisites for Ubuntu.
