One more thing is that, it seems that Minbar is created to comply with Gnome environment. Because I do not see any notifer to warn me that prayer time has come. Only athan audio warns me in KDE. I have not seen all the source code yet. But since I am a KDE users, notifier is a must.

It is actually simple to use notifier in KDE. The command line is knotify. Please explore more to this command to use it in Minbar.

I would be nice if Minbar support KDE environment too. Thanks. may Allah give you strength to continue this project and bless you.

That is fine. Installed (auto removable) means that libitl0 was installed because of Minbar and would bet set to be auto removed when Minbar is removed. Minbar is “local” because you installed it from a .deb. In brief, there is nothing to worry about :)

Ichsan: That is excellent, thank you . I’ll rectify that in the next version.

—
Both minbar and libitl0 appear in synaptic in two statuses “Installed (auto removable)” and “Installed (local or obsolete)”, it is fine for the second one but why it appear in the first one ?

I honestly haven’t tried Minbar on desktops other than GNOME, but I don’t see why it shouldn’t be able to run on any desktop that supports tray icons.

muaz@muaz-desktop:~$ minbar
One element could not be created
muaz@muaz-desktop:~$

Is there any support for desktops other than GNOME?

Thanks,
Wassalaamu’alaikum

May Allah bless you. Amiin

Open source islamic products is one of the greatest things to happen in a long time.

May Allah bless you and continue to bless and guide your work.

You should bear in mind that Minbar has been brought to you not only by me. Abderrahim Kitouni did a lot of work and development, so did Adnene and the translators.

Djihed:
Minbar 0.2 is perfect, all the features we wanted where added. Thanks Djihed for giving us this software. Inshalla one day i will be good at programming so I can help with all these great islamic programming projects.

May Allah bless you. Amiiin.

I was have a same problem like elbrus did. I try to make like your sugestion, try this first:

LDFLAGS=”-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker” make

If that fails, try:

LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/local/lib/itl -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker /usr/local/lib/itl” make

But its still not work. I try this (I was set itllibs to /usr/lib/itl) :

./configure LDFLAGS=”-L/usr/lib/itl -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker /usr/lib/itl”

And it’s work.

At this stage I am not sure what is causing this. I do blame it on libitl’s archaic build system. if you send me your final “Makefile” from your Minbar directory, I may try to piece together a hack for you.

Thanks for your reply. I really appreciate you helping me.

Here is what i did. I checked the contents of /usr/local/lib/itl …. it contains the following 3 files:
libitl.so@, libitl.so@, libitl.so.0.0.6*

Then i did /configure successfully… then tried both make commands you posted. But in both cases I’m still getting the exact same make error about “/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -litl”.

I also have the itools installed if it affects things… ical, idate, ipraytime and ireminder.

Try this first:

LDFLAGS="-Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker" make

If that fails, try:

LDFLAGS="-L/usr/local/lib/itl -Xlinker -rpath -Xlinker /usr/local/lib/itl" make

Make sure you change /usr/local/lib/itl to the appropriate location on your computer.

It seems its still asking about libitl… i don’t see why it doesn’t find it installed.
