configuration

building and installing

Install/update build dependencies.
Arch:
sudo pacman -Sy cmake base-devel

Debian/Ubuntu and its derivatives:
sudo apt install cmake build-essential lxpanel-dev

If you are a cool kid not using the above distros, you probably know how to install the above development packages for your distro!

Build with CMake
cmake -S . -B build
cmake --build build

Find the plugins location:
Usually:
/usr/lib/lxpanel/plugins on Arch
/usr/lib/<PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE>/lxpanel/plugins on Debian/Ubuntu and its derivatives
PROCESSOR_ARCHITECTURE can be x86_64 or i686

The folder should at least contain several .so files which are the plugins like weather.so, volume.so, if not find it manually

find / 2>/dev/null -wholename "*/lxpanel/plugins"
This may take some time depending on the size of your file system

Copy the build file to this directory:
sudo cp build/netspeedmonitor.so <PLUGINS_DIRECTORY>

Restart lxpanel:
lxpanelctl restart
