Building and installing doesn't work properly

[AlphaCraft9658]

The building and installation themselves work with no issues, but once I try to use the Lightly theme built from here, system settings tell me that this theme can't be used.

1. Does it work with normal lightly?
2. KDE & KDE frameworks version?
3. Any errors/warnings during build?
4. Please send a screenshot of the message you described

Thanks

When manually building Lightly, even from the original repo, plasma settings can't apply the theme.

I have absolutely no clue how to reproduce this then. At the least, I'd like that other information I've requested

KDE-Version: 2.26.6
KDE-Frameworks-Version: 5.102.0

There are some warnings, that I get during the "make" command.

My system language is set to German. The message translates to "The selected style "Lightly" can't be applied".

I have the same problem.

KDE Plasma Version: 5.26.5
KDE Frameworks Version: 5.102.0
Qt Version: 5.15.8
Kernel Version: 6.1.10-1-default (64-bit)

When building on OpenSuse, I have to change "CMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR" from lib to lib64.
Like this:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib64 -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF ..

Don't know if it helps

@kturques sorry I missed this. Fascinating. How did you discover?

In Debian all libs are under a subdirectory in /usr/lib :

• /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu
• /usr/lib/i386-linux-gnu

In Opensuse, this is split in 2 directories :

• /usr/lib
• /usr/lib64

Thats where breeze store its libs in OpenSuse

usr
└── lib64
    ├── libbreezecommon5.so.5 -> libbreezecommon5.so.5.27.2
    ├── libbreezecommon5.so.5.27.2
    └── qt5
        └── plugins
            ├── plasma
            │   └── kcms
            │       └── systemsettings_qwidgets
            │           └── breezestyleconfig.so
            └── styles
                └── breeze.so

In Debian/Ubuntu:

usr
└── lib
    └── x86_64-linux-gnu
        ├── libbreezecommon5.so.5 -> libbreezecommon5.so.5.25.5
        ├── libbreezecommon5.so.5.25.5
        └── qt5
            └── plugins
                ├── kstyle_breeze_config.so
                └── styles
                    └── breeze.so

I also experienced the same problem on Fedora 38 and i managed to fixed it by installing dependencies that were marked as OPTIONAL by CMake. I initially assumed they weren't needed because CMake didn't block the build(as it did with some other dependencies i was missing). The packages i was missing:

• kf5-kcmutils-devel
• kf5-frameworkintegration-devel

Tested the cmake flag on Nobara Linux (Fedora 37), it worked and the Lightly theme is now applicable in the Application styles without errors.
