To build the packages you have to install some build-tools for your system first. If you already built something from source chances are you might have some of those installed.

Clone the repository and create the build directory:
git clone https://github.com/feren-OS/hello-Rounded-Corners
cd hello-Rounded-Corners && cd kwin-effects && mkdir build && cd build
Start building with cmake:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ..
make
sudo make install
Finally restart KWin to clear their cache:
kwin_x11 --replace &
You should now be able to use KDE's system settings to enable the rounding.

People have asked me to donate because they enjoyed these tools. Here's how you can donate:
- Open your favorite search engine
- Type in "donate homeless in my area" or "donate kids in my area" or similar, you get the idea
- Donate whatever you would've given to me, to those organizations instead
It's not that I don't want or need the money, but I'm blessed enough to have a roof over my head, food to eat, am generally healthy and have access to machines that allow me to create. Your money can help people in need or projects that help people.
If you live in Germany, here are some projects I personally have donated to and am a believer of:
Providing help to families whose children are terminally ill, giving them a nice place to be in for the last moments of their short lives, easing the burden of the parents and even helping families after their child's untimely demise.

Project to give homeless people a chance to reclaim their lives and get back on track. Similar to "Big Issue", but on a regional level.
