If you're not using an Ubuntu based distro, the best way to install the patched version of sni-qt is by building it from source code.

Dependencies

  • cmake
  • build-essential
  • qt4-default
    • qt-devel package in Fedora
  • dbusmenu-qt
    • libdbusmenu-qt-dev package in Ubuntu
    • dbusmenu-qt-devel package in Fedora

How to build

  1. Install bzr
  2. Clone the branch bzr branch lp:~cybre/elementary+/sni-qt-patched
  3. Use terminal to go the cloned directory cd ./sni-qt-patched
  4. Type in your terminal cmake ./
  5. And afterwards make
  6. sudo make install

To build a 32 bits version of sni-qt, just follow the same steps and use cmake -DCMAKE_CXX_FLAGS=-m32 -DCMAKE_SHARED_LINKER_FLAGS=-m32 ./ instead of cmake ./

And voilá! You've built and installed the patched version of Sni-Qt, if you've any issue with that you can open a new issue here.
