Got past that step no stuck here

[rbuj]

sudo?

[CyberBishop]

yes I used Sudo

[rbuj]

sudo ./configure ?

[CyberBishop]

yes did that

[rbuj]

then regular user cannot perform make as user doesn't have enough permissions after doing sudo ./configure

[CyberBishop]

kept on retrying seems like its working for now, still making

[raveit65]

./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

[CyberBishop]

[CyberBishop]

./autogen.sh && make && sudo make install

trying this now

[rbuj]

&& only will run the next command when the previous one exited successfully.
If you do not change the file permissions using chown you will have to run sudo make

this happened after make ran for a very long time

[CyberBishop]

sudo make stops at this point

[rbuj]

Change the file permissions of your working copy using chown (chown -R USER PATH), then remove the generated files on configure step using make distclean and start the process by running the commands one by one without chaining (&&).

./autogen.sh
make
sudo make install

[CyberBishop]

Change the file permissions of your working copy using chown (chown -R USER PATH)
I dont get

[rbuj]

sudo chown -R $USER $PWD

[CyberBishop]

alright

[CyberBishop]

sudo chown -R $USER $PWD
I should just run the command this way

[CyberBishop]

still got this error

Install kernel source/headers on your system.

[rbuj]

to compile the cpufreq applet, the kernel source and headers must be installed on your system. If you do not know how to install all build deps you can disable this applet on the configure step. You can find more information by running:

 ./configure --help

[CyberBishop]

I have kernel headers I dont know about the source but it should be something that came with parrot

[CyberBishop]

Installed kernel source

[egnappahz]

I have this problem aswell on my arch linux. I installed linux and linux-headers. The vanilla archlinux kernel, version 5.12.6. It is not working with mate-applets version 25.3

I really don't know what else to tell you, since my C knowledge is certainly not as great as my knowledge of the linux system and arch linux in particular.

The compile doesn't work, and I feel like we are missing a vital piece of information here.
