Hi, I will report the log here:

CMake Error in CMakeLists.txt:
No CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER could be found.

Tell CMake where to find the compiler by setting either the environment
variable "CXX" or the CMake cache entry CMAKE_CXX_COMPILER to the full path
to the compiler, or to the compiler name if it is in the PATH.

I'm on fedora kde5 with the latest updates.

I don't know why cmake requires a c++ compiler here (you don't need it for places-widget) but installing the g++ package should take care of it.

As I said though, it should be enough to unlock your desktop, download https://dl.opendesktop.org/api/files/download/id/1509196482/places-widget-1.2.plasmoid and drag it from your file manager onto your desktop.

I just changed the category of the places widget on opendesktop.org, you should now be able to install it through plasma.

@dfaust Thanks for the support. I will test these solution and give you the feedback soon as possible. Thanks :)
