Some of the required packages for building KDE4 on Fedora 7 or higher:
yum install clucene-core-devel libxml-devel libxslt-devel \ dbus-devel boost-devel bzip2-devel openssl-devel alsa-lib-devel \ redland-devel rasqal-devel raptor-devel hspell-devel aspell-devel \ cups-devel xine-lib-devel avahi-devel gamin-devel OpenEXR-devel \ enchant-devel jasper-devel ilmbase-devel pcre-devel gpgme-devel \ libxklavier-devel glib-devel libusb-devel libsmbclient-devel \ libxcb-devel NetworkManager-devel lm_sensors-devel libraw1394-devel \ bluez-libs-devel gcc-c++ libXext-devel cmake make subversion giflib-devel \ libpng-devel libXdamage-devel libXcomposite-devel libXrender-devel \ fontconfig-devel libXft-devel libXcursor-devel libXfixes-devel \ ruby-devel libXScrnSaver-devel libkdcraw-devel exiv2-devel \ lcms-devel libtiff-devel sqlite-devel libxkbfile-devel \ imlib2-devel patch gstreamer-plugins-base-devel gstreamer-devel \
Some optional packages for koffice support:
yum install qca2-devel gsl-devel freeglut-devel \ GraphicsMagick-c++-devel GraphicsMagick-devel
This includes installation of D-Bus and CMake -- you can skip steps 5 and 6.
DCH-10/15/07: Note - It may be simpler to spin RPMs. Note that you can edit the variables in /etc/rpm/macros.kde4 (which is provided by Rawhide kde-filesystem).
The build stage then looks like:
(but in what directory?)
%build
mkdir -p %{_target_platform}
pushd %{_target_platform}
%{cmake_kde4} ..
popd
make %{?_smp_mflags} -C %{_target_platform}
I have had better results with creating a kdesupport rpm which means that you should not install the soprano and strigi rpms. YMMV
telsh: On a Fedora 8 System I had to install "qt4-devel" too to have qmake.
Return to building KDE 4.
