The following third party tools are required for successfully building KDE on OSX. Also, here are some good tips for installing from source.
Click "Source code available on this link:" at http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/qt-for-open-source-cpp-development-on-mac-os-x
Patches are required for a successful build. Download the qt-copy patches through KDE's svn:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/qt-copy/patches/
and apply the patches:
cd qt-mac-opensource-4*
for patch in /path/to/patches/*.diff; do patch -p0 < $patch; done
Note: when applying patches you will get errors when processing x11 specific files (i.e. files that match the pattern *_x11.{h,cpp}), simply skip those patches.
And finally, compile qt-mac:
./configure -prefix /opt/qt4 -qt-gif
make all install
Please note: The Qt/Mac binary edition available from ftp.trolltech.com will not work, because it does not contain the QtDBus module! (tested with 4.3.2)
CMake may be downloaded from CVS:
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake login
Note: password is "cmake"
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@www.cmake.org:/cvsroot/CMake co CMake
And then compiled and installed:
cd CMake
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde4-deps
make all install
Variable must be set to build KDE successfully, and are noted below
export PATH="/opt/qt4/bin:/opt/kde4/bin:/opt/kde4-deps/bin:$PATH"
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/kde4-deps/lib"
export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH="/opt/kde4-deps/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/qt4/lib/"
kdelibs must be checked out of svn locally to be built:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs
And then compiled by performing the following:
mkdir kdelibs.build
cd kdelibs.build
cmake ../kdelibs -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde4
make all install
If kdelibs fails to compile successfully, check the build status for the latest Nightly Builds and Continuous Builds at http://public.kitware.com/dashboard.php?name=kde
Information about getting and compiling the dependencies can be found at Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 and Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Prerequisites (pages are Linux focused, but can be useful)
If you're interested in just checking things out, binaries for kdelibs and parts of KDE in general are available at Projects/KDE on Mac OS X and are generated semi-regularly.
For more general information on using CMake, see the CMake Tutorial.
