This section needs improvements: Please help us to cleanup confusing sections and fix sections which contain a todo

Note
If you're interested in just checking things out, binaries for kdelibs and parts of KDE in general are available at http://kde.mac.org and are generated semi-regularly.

Note: You may wish to do all of this inside a directory name that ends in .noindex or .build to keep spotlight from indexing all of your temporary build-files as you build them.

mkdir ~/kde4.build
cd ~/kde4.build</code>
 
== MacPorts or Fink ==
The best method for currently installing KDE on Mac is to use either Macports or Fink to build at least the system requirements and then also install their stable KDE, or build your own development KDE using on top of their base.
 
You can find out more information on the [[/MacPorts| KDE on MacPorts]] page.
 
== Setting Up Your Build Environment ==
Variables must be set to build KDE successfully, and are noted below
*Note: Replace /opt/kde4-deps with the location of your 3rd-party tools, and add your cmake location if you compiled from source
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">export PATH="/opt/qt4/bin:/opt/kde4/bin:/opt/kde4-deps/bin:~/.local/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/:/opt/kde4-deps/lib/pkgconfig/"
</code>
 
You might want to put those in your ~/.bash_profile
 
* For Fink users: If your ''Distribution'' line in ''/sw/etc/fink.conf'' is 10.4-transitional, instead of 10.4, make sure you run ''sudo gcc_select 3.3'' before proceeding with any compiling, or you will end up with binary-incompatible c++ code!
* For others: run ''sudo gcc_select 4.0'' if you want to be compatible with the pre-made installers.
 
== Required Third Party Tools ==
The following third party tools are required for successfully building KDE on OSX. Also, here are some [[Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/LFS| good tips for installing from source]]. I assume you have OS X 10.5 or 10.6 installed, otherwise you would have some more dependencies.
* [http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html XCode]
* [http://www.gnu.org/software/libtool/libtool.html libtool]
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">cd ~/kde4.build

== Qt/Mac Open Source Edition ==
Get the Qt/Mac source code from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-mac-os-cpp
 
The latest version has QtDBus and should work with KDE for Mac. Get it here: http://download.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/qt-sdk-mac-opensource-2010.04.dmg
 
(statement make by entriken and unverified 2010-08-20)
 
== CMake ==
Get the latest CMake from http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html#latest and install:
 
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">cd ~/kde4.build
curl http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.2.tar.gz -O
tar xfz cmake-*.tar.gz
cd cmake-*
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde4-deps
make all
sudo make install</code>
 
== Building kdelibs ==
kdelibs must be checked out of svn locally to be built:
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">cd ~/kde4.build
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs</code>
And then compiled by performing the following:
<syntaxhighlight lang="text">mkdir kdelibs.build
cd kdelibs.build
cmake ../kdelibs -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde4
make all install</code>
 
== Troubleshooting ==
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]] (pages are Linux focused, but can be useful)
 
== Further Reading ==
For more general information on using CMake, see the [[Development/Tutorials/CMake|CMake Tutorial]].
