Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Kubuntu and Debian

This page details installation of kde4 requirements on Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy), Kubuntu 8.10 (Intrepid Ibex) and Debian (Testing/Unstable). For a basic functioning desktop, the recommended packages are installed with the command:

sudo aptitude install build-essential xorg-dev cdbs debhelper cmake \ kdesdk-scripts subversion ssh xserver-xephyr doxygen dbus-x11 \ libstreamanalyzer-dev libstrigiqtdbusclient-dev \ libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev shared-mime-info libical-dev libgif-dev libssl-dev \ libboost-dev libboost-program-options-dev libgpgme11-dev libxine-dev \ libqimageblitz-dev libbz2-dev libdbus-1-dev libpam0g-dev libpcre3-dev \ libkrb5-dev libsm-dev libclucene0ldbl libclucene-dev libjpeg62-dev \ libxtst-dev xsltproc libxrender-dev libfontconfig1-dev automoc4

This installs build prerequisites such as build essential, almost all compilation requirements for kde4 (with the exception of qt4) and some recommended packages such as libssl-dev for https support. Further recommended and optional packages are listed below.

To install all the optional packages:

sudo aptitude install build-essential xorg-dev cdbs debhelper cmake \ kdesdk-scripts subversion ssh xserver-xephyr doxygen graphviz libqt4-dev \ dbus-x11 libdbus-1-dev libstreamanalyzer-dev libstrigiqtdbusclient-dev \ libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev shared-mime-info libgif-dev libpcre3-dev \ libclucene0ldbl libclucene-dev libjpeg62-dev libkrb5-dev libsm-dev \ libssl-dev libbz2-dev libical-dev \ libpcre3-dev libxml2-utils libpcre3-dev libopenexr-dev libjasper-dev \ libenchant-dev libavahi-common-dev libaspell-dev libasound2-dev libboost-dev \ libboost-program-options-dev libgpgme11-dev libldap2-dev libsasl2-dev \ libxine-dev libqimageblitz-dev libsmbclient-dev libxkbfile-dev libxcb1-dev \ libxklavier12-dev libxdamage-dev libxcomposite-dev libbluetooth-dev libusb-dev \ libcaptury-dev network-manager-dev libsmbclient-dev libsensors-dev \ libpam0g-dev libnm-util-dev libusb-dev libcfitsio3-dev libnova-dev \ libeigen-dev libopenbabel-dev libfacile-ocaml-dev libboost-python-dev \ libqca2-dev libqca2-dev libqca2-dev libsvn-dev libsvncpp-dev \ libcommoncpp2-dev libidn11 libidn11-dev libxtst-dev librdf-dev xsltproc \ libxrender-dev libfontconfig1-dev libpci-dev libxss-dev libxft-dev

To compile the stable release of kde4 (kde4.0) also install the package libqt4-dev.

To compile kde from trunk (soon to be kde4.1) the latest Qt4.4 snapshot must be compiled from source. This is provided conveniently in the kde svn repository as qt-copy. Please read README.qt-copy for the necessary Qt options as well as currently known problems.

It may be installed with the following commands:

cs # Note: cs is not a typo. svn checkout svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/qt-copy cd qt-copy ./apply_patches cb # Build Qt in a separate build directory ../../src/qt-copy/configure <Qt options here> -prefix $QTDIR make -j2 # use 'make -j(X+1)' where X is your number of processors, to compile faster

if [ "$QTDIR" = "`pwd`" ]; then \ find . -name '*.o' -delete ; \ else make install; fi;

Further, there is kdesupport (strigi, soprano, etc.) to be compiled.

Make sure you have correct version of Java installed (1.5+ from Sun and not GNU Java Compiler aka gcj) in order to be able to build strigi, then follow to building kdesupport:

cs svn checkout svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport cd kdesupport cmakekde After installing required and desired packages, proceed to Building KDE4.

Build prerequisites

In Kubuntu 7.10 (Gutsy) and Debian (Testing/Unstable) the build prerequisites are installed with:

sudo aptitude install build-essential cdbs debhelper cmake \ kdesdk-scripts subversion ssh xserver-xephyr

Optional packages for API documentation generation: sudo aptitude install doxygen graphviz

kdelibs dependencies

Kdelibs dependencies can be installed with: sudo aptitude install libqt4-dev dbus-x11 \ libstreamanalyzer-dev libstrigiqtdbusclient-dev \ libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev shared-mime-info libgif-dev libpcre3-dev \ libjpeg62-dev

You may also need the automoc and libphonon-dev packages when compiling on *buntu: sudo aptitude install automoc libphonon-dev

Recommended packages

• libssl-dev - Needed for https support etc.
• libbz2-dev - Needed for bzip support in kio_archive and GHNS packages.
• libpcre3-dev - regular expression library. Recommended for Javascript support.

sudo aptitude install libssl-dev libbz2-dev libpcre3-dev

Optional packages

• libasound2-dev - The Alsa sound system
• libaspell-dev - spell checking support (in kwrite etc)
• libavahi-common-dev - avahi/zeroconf service discovery
• libenchant-dev - spell checking wrapper library

kdebase-runtime dependencies can be installed with: sudo aptitude install libxine-dev

 

Note
Note that libxine1-dev depends on gnome packages due to a kubuntu gutsy packaging bug (fixed in hardy). Also kubuntu packages xinelib version 1.1.8, which has trouble playing short sounds (fixed in xinelib 1.1.9).
