-Some additional packages are required for Fedora 9 or higher:
-<code bash>
-yum install libcapseo-devel libcaptury-devel
-</code>
-Some optional packages for koffice support:
-<code bash>
-yum install qca2-devel gsl-devel freeglut-devel \
-GraphicsMagick-c++-devel GraphicsMagick-devel

-akonadi uses mysql:
-<code bash>
-yum install mysql-devel
-</code>
-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.
-{{TODO| Audit this and organize by module.
