Gentoo requirements

Install by hand

You can use stable ebuilds just remember to sync your portage before you begin.

Remember: All commands are executed as root.

Required:

We need to allow the following keyword masked ebuilds.

echo 'dev-util/cmake' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords echo 'dev-cpp/clucene' >> /etc/portage/package.keywords

Make sure you have set the berkdb USE flag for redland, otherwise nepomuk won't work.

echo 'dev-libs/redland berkdb' >> /etc/portage/package.use echo 'x11-libs/qt accessibility' >> /etc/portage/package.use

These are the packages you will need to emerge, I included the update option into the emerge command so you will not re-emerge anything that you might already have installed.

emerge -avu 'sys-devel/gcc' \

 'dev-util/subversion' \
 'dev-util/pkgconfig'  \
 'x11-base/xorg-x11' \
 'virtual/glut' \
 'media-libs/mesa' \
 'media-libs/jpeg' \
 'media-libs/libpng' \
 'media-libs/giflib' \
 'dev-cpp/clucene' \
 'dev-util/cppunit' \
 'media-libs/liblrdf' \
 'dev-libs/libxml2' \
 'dev-libs/libxslt' \
 'x11-misc/shared-mime-info' \
 'dev-libs/boost' \
 'dev-util/cmake' \
 'dev-libs/redland' \
 'sys-apps/dbus' \
 'sys-apps/hal' \
 'x11-libs/qt'

You will also need to emerge either 'kde-base/kdesdk' or kde-base/kdesdk-scripts'.

If you emerged DBUS, CMAKE, QT or HAL you may skip those sections respectively. Good luck!

Install via portage

Also you can install the KDE 4 packages directly via emerge -a <packagename>

To get the things you need, install layman and then pull in the "kde" overlay (which contains experimental KDE ebuilds): layman -a kde After this you need to adjust some USE-flags for KDE 4 and tell portage to use the testing KDE 4 ebuilds instead of the stable KDE 3 ones.

That way portage will do the dependency tracking for you.

Detailed instructions on building KDE 4 in Gentoo via portage can be found in the KDE overlay wiki. They are discussed in the forum thread KDE 4 monolithic ebuilds, which is continued here
