| | #REDIRECT [[Getting_Started/Build|Building KDE]] |
| | |
| ==Objectives==
| |
| | |
| You probably want to keep your current KDE-3.5.x installation till you feel that KDE-4.x.y meets your needs for actual day to day use of your computer. Yet, you want to be able to change over with a minimum of work when the time comes to make the switch.
| |
| | |
| ==Method==
| |
| | |
| The best way to accomplish this is to install the needed support libraries on your system in the usual manner. Convention is that these should be installed in the /usr/local/ directory. By default, Troll Tech installs Qt in: /usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4/. It is best to install KDE-4.x.y in its own directory so that the directory can be deleted if some large problem occurs. I will be using /usr/local/KDE-4/ but you can call it whatever you want.
| |
| | |
| We will keep configurations straight by using a separate user account for accessing KDE-4.x.y. This user account will contain your configurations of KDE-4.x.y and will have a script to set the environment variables (.bash_profile if using Linux).
| |
| | |
| ==Installation==
| |
| | |
| === Required packages from your distribution===
| |
| * [[Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/LFS|Linux from Scratch]] or to build from source.
| |
| | |
| (Till other distro instructions are added, you can probably determine the correct version to install by reading the LFS list of libraries)
| |
| | |
| ===Create the User Account===
| |
| | |
| Use whatever method you wish to create a new user account. Mine is called: "KDE4". Then edit or create the user specific login script (.bash_profile for Linux). There is a lot that goes into this. Note that this presumes that USER was correctly set by the system login script.

| This is in addition to other things that you need in the script which would probably go at the beginning -- this large block of junk is to be added at the end. The XDG directories might need to be modified for your system.
| |
| | |
| ===Build===
| |
| | |
| To build, you must be logged on as the new user account (KDE4). You can 'su' for the whole thing or 'su -c' for each install.
| |
| | |
| Packages need to be installed with the correct prefixes for this to work:
| |
| | |
| :If you are building Qt from source, configure it with with --prefix=/usr/local/Trolltech/Qt-4. If you installed it from a binary, determine the prefix and change: QTDIR in the script above.
| |
| | |
| :KDE should use: -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/local/KDE-4 when running cmake.
| |
| | |
| :KDE Support should installed in the same directory as KDE. This also applies to some of the packages if you are installing the individual packages/modules for a release or BRANCH. For packages that don't use CMake that would be: --prefix=/usr/local/KDE-4. The packages that don't install anything in "share" (eigen,eigen2) can be installed in "/usr/local/".
| |
| | |
| :Other packages should be installed with the default prefix (/usr/local).
| |
| | |
| ===Configure===
| |
| | |
| For this to work, you must properly configure D-Bus. The D-Bus services will be installed in "$KDEDIR/share/dbus-1/services". For D-Bus to find them, you must add that path to the: "/etc/dbus-1/session-local.conf" file.
