| ==Build instructions==
| | #REDIRECT [[Getting_Started/Build|Building KDE]] |
| This article shows how to download, build, install and start KDE 4 from subversion. It consolidates howtos from various sites, e.g.
| |
| http://developer.kde.org/build/compile_cvs.html.
| |
| This topic shows one way that works. It does not intend to explain the obvious background behind it.
| |
| | |
| To reduce complexity, we use the bash-shell (standard) throughout the tutorial.
| |
| | |
| ==Become the user kde-devel==
| |
| useradd kde-devel
| |
| mkdir /home/kde-devel
| |
| chown kde-devel:kde-devel /home/kde-devel 2>/dev/null || chown kde-devel:users /home/kde-devel{CODE}
| |
| | |
| Change to the user kde-devel:
| |
| su - kde-devel
| |
| | |
| ==Setting the environment==
| |
| You have to add some environment variables - add these lines to ~/.bashrc.
| |
| export YACC='byacc -d'
| |
| export QTDIR=$HOME/qt-unstable
| |
| export KDEDIR=$HOME/kde
| |
| export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR
| |
| export DBUSDIR=$KDEDIR
| |
| export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DBUSDIR/lib/pkgconfig:\
| |
| $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
| |
| export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
| |
| export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
| |
| alias dbusstart="eval `PATH=$DBUSDIR/bin \
| |
| $DBUSDIR/bin/dbus-launch --auto-syntax`"
| |
| function cmakekde { cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kde \
| |
| -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull $@ && make VERBOSE=1 && make install}
| |
| | |
| ==Check out the software==
| |
| svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/qt-copy
| |
| svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs
| |
| wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.4/cmake-2.4.3.tar.gz
| |
| wget http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-0.91.tar.gz
| |
| | |
| ==Build DBus==
| |
| tar xvfz dbus-0.91.tar.gz
| |
| cd dbus-0.91/
| |
| ./configure --disable-qt --disable-qt3 --prefix=$DBUSDIR \
| |
| --localstatedir=/var && make && make install
| |
| | |
| __Make sure the dbus session is running__
| |
| Otherwise some parts of the build will fail, e.g. kxml_compiler based file processing in kdepim.
| |
| dbusstart
| |
| | |
| ==Build Qt==
| |
| cd ~/qt-copy && \
| |
| ./configure -qt-gif -no-exceptions -debug -fast \
| |
| -prefix $QTDIR -qdbus && make && make install{CODE}
| |
| | |
| ==Build and install CMake==
| |
| | |
| The default prefix is /usr/local, make sure /usr/local/bin is in your PATH.
| |
| | |
| tar zxf cmake-2.4.3.tar.gz
| |
| mkdir cmake-build
| |
| cd cmake-build
| |
| ../cmake-2.4.3/bootstrap
| |
| make
| |
| sudo make install
| |
| | |
| ==Build KDElibs==
| |
| cd ~/
| |
| mkdir kdelibs_build
| |
| cd kdelibs_build
| |
| cmakekde ../kdelibs
| |
| | |
| ===Troubleshooting===
| |
| If you have problems compiling this, first make sure the following commands can be executed: aclocal, autoconf, autoheader, gcc, g++, pkg-config.
| |
| | |
| __Note :__ If you get "Could NOT find GIF", install the devel package of libungif (the actual name may vary on distribution).
| |
| | |
| If the problems persist, try the make-option
| |
| --keep-going
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Build kdepimlibs==
| |
| Before KDEBase you need to install kdepimlibs
| |
| | |
| cd
| |
| svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdepimlibs
| |
| mkdir kdepimlibs-build
| |
| cd kdepimlibs-build
| |
| cmakekde ../kdepimlibs
| |
| | |
| ===Troubleshooting===
| |
| To compile against kdelibs (not the snapshot) add
| |
| set(KDE4_IGNORE_DONTPORT TRUE)
| |
| to the CMakeLists.txt before 'find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED)'
| |
| | |
| | |
| ==Build KDEbase==
| |
| You may need KDEbase for some kioslaves.
| |
| cd
| |
| svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdebase
| |
| mkdir kdebase-build
| |
| cd kdebase-build
| |
| cmakekde ../kdebase
| |
| ===Troubleshooting===
| |
| If you have troubles compiling this:
| |
| * Make sure you have the libxss headers installed. (Usually you got undefined references on xscreensaver objects if you haven't those headers)
| |
| * Make sure you compiled and installed kdelibs4_snapshot including the kdoctools.

| which meinproc
| |
| has to deliver
| |
| /home/kde-devel/kde
| |
| | |
| ==Start KDE 4 programs==
| |
| To start the desktop environment itself, do:
| |
| X :1 & export DISPLAY=:1
| |
| startkde
| |
| Maybe you are logged in as your normal user (not kde-devel), want to stay in your current environment (KDE 3.5, gnome, whatever) and start a KDE 4 program. To start only kwrite from KDE 4, do:
| |
| ssh -X kde-devel@localhost
| |
| kwrite
| |
| | |
| {{KDE4}}
| |
