| This article shows how to download, build, install and start KDE 4 from subversion. It consolidates howtos from various sites, e.g.
| | #REDIRECT [[Getting_Started/Build|Building KDE]] |
| 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
| |
| | |
| Switch to the user kde-devel:
| |
| su - kde-devel
| |
| | |
| == Set Environment Variables ==
| |
| You have to add some environment variables - add these lines to <code>~/.bashrc</code>.
| |
| 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 $@ && make VERBOSE=1 && make install; }
| |
| | |
| == Check out the software ==
| |
| svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/qt-copy
| |
| svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs
| |
| wget http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.4/cmake-2.4.3.tar.gz
| |
| wget http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus-0.91.tar.gz
| |
| | |
| == Build D-Bus ==
| |
| tar xvfz dbus-0.91.tar.gz
| |
| cd dbus-0.91/
| |
| ./configure --disable-qt --disable-qt3 --prefix=$DBUSDIR \
| |
| --localstatedir=/var && make && su -c "make install"
| |
| | |
| '''Make sure the dbus session is running'''. Otherwise some parts of the build will fail, e.g. <code>kxml_compiler</code> based file processing in kdepim:
| |
| dbusstart
| |
| | |
| == Build Qt ==
| |
| cd ~/qt-copy && \
| |
| ./configure -qt-gif -no-exceptions -debug -fast \
| |
| -prefix $QTDIR -qdbus && make && make install
| |
| | |
| == Build and Install CMake ==
| |
| | |
| The default prefix is <code>/usr/local</code>, make sure <code>/usr/local/bin</code> is in your <code>$PATH</code>.
| |
| | |
| 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 <code>libungif</code> (the actual name may vary on distribution).
| |
| | |
| If the problems persist, try the make-option <code>--keep-going</code>
| |
| | |
| == 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 <code>CMakeLists.txt</code> before <code>find_package(KDE4 REQUIRED)</code>
| |
| | |
| == 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 <code>libxss headers</code> installed. (Usually you got undefined references on xscreensaver objects if you haven't those headers)
| |
| * <code>which meinproc</code> has to deliver <code>/home/kde-devel/kde/bin/meinproc</code>
| |
| | |
| == 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}}
| |
