Some basic instructions for getting a KDE plasma desktop session built from git when running Fedora 17. This is intentionally leaving out some of the more advanced options / configurations so that you can quickly get up and running without losing your sanity.
Dependencies
To build KDE from source on Fedora 17 first install the necessary packages:
sudo yum groupinstall "KDE Software Compilation" "Development Libraries" "Development Tools" "KDE Software Development" "X Software Development" sudo yum install dbusmenu-qt-devel docbook-dtds docbook-utils libxslt-devel aspell-devel avahi-devel grantlee-devel jasper jasper-devel media-player-info OpenEXR OpenEXR-devel pcre-devel qca2-devel raptor2-devel redland-devel libudev-devel akonadi-devel libical-devel libxslt-devel prison-devel libtidy-devel libcanberra-devel exiv2 exiv2-libs exiv2-devel rpc2 rpc2-devel xz-devel libssh-devel libssh2-devel NetworkManager-devel pulseaudio-libs-devel openslp-devel gpgme-devel strigi dblatex taglib-devel polkit-devel libmusicbrainz-devel libv4l-devel sane-backends-devel lcms2-devel libgphoto2-devel eigen2-devel libmusicbrainz3-devel cdparanoia-devel bzr redland-bindings-common libiodbc-devel sudo yum-builddep qt
kdesrc-build instructions / configuration
This guide uses kdesrc-build for building KDE. Here is a sample configuration for building the latest version of the KDE 4.9 branch. For more detailed information aobut kdesrc-build check out the documentation.
Nepomuk / Desktop search
For 32 bit systems issue the following commands:
cp /usr/lib/virtodbc.so ~/kde/lib/ cp /usr/lib/virtodbc_r.so ~/kde/lib/ cp /usr/bin/virtuoso-t ~/kde/bin/
For 64 bit systems issue the following commands:
cp /usr/lib64/virtodbc.so ~/kde/lib/ cp /usr/lib64/virtodbc_r.so ~/kde/lib/ cp /usr/bin/virtuoso-t ~/kde/bin/
Running the new KDE session
Create a file in your home directory called startkde-wrapper:
#!/bin/sh
export KDEDIR="~/"
AddToPath() {
eval "export $1=$2\${$1+:\$$1}" # prepend to existing path, if there is one
}
AddToPath PATH "$KDEDIR/bin"
AddToPath LD_LIBRARY_PATH "$KDEDIR/lib"
AddToPath QT_PLUGIN_PATH "$KDEDIR/lib/kde4/plugins:$KDEDIR/lib/qt4/plugins"
AddToPath PKG_CONFIG_PATH "$KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig"
AddToPath CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH "$KDEDIR"
export XDG_DATA_DIRS="$KDEDIR/share:/usr/share"
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="$KDEDIR/etc/xdg:/etc/xdg"
export KDEDIRS="$KDEDIR"
exec startkde "$@"
Make the file executable:
chmod a+x ~/startkde-wrapper
You must disable selinux before the login screen will show you the entry for the KDE git session. To permanently disable selinux edit /etc/selinux/config and set:
SELINUX=disabled
Then use the command to disable selinux immediately without needing to reboot:
sudo setenforce 0
Copy the normal plasma desktop session:
cp /usr/share/xsession/kde-plasma.desktop /usrshare/xsession/kde-git.desktop
Edit the new copy and set the following values(replace username with your user's name):
Exec=/home/<username>/startkde-wrapper TryExec=/home/<username>/startkde-wrapper Name=KDE Git
Logout then select the new KDE Git session when logging in.
