== Abstract ==
== Introduction ==


Some or all of these packages should be available for installation [[build requirements|from your distribution]]. For ease of installation and upgrading it is a good idea to install distribution packages if a recent enough version is provided. Software required to build KDE4 includes:
This page details the software requirements that need to be installed on your system before you can start building KDE Software. For most of these requirements it is preferable to use your distribution supplied packages, however in some case you will need to build some requirements yourself and this page will also explain how to do so.


* gcc and g++, preferably version 4.2 or higher
=== Required Steps ===
* svn, the subversion revision control client
* pkg-config
* development libraries and headers for X11, OpenGL (mesa-common-dev and libglu1-mesa-dev), libjpeg, libpng, libungif, [http://download.librdf.org/source/ librdf], libxml2 and libxslt
* the <tt>makeobj</tt> script, which is included in kdesdk. You can install it from kdesdk (kdesdk-scripts on Debian) or similar packages, or download at [http://websvn.kde.org/*checkout*/trunk/KDE/kdesdk/scripts/makeobj WebSVN]
* the [http://freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/shared-mime-info shared-mime-info package], is the freedesktop MIME standard now used in KDE
* the [http://oscaf.sourceforge.net/ shared-desktop-ontologies package] is required to build and run all Nepomuk semantic desktop/desktop search modules.
* [http://boost.org/ boost], used by kdebase; after build and/or install, in order to make cmake aware about its location (FindBoost),  add the boost directory (which contains the include subdirectory) to CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH or set a environment variable called BOOST_ROOT that points to the boost directory.
* [http://docbook.org/schemas/4x.html DocBook XML DTDs (v4.2)] and [http://wiki.docbook.org/topic/DocBookXslStylesheets related XSL stylesheets], used by KDE help system; their packages are available in most distributions


== D-Bus ==
You need to have completed the following steps:
QtDBus and KDE are known to work with D-Bus versions 0.62, as well as 0.92 and upwards. Versions 0.60 and 0.61 may work too but are not tested. Versions 0.90 and 0.91 are known not to work. We recommend using post-1.0 release versions (at least 0.94), so consider upgrading if you haven't done so.
* Set up your [[../Environment|Build Environment]]
* Selected your [[../Recipes|Build Recipes]]


Get [http://www.freedesktop.org/wiki/Software/dbus dbus] from your distribution, current stable release is version 1.2. Additionally you will also need dbus-glib. Be sure to also install the corresponding lib- and -devel packages.
== Definitions ==


If you need to build it manually, latest release is [http://www.example.com link title http://dbus.freedesktop.org/releases/dbus/dbus-1.2.24.tar.gz]
The Build Requirements for each Module will be documented in a common table format as follows:


{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
|+ '''Build Requirements'''
|-
! width="20%" style="background-color:#EFEFEF;" | Requirement
! width="15%" style="background-color:#EFEFEF;" | Stable Requires

| style="background-color:#FF6666" | >= 2.0
| style="background-color:#66FF66" | >= 1.0
| Yes
| A library to enable KDE Software to foo your bar.
|}


== CMake ==
The fields in this table are defined as follows:
You need to have [http://cmake.org/ CMake] >=2.6.4 installed.
You should be able to directly use the binary packages available on the [http://cmake.org/HTML/index.html CMake site]. There are also distribution specific packages available.


== Qt ==
{| border="1" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0"
Next we need to get Qt4. KDE 4.3 builds against Qt 4.5, however KDE trunk requires Qt 4.6. If you plan to build trunk on an ongoing basis, it is probably easier to track kde-qt, especially as KDE trunk may occasionally require a pre-release version of Qt.

|-
| style="background-color:#EFEFEF;" | '''Unstable Requires'''

Most up-to-date distributions will have packages of sufficiently new Qt to build the latest KDE stable branch. Some distributions may even package kde-qt; if so, using it is a viable option. If the distribution you use does not provide packages of the necessary version of Qt, it will be necessary to use the recipe below. More information can be found in the sections of the tutorial specific to each distribution.
== System Prerequisites ==


Building qt4.4 with the -no-qt3support option will cause things to break.
TODO: Complete updating this list


; README
All of these packages should be installed from your distribution. If you cannot meet these requirements from your distribution, it is recommended to either update to a more recent distribution or to build KDE in a virtual machine.
Please read the [http://qt.gitorious.org/+kde-developers/qt/kde-qt/blobs/master/README.kde-qt README.kde-qt] file for the necessary Qt configure options as well as currently known issues.


=== The Recipe ===
Requirements as at 2011-03-02.
cs    # Note: cs is not a typo. See  [[Getting_Started/Increased_Productivity_in_KDE4_with_Scripts/.bashrc|<font color=red>.bashrc</font>]]
git clone git://gitorious.org/+kde-developers/qt/kde-qt.git qt-kde
cd qt-kde
./configure ''[copy/paste configure line from README.kde-qt replacing <installdir> with $QTDIR]''
make -j2 # use 'make -j(X+1)' where X is your number of processors, to compile faster
make install


Note that you need to install Qt and Phonon from Qt and then later to install Phonon KDE from git at the same location. This will ensure you get sounds in Qt-based applications as well as in KDE ones.

=== What's Happening ===
! width="40%" style="background-color:#EFEFEF;" | Details
We switch back to the <tt>kde-devel</tt> user's home directory (line 1) and download the source code, KDE branch, from gitorious using git (line 2). After changing into the resulting {{path|qt-kde}} directory (line 3), we then set up the build using the <tt>configure</tt> script (line 4). The various command line options used are explained in the {{path|qt-kde/README.kde-qt}} file. Finally, we build the minimal requirements for KDE (line 6) and install (line 9) Qt. If install dir is the same as the current dir (line 7), then we just free some space (line 8) instead. If you want all the example and demo applications, you can either build them individually or simply do a <tt>make</tt> from the {{path|qt-kde}} directory.
|-
 
| GCC / G++
Note that the installation does not require root as it installs Qt locally into {{path|$QTDIR}}. Installation is necessary if {{path|$QTDIR}} differs from the source directory.
| style="background-color:#FF6666" | >= 4.2
In the end, we make sure the cmake macro to find the Qt directory will work. It must be able to find qmake in $QTDIR.
| style="background-color:#FF6666" | >= 4.2
 
| No
=== Troubleshooting ===
|
If you get "error: X11/Xlib.h: No such file or directory", install the devel package of <tt>xorg</tt> (the actual name may vary between operating systems, for example it is <tt>xorg-dev</tt> on Ubuntu based systems such as Kubuntu).  
|-
 
| [http://git-scm.com/ Git]
If you get an error in the configure step about missing defines, check the value of <tt>$QMAKESPEC</tt>. Some distributions set this to point directly to the system-installed Qt. If <tt>unset QMAKESPEC</tt> solves the problem, you probably want to add it to the <tt>~/.bashrc</tt> script.
| style="background-color:#66FF66" |
 
| style="background-color:#66FF66" |
If you get an error ".pch/debug-shared/QtCore", this is because Qt-4.3 enables precompiled headers if your gcc supports it, but for some reason it doesn't work for you. If you use distcc, configure qt with -no-pch. If you use icecream, update to the latest icecream from svn trunk.
| No
 
| Revision control software, required for development builds.
Try running any Qt program, like {{program|assistant}}. '''Note:''' You may need to run <tt>xhost +local:kde-devel</tt> as your regular kde3 user to run this application. If it crashes in QSpanData::adjustSpanMethods, then your problem is the oxygen style. Try removing {{path|lib/kde4/plugins/styles/kstyle-oxygen.so}} and {{path|lib/kde4/plugins/styles/oxygen.so}} if they exist in the KDE install prefix.

|-
 
| [http://cmake.org/HTML/index.html CMake]
If your system requires you to build a newer version of HAL, there's a decent chance you'll need to build other stuff as well, some of which may not be straight forward. This, however, should only be required for older distros.

Introduction

This page details the software requirements that need to be installed on your system before you can start building KDE Software. For most of these requirements it is preferable to use your distribution supplied packages, however in some case you will need to build some requirements yourself and this page will also explain how to do so.

Required Steps

You need to have completed the following steps:

  • Set up your [[../Environment|Build Environment]]
  • Selected your [[../Recipes|Build Recipes]]

Definitions

The Build Requirements for each Module will be documented in a common table format as follows:

Build Requirements
Requirement Stable Requires Unstable Requires Devel Pkgs? Details
Foobar >= 2.0 >= 1.0 Yes A library to enable KDE Software to foo your bar.

The fields in this table are defined as follows:

Requirement The project that KDE Software depends on, including a link to the Project home page.]
Stable Requires The version of the Project that the current Stable KDE Release requires. The background color indicates if the requirement is optional (green) or mandatory (red). Stable is currently KDE Release 4.6.
Unstable Requires The version of the Project that the current Unstable development version requires. The background color indicates if the requirement is optional (green) or mandatory (red). Unstable is currently targeting KDE Release 4.7.
Devel Pkgs? If installing from distribution packages, whether you also need to install the -devel packages.
Details More information about the Project and the requirement

System Prerequisites

TODO: Complete updating this list

All of these packages should be installed from your distribution. If you cannot meet these requirements from your distribution, it is recommended to either update to a more recent distribution or to build KDE in a virtual machine.

Requirements as at 2011-03-02.

KDE Software Build Requirements
Requirement Stable Requires Unstable Requires Devel Pkgs? Details
GCC / G++ >= 4.2 >= 4.2 No
Git No Revision control software, required for development builds.
Subversion No Revision control software, required for development builds.

DocBook XSl Stylesheets >= 4.2 >= 4.2 No Required for the KDE documentation and help

Hardware Libraries

HAL (Hardware Abstraction Layer) is required by KDE 4.5 and earlier for interfacing with your hardware. Your distribution supplied packages should be sufficient for this.

From KDE 4.6 onwards HAL has been deprecated in favor of uDisk, uPower and related projects, but all but the most recent distributions will still require HAL.

Distributions

Many distributions provide shortcut meta-packages or install commands to simplify installing all the KDE requirements. Check the Distributions page first to see if your distribution provides a simple way to install the requirements.

Shared-Desktop-Ontologies

The Ontologies are a shared resource required for the semantic desktop.

KDE Software Build Requirements
Requirement Stable Requires Unstable Requires Devel Pkgs? Details
Shared-Desktop-Ontologies >= >= 0.7 No

Your distribution packages should be sufficient for this package but some older distributions may not have them so you may need to build them yourself using either the Easy Recipe or Full Recipe.

To obtain the source you can either download a tarball from the website or use the following git command: 

git clone git://oscaf.git.sourceforge.net/gitroot/oscaf/shared-desktop-ontologies

Next Step

Once all requirements have been installed it is time to install Qt
