cleanup confusing sections and fix sections which contain a todo
- Note: You may wish to do all of this inside a directory name that ends in .noindex or .build to keep spotlight from indexing all of your temporary build-files as you build them.
Required Third Party Tools
The following third party tools are required for successfully building KDE on OSX.
- AGG
- bzip2
- giflib or libungif
- libart_lgpl
- libidn
- libjpeg
- libmng
- libpng
- libxml2
- libxslt
- libusb
- OpenEXR
- PCRE
- Strigi
- shared-mime-info
- pkgconfig
- subversion (to check out the kde sources)
- dbus
Verify Compiler Version
- Fink: If your Distribution line in /sw/etc/fink.conf is 10.4-transitional, instead of 10.4, make sure you run sudo gcc_select 3.3 before proceeding with any compiling, or you will end up with binary-incompatible c++ code!
- Manual: run sudo gcc_select 4.0 if you want to be compatible with the pre-made installers.
Qt/Mac Open Source Edition
Download qt-mac-opensource from http://www.trolltech.com/download/qt/mac
Patches are required for a successful build. Download the qt-copy patches through KDE's svn:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/qt-copy/patches/
and apply the patches:
cd qt-mac-opensource-4*
for patch in /path/to/patches/*.diff; do patch -p0 < $patch; done
Note: when applying patches you will get errors when processing x11 specific files (i.e. files that match the pattern *_x11.{h,cpp}), simply skip those patches.
And finally, compile qt-mac:
./configure -prefix /opt/qt4 -qt-gif
make all install
Please note: The Qt/Mac binary edition available from ftp.trolltech.com will not work, because it does not contain the QtDBus module! (tested with 4.3.2)
CMake
CMake may be downloaded from CVS:
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/CMake login
Note: password is "cmake"
cvs -d :pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/CMake co CMake
And then compiled and installed:
cd CMake
./configure --prefix=/opt/cmake
make all install
Setting Up Your Build Environment
Variable must be set to build KDE successfully, and are noted below
- Note: Replace /opt/kde4-deps with the location of your 3rd-party tools, and add your cmake location if you compiled from source
export PATH="/opt/qt4/bin:/opt/kde4/bin:/opt/kde4-deps/bin:$PATH"
export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH="/opt/kde4-deps/lib"
export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH="/opt/kde4-deps/include"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="/opt/qt4/lib/"
Building kdelibs
kdelibs must be checked out of svn locally to be built:
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdelibs
And then compiled by performing the following:
mkdir kdelibs.build
cd kdelibs.build
cmake ../kdelibs -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde4
make all install
Troubleshooting
If kdelibs fails to compile successfully, check the build status for the latest Nightly Builds and Continuous Builds at http://public.kitware.com/dashboard.php?name=kde
Using Binaries
If you're interested in just checking things out, binaries for kdelibs and parts of KDE in general are available at http://ranger.users.finkproject.org/kde/ and are generated semi-regularly.
