== MacPorts or Fink ==
The best method for currently installing KDE on Mac is to use either Macports or Fink to build at least the system requirements and then also install their stable KDE, or build your own development KDE using on top of their base.
You can find out more information on the [[/MacPorts| KDE on MacPorts]] page.

* For others: run ''sudo gcc_select 4.0'' if you want to be compatible with the pre-made installers.

This section needs improvements: Please help us to

cleanup confusing sections and fix sections which contain a todo


Note
If you're interested in just checking things out, binaries for kdelibs and parts of KDE in general are available at http://kde.mac.org and are generated semi-regularly.

MacPorts or Fink

The best method for currently installing KDE on Mac is to use either Macports or Fink to build at least the system requirements and then also install their stable KDE, or build your own development KDE using on top of their base.

You can find out more information on the KDE on MacPorts page.

Setting Up Your Build Environment

Variables 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:~/.local/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/:/opt/kde4-deps/lib/pkgconfig/"

You might want to put those in your ~/.bash_profile

  • For Fink users: 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!
  • For others: run sudo gcc_select 4.0 if you want to be compatible with the pre-made installers.

Required Third Party Tools

The following third party tools are required for successfully building KDE on OSX. Also, here are some good tips for installing from source. I assume you have OS X 10.5 or 10.6 installed, otherwise you would have some more dependencies.

cd ~/kde4.build
curl http://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/libtool/libtool-2.2.tar.gz -O
tar xfz libtool-2.2.tar.gz 
cd libtool-2.2
ls
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde4-deps
make
sudo make install
cd ~/kde4.build
curl ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxml2-sources-2.7.7.tar.gz -O
tar xfz libxml2-sources-*.tar.gz
cd libxml2-2.7.7
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde4-deps/
make
sudo make install

cd ~/kde4.build
curl ftp://xmlsoft.org/libxml2/libxslt-1.1.26.tar.gz -O
tar xfz libxslt-*.tar.gz
cd libxslt-1.1.26
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde4-deps/
make
sudo make install
cd ~/kde4.build
mkdir docbook
cd docbooj

Qt/Mac Open Source Edition

Get the Qt/Mac source code from http://qt.nokia.com/downloads/sdk-mac-os-cpp

The latest version has QtDBus and should work with KDE for Mac. Get it here: http://download.qt.nokia.com/qtsdk/qt-sdk-mac-opensource-2010.04.dmg

(statement make by entriken and unverified 2010-08-20)

CMake

Get the latest CMake from http://www.cmake.org/cmake/resources/software.html#latest and install:

cd ~/kde4.build
curl http://www.cmake.org/files/v2.8/cmake-2.8.2.tar.gz -O
tar xfz cmake-*.tar.gz
cd cmake-*
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde4-deps
make all
sudo make install

Building kdelibs

kdelibs must be checked out of svn locally to be built:

cd ~/kde4.build
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

Information about getting and compiling the dependencies can be found at Getting_Started/Build (pages are Linux focused, but can be useful)
