| − | [http://developer.kde.org/build/trunk.html the old KDE developer pages]. | |
| − | This topic shows one way that works. It does not intend to explain the obvious background behind it.

| − | == Build CMake ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | CMake is the build system tool used in KDE4. It replaced the autotools and libtool based system used in previous versions of KDE due to cross platform and performance issues.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Your operating system may provide CMake as an optional package. Check to see if there is a package of cmake 2.4.3 or better available and if so install that. If not, then you can download CMake from the [http://cmake.org/HTML/Download.html CMake download page] and build from source following the instructions below.
| |
| − | | |
| − | The default prefix is {{path|/usr/local}}, make sure {{path|/usr/local/bin}} is in your <tt>$PATH</tt>.
| |
| − | | |
| − | cd
| |
| − | tar zxf cmake-2.4.5.tar.gz
| |
| − | mkdir cmake-build
| |
| − | cd cmake-build
| |
| − | ../cmake-2.4.5/bootstrap
| |
| − | make
| |
| − | sudo make install
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Build Qt ==
| |
| − | cd ~/qt-copy && ./apply_patches && \
| |
| − | ./configure -qt-gif -no-exceptions -debug -fast \
| |
| − | -prefix $QTDIR -qdbus && make && make install
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Build kdelibs ==
| |
| − | cd
| |
| − | mkdir kdelibs-build
| |
| − | cd kdelibs-build
| |
| − | cmakekde ../kdelibs
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Install Additional CMake Modules ===
| |
| − | | |
| − | There are additional CMake modules in kdelibs that are necessary for building KDE applications. To install them:
| |
| − | cd
| |
| − | cd kdelibs/cmake/modules
| |
| − | cmake .
| |
| − | make install
| |
| − | | |
| − | You may need to do the last step as root (e.g. using su or sudo), depending on your system setup.
| |
| − | | |
| − | === Troubleshooting ===
| |
| − | If you have problems compiling kdelibs, first make sure the following commands can be executed: aclocal, autoconf, autoheader, gcc, g++, pkg-config.
| |
| − | | |
| − | {{tip|If you get "Could NOT find GIF", install the devel package of <tt>libungif</tt> (the actual name may vary between operating systems).}}
| |
| − | | |
| − | If the problems persist, try the make-option <tt>--keep-going</tt>
| |
| − | | |
| − | == 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
| |
| − | | |
| − | == 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 kdebase:
| |
| − | * Make sure you have the <tt>libxss headers</tt> installed. (Usually you got undefined references on xscreensaver objects if you haven't those headers)
| |
| − | * <tt>which meinproc</tt> has to deliver {{path|/home/kde-devel/kde/bin/meinproc}}
| |
| − | * if cmakekde cannot find the path of kdepimlibs, edit the file /home/kde-devel/kdebase-build/CMakeCache.txt and manually set KDEPIMLIBS_INCLUDE_DIR:PATH=/home/kde-devel/kdepimlibs-build
| |
| − | * if you get an error saying "Please set the following variables: X11_XTest_LIB (ADVANCED)", install the devel package of <tt>Xtst</tt>. On some systems, this is packaged separately from <tt>xext</tt> and called <tt>x11proto-xext-dev</tt> or <tt>libxtst-dev</tt>. You may also need to remove the CMakeCache.txt file in the build dir after installing the package.
| |
| − | | |
| − | == Success! ==
| |
| − | | |
| − | You are now ready to start building other svn modules in the same fashion as you built kdebase, running and testing KDE4 or writing your own patches and applications.
| |
| − | | |
| − | See the [[Getting Started/Set up KDE 4 for development|Starting a KDE4 Environment and Applications]] tutorial for how to start working on your new KDE4 installation.
