       you can then run ./kdesrc-build
       you can then run ./kdesrc-build
      these are the ports packages that i have installed thus far.. if you get a error about libtoolize you need to use the glibtoolize in the /opt/local/bin/ folder
      you would achieve this with these commands
      sudo mv /usr/local/bin/libtoolize /usr/local/bin/xlibtoolize
      sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/glibtoolize /usr/local/bin/libtoolize
      once that piece compiles you will need to use the native libtoolize so
      sudo rm -r /usr/local/bin/libtoolize
      sudo mv /usr/local/bin/xlibtoolize /usr/local/bin/libtoolize
      and continue compiling..

    Revision as of 02:48, 14 July 2012

    Introduction

    The process described here is one of many ways to set up a KDE development environment on Mac OS X. It sets up a MacPorts installation to provide the required dependencies and uses this to then build a KDE trunk development environment. This approach has the big advantage of using MacPorts to build, install and keep updated the base system and libraries required with minimal effort and without touching the base OSX system install.

    It also gives you the choice of installing and running the latest stable KDE SC for everyday use while still developing on the unstable trunk.

    The main disadvantage is compiling all the MacPort dependencies takes longer than binary installs, but the ease of maintenance is worth it.

    OS X for Linux developers

    One point to remember is that OS X is a customised version of BSD, so while it feels fairly familiar to a Linux developer, there are the occasional banana skins to slip you up.

    The OS X filesystem, despite appearances, is by default not case sensitive, so KDE == kde == kDe.

    It would appear all bash customisations need to go in ~/.profile rather than ~/.bashrc.

    My pet hate is how useless Finder is for file management, particularly with hidden .files. You will be glad when you get Dolphin and Krusader installed :-)

    Install XCode and X11.

    Install Apple's XCode developer tools either from your OS X install disks or download from http://developer.apple.com/technologies/xcode.html.

    If you are running Tiger you will also need to install Apple's X11 from your OS X Install disks. Snow Leopard and Leopard come with it installed by default.

    Once installed, perform an OS X Software Update to ensure your system is fully up-to-date and reboot if required.

    MacPorts.

    "The MacPorts Project is an open-source community initiative to design an easy-to-use system for compiling, installing, and upgrading either command-line, X11 or Aqua based open-source software on the Mac OS X operating system."

    MacPorts installs everything into /opt/local and so doesn't interfere with the base OS X install or any other local installs you have. This enables you to control the environment search hierarchy for different purposes.

    Applications installed via MacPorts can be run from the command line or from the /Applications/MacPorts folder in the finder.

    Install MacPorts.

    It is recommended to initially install MacPorts using the package installer as this will automatically set-up your required $PATH.

    Using MacPorts.

    MacPorts should be very easy to use for anyone used to Linux-style package management.

    Update MacPorts and the list of available ports, you should do this first whenever you work with the port command:

     sudo port selfupdate
    

    List all available packages, this will be very long:

     port list
    

    List all installed packages:

     port installed
    

    Search for a package:

     port search <package>
    

    Show information about a package:

     port info <package>
    

    Install a package, the -v is needed to see the build output:

     sudo port -v install <package>
    

    List the contents of an installed package

     port contents <package>
    

    List all installed packages with available updates:

     port outdated
    

    Upgrade a package and uninstall the old version (omit the -u to just disable the old version, useful when the new version may break things, note however that keeping the old version around may confuse the KDE build):

     sudo port -u -v upgrade <package>
    

    Switch to a different installed version of a package:

     sudo port -v activate <package> <version>
    

    Upgrade all outdated packages with new versions and uninstall the old versions:

     sudo port -u -v upgrade outdated
    

    Upgrade all installed packages and uninstall the old versions:

     sudo port -u -v upgrade installed
    

    Uninstall a package:

     sudo port uninstall <package>
    

    See the MacPorts documentation for more advanced options.

    GUI frontends are available if you prefer.

    Installing the base requirements

    You can choose to find and install each requirement on your own, or if you have less time and plenty of disk space you can just install the stable KDE SC and let it pull all the dependencies in for you.

    If you have plenty of time, just choose to install one of the major KDE packages and leave it running for 24-48 hours, kdesdk4 seems the obvious choice:

     sudo port -v install kdesdk4
     sudo port -v install dialog
     sudo perl -MCPAN -e 'install Bundle::LWP'
    
    

    This will resolve all the dependencies and compile and install everything you need including development tools like subversion and cmake.

    You may prefer to break it up into smaller chunks, although the Qt build will still take a long time.

     sudo port -v install cmake
     sudo port -v install qt4-mac
     sudo port -v install kdelibs4
     etc...
    

    Feel free to install all the modules you later intend to build trunk for to ensure you have all your requirements.

    At time of writing (10 Aug 2010) the following KDE SC 4.4.5 packages were available:

     kdebase4
     kdebase4-runtime
     kdeedu4
     kdegames4
     kdegraphics4
     kdelibs4
     kdemultimedia4
     kdenetwork4
     kdepim4
     kdepimlibs4
     kdesdk4
     kdetoys4
     kdeutils4
     amarok
     digikam
     kipi-plugins
     kdesvn
     kdenlive
     kile
     konversation
     krusader
     ktorrent
    

    Before running any KDE apps you need to perform a couple of steps once only (replace $USER with your our username):

     sudo chown -R $USER ~/Library/Preferences/KDE
     sudo launchctl load  -w /Library/LaunchDaemons/org.freedesktop.dbus-system.plist
     launchctl load -w /Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist
    

    The 2nd and 3rd lines start DBUS and configure it to auto-run on every boot. Ignore what the KDE packages say, these are the correct commands needed now as described by the dbus package itself.

    Once this is done you should be able to run the stable apps from /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4 or just search for them using Spotlight.

    You may want to install the following extra packages to enable more features:

     ffmpeg
     polkit-qt
    

    Configure your KDE development environment

    From this point on, the process is very similar to a standard KDE development build using dfaure's scripts. An alternative option might be the kdesrc-build script.

    Configure bash scripts

    Fire up a Terminal and perform the following steps.

    Create a home bin directory and create a new script in it called findup:

     cd ~
     mkdir bin
     vim bin/findup
    

    Copy the following into findup:

    #!/bin/sh
    arg="$1"
    if test -z "$arg"; then exit 1; fi
    while ! test -e "$arg"; do
      cd ..
      if test "$PWD" = "/"; then
        exit 1
      fi
    done
    echo $PWD/$arg
    

    Make findup executable:

     chmod 777 bin/findup
    

    Modify your bash profile with some handy utilities:

     vim ~/.profile
    

    Copy the following into .profile:

    export PATH=~/bin:$PATH
    
    alias ls='ls -AFG'
    
    ###
    ## A script to setup some needed variables and functions for KDE 4 development.
    
    prepend() { [ -d "$2" ] && eval $1=\"$2\$\{$1:+':'\$$1\}\" && export $1 ; }
    
    # This will make the debug output prettier
    export KDE_COLOR_DEBUG=1
    export QTEST_COLORED=1
    
    # Make
    # Tell many scripts how to switch from source dir to build dir:
    export OBJ_REPLACEMENT="s#$KDE_SRC#$KDE_BUILD#"

    Close your Terminal and open a new Terminal to have the .profile changes take effect, you should hopefully not see any error messages.

    Configure svn+ssh

    If using svn+ssh for subversion access, copy your key into ~/.ssh and set its permissions to 400.

    Create KDE directories

    Choose you KDE development base directory where the KDE source, build and installation will be kept. In this example the base directory is ~/kde but it could be anywhere with sufficient space and permissions. Create the following set of directories:

     cd ~
     mkdir kde
     mkdir kde/build
     mkdir kde/home
     mkdir kde/inst
     mkdir kde/src
     mkdir kde/src/branches
     mkdir kde/src/trunk
    

    Configure your KDE environment

    Now install the script that will set up the KDE environment for trunk development:

     vim ~/kde/src/trunk/.my-setup
    

    Copy the following into .my-setup and set BASEDIR as required:

    #Set up base directory to your chosen location
    export BASEDIR=/Users/your-user/kde
    
    #Set up Qt environment
    #Use Qt from MacPorts, change QTDIR if using own version of Qt
    export QTDIR=/opt/local/libexec/qt4-mac
    export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
    
    #Set up KDE environment
    export KDE_BUILD=$BASEDIR/build
    export KDEHOME=$BASEDIR/home/.kde4trunk
    export KDEDIR=$BASEDIR/inst/kde4trunk
    export KDE_SRC=$BASEDIR/src
    export KDETMP=/tmp/kde4trunk-$USER
    export KDEVARTMP=/var/tmp/kde4trunk-$USER
    mkdir -p $KDETMP
    mkdir -p $KDEVARTMP
    export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    prepend PKG_CONFIG_PATH $KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig
    export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib/kde4/plugins
    export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR
    
    export PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES_DIR=$KDEDIR/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyKDE4
    
    export PATH
    export LD_LIBRARY_PATH
    export PKG_CONFIG_PATH
    export QT_PLUGIN_PATH
     
    # CMake
    # Make sure CMake searches the right places.
    
    # Add the MacPorts paths so they take priority over any system versions
    prepend CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH  /opt/local
    prepend CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH /opt/local/lib
    prepend CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH /opt/local/include
    
    # Add the KDE paths so they always take priority
    prepend CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH  $KDEDIR
    prepend CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH $KDEDIR/lib
    prepend CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH $KDEDIR/include
     
    export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
    export CMAKE_LIBRARY_PATH
    export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH
     
    # DBus
    # only set DBUS related variables if you compiled dbus on your own
    # (which is really discouraged). if you use the distro provided dbus,
    # skip this variable. Uncomment it if necessary.
    #export DBUSDIR=$KDEDIR
    #prepend PKG_CONFIG_PATH $DBUSDIR/lib/pkgconfig
     
    # only needed on some strange systems for compiling Qt. do not set
    # it unless you have to.
    #export YACC='byacc -d'
     
    # XDG
    #unset XDG_DATA_DIRS # to avoid seeing kde3 files from /usr
    #unset XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
    

    Finally, change into the trunk directory to activate the environment:

     cd ~/kde/src/trunk
    

    You should see the message:

     Loading /Users/odysseus/kde/src/trunk/.my-setup
    

    Try typing env to see settings similar to:

    BASEDIR=/Users/odysseus/kde

    PYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES_DIR=/Users/odysseus/kde/inst/kde4trunk/lib/python2.6/site-packages/PyKDE4
    

    Checkout and Build KDE

    Next cd into the source directory and checkout kdesupport:

     cd ~/kde/src/trunk
     svn co svn+ssh://[email protected]/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport
    

    Edit 07/2012

    I haven't luck with this method on lion

     I have had best luck by downloading the KDEsrc from their homepage  kdesrc-build 1.15.1 http://kdesrc-build.kde.org/releases/kdesrc-build-1.15.1.php
     once downloaded i placed the kdesrc-build folder in ~/src  when running the . ~/src/kdesrc-build-setup use the default variables
     you can then run ./kdesrc-build
     these are the ports packages that i have installed thus far.. if you get a error about libtoolize you need to use the glibtoolize in the /opt/local/bin/ folder 
    
     you would achieve this with these commands
    
     sudo mv /usr/local/bin/libtoolize /usr/local/bin/xlibtoolize
     sudo ln -s /opt/local/bin/glibtoolize /usr/local/bin/libtoolize
    
     once that piece compiles you will need to use the native libtoolize so
    
     sudo rm -r /usr/local/bin/libtoolize
     sudo mv /usr/local/bin/xlibtoolize /usr/local/bin/libtoolize
    
     and continue compiling..

    If your checkout completes OK, then start compiling:

     cd kdesupport
     cmakekde
    

    This will pause after running the configure step for you to confirm everything is OK. Press enter if you are happy to continue, or ctrl-c to cancel. Later, you can remove this pause/enter by editing the cmakekde command in your .profile.
