Hello all, I tried to compile KDE4 using this howto here. I used xubuntu 6.06 as basis.

There were some minor problems and one that stopped me from continuing:

  • "Become the user kde-devel": The last line of the stuff to put into the terminal has a {CODE} at the end. Although it is close to obvious that this is something with the wiki, it could be also some magic macro.
  • Same in "Build Qt"
  • Build KDElibs

I don't have a cmakekde after compiling cmake. I tried cmake && make and it seemed to work.

The serious problem was that cmake ../kdepimlibs failed because kde-config was not found. I have also no idea what might went wrong because $PATH is not touched by this tutorial and there is also no make install that could install kde-config.

I have one more question: Ubuntu ships already with a dbus. Can I have more than one dbus running at the same time? If not, this might be pointed out here because it might give not as verborse error messages as missing libraries. I had a few of them but this was no big problem. --Axeljaeger 11:28, 10 September 2006 (CEST)
