<h1>THIS DOCUMENT DESCRIBES HOW YOU CAN COMPILE KDE WHEN USING CVS</h1>
|
|
|
|
<p>(If you use source tarballs, you can skip "make -f Makefile.cvs" and
|
|
should use "make distclean" instead of "make cvs-clean")
|
|
|
|
<p><h3>What you need</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Make sure you get the following stuff from CVS:
|
|
|
|
<p><ul><li>qt-copy (This is qt-3.3.2)
|
|
<li>arts
|
|
<li>tdelibs
|
|
<li>tdebase (strongly recommended but not strictly necessary)
|
|
<li>any other package you are interested in
|
|
</ul>
|
|
|
|
<p>It is important that you compile AND INSTALL the above packages in the
|
|
above order.
|
|
|
|
<p>Further you will need GNU make, autoconf 2.52, automake 1.5 and
|
|
a working C++ compiler (eg. gcc 2.95.2)
|
|
|
|
<p><h3>Preparations</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>Before you start you must decide two things:
|
|
|
|
<p>1) Where do you want to have Qt installed? Qt is a bit lame in that it
|
|
basically installs itself in its own source-tree, but symlinks are your
|
|
friend. E.g you could link /usr/local/lib/qt3 to where you keep your Qt
|
|
source. Qt libs then end up in /usr/local/lib/qt3/lib.
|
|
|
|
<p>2) Where do you want to have KDE installed. A good candidate is /usr/local/kde
|
|
|
|
<p>Make sure you do (if using sh, ksh, or bash):
|
|
<pre>export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>With csh or tcsh the following is more appropriate:
|
|
|
|
<pre>setenv KDEDIR /usr/local/kde</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>Now you want to make sure that Qt and KDE libraries are picked up correctly.
|
|
|
|
<p>On systems that respond to environment variables something similar to the
|
|
following is appropriate:
|
|
|
|
<p>export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib
|
|
|
|
<p>On systems whose diety of choice is ldconfig, try:
|
|
<pre>ldconfig -m $KDEDIR/lib
|
|
ldconfig -m $QTDIR/lib</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>You probably also want to add $KDEDIR/bin and $QTDIR/bin to your path.
|
|
|
|
<p>See http://www.kde.org/kde2-and-trinity.html for tips about setting up
|
|
KDE 3.0 next to KDE 2.x.
|
|
|
|
<p><h3>Preparing CVS modules</h3>
|
|
<p>
|
|
All KDE modules require an "admin" sub-directory. You can create it by
|
|
making a symbolic link from kde-common/admin, make sure to check out the
|
|
kde-common module.
|
|
<p>
|
|
Example:<br>
|
|
<pre>
|
|
cd tdelibs
|
|
ln -s ../kde-common/admin
|
|
</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p><h3>Compiling</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>The magic sequence to compile & install a package is:
|
|
<pre>gmake -f Makefile.cvs
|
|
./configure --enable-debug
|
|
gmake
|
|
gmake install </pre>
|
|
|
|
<p>(On Linux, GNU make is the default make, and gmake in the above commands
|
|
can be replaced with make).
|
|
|
|
<p>For Qt the magic sequence is:
|
|
|
|
<pre>./configure -debug -shared -qt-gif -thread -sm -system-zlib -system-libpng -system-jpeg
|
|
make</pre>
|
|
|
|
<p><h3>Common problems</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>One of the biggest problems is picking up the correct version of Qt,
|
|
especially if your system has more version of Qt installed. Be aware
|
|
that information about library paths gets saved in the "config.cache"
|
|
file, "Makefile.in" as well as "Makefile" files. So it can be that after
|
|
some struggle to get QTDIR/KDEDIR setup correctly your setup is actually
|
|
correct, but old -incorrect- settings are still lying around.
|
|
|
|
<p>The best thing to do in such a case is to do a "make cvs-clean". This
|
|
removes all files which aren't stored in CVS. You can then start all over
|
|
again with "makefile -f Makefile.cvs". Make sure you don't have any important
|
|
files lying around in your source tree any more, they will be deleted!
|
|
|
|
|
|
<p><h3>Problems?</h3>
|
|
|
|
<p>See <a href="http://www.kde.org/compilationfaq.html">http://www.kde.org/compilationfaq.html</a> for common build problems and their solution.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you encounter _LINK_ problems you are probably doing something wrong.
|
|
Do a "make cvs-clean" and start from scratch, usually this solves the problem.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you encounter missing include files, especially if the files start with
|
|
a 'q', you probably have not setup your QTDIR correct or have the wrong
|
|
version of Qt.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you encounter compile errors after updating from CVS, check whether you
|
|
need to update tdelibs as well. If the problems persists, wait a few hours,
|
|
usually compile errors are fixed shortly after they have been introduced.
|
|
|
|
<p>If you still have problems read the kde-devel@kde.org mailinglist and/or
|
|
post your problem there. You can subscribe by sending mail to
|
|
kde-devel-request@kde.org with "subscribe" in the subject.
|
|
|
|
<p>Have fun!

<p>Cheers,<br>
