Building, running and Valgrinding KDE 4.2 svn from source
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
It is recommended to make a new user ("kde4", maybe) to do the
building, and do all the following as that user. This means it can't
mess up any existing KDE sessions/settings.
Prelims (note, needed for both building and running KDE4):
# Change these as you like; but "-g -O" is known to be a good
# speed vs debuginfo-accuracy tradeoff for Valgrind
export CFLAGS="-g -O"
export CXXFLAGS="-g -O"
export KDEINST=$HOME/InstKdeSvn ## change as you like
export PATH=$KDEINST/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEINST/lib:$KDEINST/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
unset XDG_DATA_DIRS # to avoid seeing kde3 files from /usr
unset XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$KDEINST/lib/pkgconfig:$KDEINST/lib64/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
# else kdelibs' config detection of strigi screws up
Check these carefully before proceeding.
env | grep FLAGS
env | grep PATH
env | grep XDG
env | grep KDEINST
The final installation will be placed in the directory $KDEINST.
As a general comment, it is particularly important to read the output
of the cmake runs (below), as these tell you of missing libraries that
may screw up the build. After a cmake run, you may want to install
some supporting libs (through yast, etc) before re-running cmake. The
"rm -f CMakeCache.txt" ensures cmakes starts afresh.
Getting the sources
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
# note also that this assumes that the KDE 4.2 sources are
# acquired from the KDE trunk; that is, this is happening
# prior to the 4.2 release.
# note this takes ages, unless you are fortunate enough to have
# a gazigabit-per-second network connection
# checking out merely "trunk" is a really bad idea
# due to the enormous amount of unnecessary stuff fetched.
#
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport trunk_kdesupport
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE trunk_KDE
# This alone soaks up about 2.5GB of disk space.
# You'll also need to snarf a copy of qt-x11-opensource-src-4.4.3.tar.bz2
# (md5 = 00e00c6324d342a7b0d8653112b4f08c)
Building Qt
~~~~~~~~~~~
First build qt-4.4.3 with QtDBus support and some other kind of
support (can't remember what. jpeg?). These are both added by
default provided the relevant packages are installed. Check the Qt
configure output to be sure.
bzip2 -dc qt-x11-opensource-src-4.4.3.tar.bz2 | tar xvf -
cd qt-x11-opensource-src-4.4.3
emacs mkspecs/common/g++.conf
# change QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE and QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG both to be -g -O
# optionally, in src/corelib/tools/qvector.h, for the defns of
# QVectorData and QVectorTypedData, change
#if defined(QT_ARCH_SPARC) && defined(Q_CC_GNU) && defined(__LP64__) \
&& defined(QT_BOOTSTRAPPED)
# to "if 1 || defined ..."
# twice (else get strange memcheck errors with QVector on ppc. Not
# sure if this is a qt bug (possibly), a gcc bug (unlikely) or a
# valgrind bug (unlikely)). I don't think this is necessary on x86
# or x86_64.
echo yes | ./configure -platform linux-g++-64 -prefix $KDEINST
# NB: change that to linux-g++-32 for a 32 bit build
# check configure output before proceeding, to ensure that
# qt will built with support for the following:
#
# QtDBus module ....... yes (run-time)
# GIF support ......... plugin
# TIFF support ........ plugin (system)
# JPEG support ........ plugin (system)
# PNG support ......... yes (system)
# MNG support ......... plugin (system)
# zlib support ........ system
# OpenSSL support ..... yes (run-time)
#
# If some of these are missing ("... no"), then it means you need
# to install the relevant supporting libs and redo the qt configure
# (make confclean, then redo configure)
make -j 2
make install
# this takes approx 1 hour on a dual processor 2.5GHz PPC970
# check that this installed correctly
# - qmake is in $KDEINST/bin and is linked against stuff in
# $KDEINST/lib
# - ditto designer and linguist
# - check qmake, designer, linguist actually start up/run
Building KDE
~~~~~~~~~~~~
The basic deal is
for each package, use a separate source and build dir cd to the build
dir (can be anything)
then
# note that LIB_SUFFIX must be "" for 32 bit builds and "64" for 64 bit builds
rm -f CMakeCache.txt && cmake /path/to/source/tree/for/this/package -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEINST -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DLIB_SUFFIX=64 -DQT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE=$KDEINST/bin/qmake
# check output, particularly that it has the right Qt
make
# make -j 2 quite often screws up
make install
Packages should be built in the order:
kdesupport
kdelibs
kdepimlibs
kdebase-runtime
kdebase-workspace
kdebase
This gives a working basic KDE. Then build the rest in any order, perhaps:
kdegraphics
kdeadmin
kdeutils
kdenetwork
kdepim
So the actual stuff to do is:
cd ~
mkdir build
cd build
mkdir kdesupport
cd kdesupport
rm -f CMakeCache.txt && cmake ~/trunk_kdesupport \

Running KDE
~~~~~~~~~~~
Make sure dbus is running (pstree -p <myusername> | grep dbus)
If not running:
eval `dbus-launch --auto-syntax`
probably best to ensure there's only one instance, to avoid confusion
You need PATH, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, XDG_DATA_DIRS and XDG_CONFIG_DIRS set as above
Then run startkde in an xterm on the new X server
