1 2 Building, running and Valgrinding KDE 4.2 svn from source 3 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 4 5 It is recommended to make a new user ("kde4", maybe) to do the 6 building, and do all the following as that user. This means it can't 7 mess up any existing KDE sessions/settings. 8 9 Prelims (note, needed for both building and running KDE4): 10 11 # Change these as you like; but "-g -O" is known to be a good 12 # speed vs debuginfo-accuracy tradeoff for Valgrind 13 14 export CFLAGS="-g -O" 15 export CXXFLAGS="-g -O" 16 17 export KDEINST=$HOME/InstKdeSvn ## change as you like 18 export PATH=$KDEINST/bin:$PATH 19 export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEINST/lib:$KDEINST/lib64:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH 20 21 unset XDG_DATA_DIRS # to avoid seeing kde3 files from /usr 22 unset XDG_CONFIG_DIRS 23 24 export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$KDEINST/lib/pkgconfig:$KDEINST/lib64/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH 25 # else kdelibs' config detection of strigi screws up 26 27 Check these carefully before proceeding. 28 29 env | grep FLAGS 30 env | grep PATH 31 env | grep XDG 32 env | grep KDEINST 33 34 The final installation will be placed in the directory $KDEINST. 35 36 As a general comment, it is particularly important to read the output 37 of the cmake runs (below), as these tell you of missing libraries that 38 may screw up the build. After a cmake run, you may want to install 39 some supporting libs (through yast, etc) before re-running cmake. The 40 "rm -f CMakeCache.txt" ensures cmakes starts afresh. 41 42 43 Getting the sources 44 ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ 45 46 # note also that this assumes that the KDE 4.2 sources are 47 # acquired from the KDE trunk; that is, this is happening 48 # prior to the 4.2 release. 49 50 # note this takes ages, unless you are fortunate enough to have 51 # a gazigabit-per-second network connection 52 # checking out merely "trunk" is a really bad idea 53 # due to the enormous amount of unnecessary stuff fetched. 54 # 55 svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdesupport trunk_kdesupport 56 svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE trunk_KDE 57 58 # This alone soaks up about 2.5GB of disk space. 59 # You'll also need to snarf a copy of qt-x11-opensource-src-4.4.3.tar.bz2 60 # (md5 = 00e00c6324d342a7b0d8653112b4f08c) 61 62 63 Building Qt 64 ~~~~~~~~~~~ 65 66 First build qt-4.4.3 with QtDBus support and some other kind of 67 support (can't remember what. jpeg?). These are both added by 68 default provided the relevant packages are installed. Check the Qt 69 configure output to be sure. 70 71 bzip2 -dc qt-x11-opensource-src-4.4.3.tar.bz2 | tar xvf - 72 cd qt-x11-opensource-src-4.4.3 73 74 emacs mkspecs/common/g++.conf 75 # change QMAKE_CFLAGS_RELEASE and QMAKE_CFLAGS_DEBUG both to be -g -O 76 77 # optionally, in src/corelib/tools/qvector.h, for the defns of 78 # QVectorData and QVectorTypedData, change 79 #if defined(QT_ARCH_SPARC) && defined(Q_CC_GNU) && defined(__LP64__) \ 80 && defined(QT_BOOTSTRAPPED) 81 # to "if 1 || defined ..." 82 # twice (else get strange memcheck errors with QVector on ppc.
