When trying to install 2.9 on Ubuntu 17.10 as a regular user I get the following error(s)

I used cmake as follows

Code: Select all

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=`kde4-config --prefix` -DDBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR=/home/llist/kdedev -Wno-dev -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_MP3Tunes=OFF


No errors were reported during cmake or make

My environment variables are as follows

Code: Select all

export PATH=$HOME/kdedev/bin:$PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$HOME/kdedev/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/kdedev/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS
export XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/kdedev/share:$XDG_DATA_HOME
export KDEDIR=$HOME/kdedev
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$HOME/kdedev/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS


You have to run make install with sudo as it needs to be able to write to system directories.

You won't need sudo if you want to install it in your $HOME, but you need to use the right prefix:

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR

Awesome,
Thanks

Almost there.

ah, to write in a /usr/lib/ folder you do need sudo rights, and that is what is requested in the line highlighted by the error.

So there is no switch/flag to use $HOME/kdedev/lib as the lib folder?

not a switch or flag, but define your environment variables pointing to use $HOME and reload

My env variables are set as per my post above

Code: Select all

echo $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
/home/llist/kdedev/lib:

You have some strange parameters in your Cmake line, try removing this part:

Code: Select all

 -DDBUS_INTERFACES_INSTALL_DIR=/home/llist/kdedev -Wno-dev

Setting LIB_INSTALL_DIR should do the trick, although that should already be set to something suitable relative to CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX.

Running cmake as follows now

Code: Select all

cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR -Wno-dev -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=OFF -DWITH_MP3Tunes=OFF

and getting a different error for 'make install'

could it be you are in the wrong subdirectory when building?

Possible, but I don't think so.

• Created build directory
• Set my environment as per above post
• cd to build directory
• cmake
• make
• make install

I've just tested this here, still works for me.

What does "echo $KDEDIR" return?
What does "grep -F CMakeCache.txt" executed from the build dir return?
