Hello, I'm very insterested into building krita, to test to code a few ideas I have, and to (as least trying to) fix bugs I may run into, but I'm currently failing at building it correctly. I'm running Fedora 20 with kernel 3.12.6-300.fc20.x86_64. I selected tag v2.7.90 in the git tree and the creative product set with CMAKE. The actual building step works fine, but launching the program is buggy. I'm under gnome but I have no issue launching krita from the fedora repos.

It firstly pops up a dialog telling “The calligra LittleCMS color management plugin is not installed. Krita will now quit.”
What I don't understand is that I installed all x86_64 packages for krita :

Code: Select all

% repoquery --installed --search lcms
argyllcms-0:1.6.2-1.fc20.x86_64
lcms-libs-0:1.19-10.fc20.i686
lcms-libs-0:1.19-10.fc20.x86_64
lcms2-0:2.5-2.fc20.i686
lcms2-0:2.5-2.fc20.x86_64
lcms2-devel-0:2.5-2.fc20.x86_64
lcms2-utils-0:2.5-2.fc20.x86_64

Secondly, it sometimes plain crash after this step but maybe this is because krita is not exiting cleanly with the former dialog.

Code: Select all

KCrash: Application 'krita' crashing...
KCrash: Attempting to start /usr/libexec/kde4/drkonqi from kdeinit

or

Code: Select all

Has someone built krita with fedora/redhat/centos now ? Even though you aren't, could you help me ? Many thanks in advance !

I built krita following this guide: http://www.davidrevoy.com/article193/bu ... x-for-cats
It says to check with your distribution package-manager that no Calligra and Krita packages are installed, so if you have Krita from Fedora repos it may be an issue.

Thank you very much for the reply and the link to deevad's tutorial. I already knew git and cmake but I miss the $kbuildsycoca4 command. That's too stupid…

Thank you very much !
