Hey girls and guys, I'm following the <a href="http://www.davidrevoy.com/article193/guide-building-krita-on-linux-for-cats">tutorial of David Revoy</a> on installing krita 3.0 and I got struck at the step of getting libraries and dependencies. After pasting the list of libraries to install I got the message package gettext-kde not found, or something like that (the output was in Italian and I don't know the original form of the phrase) and it apparently makes impossible to continue the installation.
I' working with a Desktop with Ubuntu 16.04 LTS 32bit, details follow:
RAM 2.0 GB, Intel® Core™2 Duo CPU E6750 @ 2.66GHz × 2, Graphics Gallium 0.4 on AMD CEDAR (DRM 2.43.0, LLVM 3.8.0).
And, first of all, the OS is yet installed on a wiped out disk. It's one hour old. No old krita or calligra packages hiding anywhere.
Gettdex-kde isn't even in synaptic. How could I find it? Or, is it not necessary and the errors are a consequence of something else?

Er... gettext-kde isn't something that exists on Ubuntu, either the 32 or 64 bit versions. So I guess that's an error in Deevad's instructions. Just omit it and try again.

Thank you, I went ahead, but I got struck anyway on the step of building with CMAKE

I hope that Italian language won't make you hard to understand that the absence of an ECM package, impossible to find compromises the installation. Suggestions?

I got the same error on FreeBSD 12 (aka current). Where I'm found this ECM packect? I'm try to install gmp-ecm but it's not work
ECM it's means Ellipical Curve Mathematical functions??

extra-cmake-modules -- https://api.kde.org/ecm/index.html

I am stuck with the same problem. Could you elaborate on the suggested solution?

You're missing one or more development packages. Depending on your distribution, they will have different names, so I cannot tell you exactly the name of the package to look for, just it's generic name.

Thanks for the reply!
The issue resolved when I build ext_kwindowsystem (I try to build Krita on Windows)
Without that, the build of Krita with cmake fails with the same error message that ECMconfig.cmake is unkown

That's because if you're following the official guide for building on windows, the command to build kwindowsystem transitively builds its KDE frameworks dependencies, which starts with extra-cmake-modules.
