jinx Registered Member Posts 8 Karma 0 OS	Unable to build kde 4.4.2 on slackware... Tue Apr 20, 2010 1:31 pm I'm trying upgrade to the latest version of KDE. At the moment there is version 4.2.4 so I'm trying 4.4.2, but I'm running in an error which I don't get at all... I'm not sure whats missing. [root@sys /tmp/kdelibs-4.4.2]$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH='/mnt' -- Found Qt-Version 4.6.2 (using /usr/bin/qmake) -- Found X11: /usr/lib/libX11.so -- Building kdelibs... -- Phonon Version: 4.3.0 -- Found the KDE4 kconfig_compiler preprocessor: /tmp/kdelibs-4.4.2/bin/./kconfig_compiler.shell -- Found automoc4: /usr/bin/automoc4 -- Strigi API needs 'signed char' CMake Error at cmake/modules/MacroEnsureOutOfSourceBuild.cmake:17 (MESSAGE): kdelibs requires an out of source build. Please create a separate build directory and run 'cmake path_to_kdelibs [options]' there. Call Stack (most recent call first): CMakeLists.txt:110 (macro_ensure_out_of_source_build) -- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred! Does anyone have an idea whats the issue!?

KDELibs as stated by the error message requires an out-of-source build. This means using a seperate build directory. KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]

Thu Apr 22, 2010 7:05 am Assuming your copy of the kdelibs source is located at /tmp/kdelibs-source/ then you need to create /tmp/kdelibs-source/build, change to that directory, then run CMake as follows: Code: Select all `cmake .. <normal arguments>` Where <normal arguments> is "-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX:PATH='/mnt'" in your case KDE Sysadmin [img]content/bcooksley_sig.png[/img]
