I tried to get the 2.7 version

Sun Jan 19, 2014 6:20 pm
following
http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Building
with the aim to build kexi 2.7

"The latest stable Calligra version is 2.7.5.
It can be downloaded as single archive file from http://download.kde.org/stable/calligra ... 7.5.tar.xz "

I download and unpack as repertory calligra-2.7.5 in repertory ~/kde4/src, then open a terminal, navigate to the downloaded repertory...where there is no initrepo script

"leleu@leleu-portable ~ $ cd kde4/src/calligra-2.7.5/
leleu@leleu-portable ~/kde4/src/calligra-2.7.5 $ ./initrepo.sh
bash: ./initrepo.sh: Aucun fichier ou dossier de ce type
leleu@leleu-portable ~/kde4/src/calligra-2.7.5 $ "

where is my error ?

Hi Robert. I am glad you're building. I just improved the section: http://community.kde.org/Calligra/Build ... le_Version

So you have two options. You apparently used the first, what's smaller download but wouldn't let you to update the code quickly. I recommend you the second option unless you have really good reason not to go this way.

For the 1st option you do not have any initrepo.sh script to run.

Thanks to Jaroslav. I try later

Meanwhile I found in http://linuxg.net/how-to-install-callig ... -15-14-13/ the ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports which I added, and now synaptic shows 1:2.7.5 versions for calligra applications, including kexi, so I kill my 2.7.2 to-morrow

So I just installed 2.7.5 and I use it for some urgent updates to my database. I come back later to the use of the compilation.

And will have now a pause

Since the ppa:kubuntu-ppa/backports delivers Kexi 2.7.5 the incentive to build it disappears

And I found how to run project neon and kexi 2.8 (the trick had presumably something to see to my left-handed mouse). Unfortunately the KDE environment seems to preclude the use of Musescore (a music editor) a daily companion...... so I stay running 2.7.5

However if there are some special tests to do under 2.8 I'll be available on request.

Robert, nice to see Kexi 2.7.5 works for you now.
Regarding the Musescore app, please look at http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started ... ute_to_KDE:

"After (sudo apt-get update) you can simply install the nightly package of whichever modules you want to work on. The packages are named project-neon-<git/svn module name>. The packages are installed in /opt/project-neon/ and won't affect your stable KDE install. "

So I guess you do not need to replace your KDE workspace with the very new version, but only the apps you prefer to have bleeding edge. You can install Kexi (2.8+) from neon alongside with older Kexi.

Please note, I am not user of (K)Ubuntu but openSUSE.
