Hi,

downloaded calligra-latest.tar.gz of 7/6 and using directory structure as per https://community.kde.org/Calligra/Buil ... nded_setup I receive however

Code: Select all

-- Found Qt-Version 4.8.6 (using /usr/bin/qmake-qt4)
-- Found Qt-Version 4.8.6 (using /usr/bin/qmake-qt4)
CMake Error at /usr/share/kde4/apps/cmake/modules/MacroEnsureOutOfSourceBuild.cmake:17 (MESSAGE):
  Compiling Calligra inside the source directory is not possible.  Please

Call Stack (most recent call first):
  CMakeLists.txt:189 (macro_ensure_out_of_source_build)


found some googles, but did not seem relevant ones.

What else should I test ?

thanks

Hi Robert,
Short answer: please build in a so called build dir, not in the source dir.

Long answer: Building any software inside of the source dir is not a good practice (unless you're very well paid to do so... people are paid to do many strange things ).
So we've added a special check. Please make sure you're in the build dir; from https://community.kde.org/Calligra/Buil ... d_Calligra there are:

Code: Select all

cd $HOME/kde4/build/calligra
[...]
cmake ...
[...]
make install

Thanks


I just followed «Option 2: download a repository tarball» which landed in my home, and unpacked same place as ~/calligra

now I've added the required kde4 arborescence

I guess I should put something in /home/leleu/kde4/src/ but what exactjy ? the whole unpacked calligra directory, or its content ?

and then shall indeed be in a terminal of the empty HOME/kde4/build/calligra to run cmake.... ?

So I have unpacked as /home/leleu/kde4/src/calligra/ and tried to compile....and cmake doesn't find Qt4 which I just reintalled (4.8.6) to be sure

Code: Select all

leleu@leleu-portable:~/kde4/build/calligra > cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kde4/inst $HOME/kde4/src/calligra       -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo

@Robert please install as noted:
https://community.kde.org/Calligra/Buil ... pendencies

Qt 4.7.0 or newer (recommended) with development files (headers, etc.)

To get rid from all the files in my old Mint17, I now try with a new Mint17 Rebecca.
I noticed that
«On opensuse the development package is called libkde4-devel; on Ubuntu and Debian it is called kdelibs5-dev.»
However when I tried to install this kdelibs5-dev the relevant internet address (91.189.91.15 80) is 404.....

after googling I eventually found that the culprit is linux-libc-dev_3.13.0-54.91

I succeeded to install this lib (upgrading the package list).
