KDE 4 is in beta3 stage already and im just wondering when we could see a some ktorrent alpha/beta build for kde4 testing?
i saw some version in the svn trunk well but i have no idea how to install it. I had no prob getting kde4 running on my machine and it looked nicee!
p.s. lol i looked how to install kopete for kde4 and that was way confusing.

Installing is actually extremely simple, provided you have all the header files which are needed and cmake :

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/ex ... k/ktorrent
cd ktorrent
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR ..
make
sudo make install
ktorrent

Obviously $KDEDIR needs to be set to where KDE4 is installed (/usr/lib/kde4 probably in kubuntu)

As for alpha build of ktorrent, seeing that I'm planning to release 2.2.3 next weekend. it might not be a bad idea to release 3.0alpha1 at the same time.

Currently things are working OK, some things are still missing, but it is useable.

Is it easy to install both kde3 and kde4 svn version at the same time?

Provided you have some environment variables setup properly, it is possible.

I have been using a separate user account for the KDE4 stuff, but it should be possible to run as the same user.

EDIT: seeing that there will be a string freeze for 2.2.3, the release will be one week later

When i do
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR
i get

Code: Select all

CMake Error: The source directory "/home/annemarie/svn/ktorrent/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

Don't forget the two .'s at the end of that line (they're easy to miss).

Code: Select all

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR ..

I thought it was an expression... like this one.

Now i get this:

Code: Select all

$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4 ..-- Found Qt-Version 4.3.2-- Found X11: /usr/lib/libX11.so-- Found KDE 4.0 include dir: /usr/lib/kde4/include-- Found KDE 4 library dir: /usr/lib/kde4/lib-- Found KDE4 kconfig_compiler preprocessor: /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kconfig_compiler-- Found KDE4 automoc: /usr/lib/kde4/bin/kde4automocCMake Error: GMP_DIR is not set.  It must be set to the directory containingGMPConfig.cmake in order to use GMP.-- Configuring done

Make won't run on this, any ideas?

Download this file :

http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE/kdelibs ... e?view=log

And put it in $KDEDIR/share/apps/cmake/modules

This file was only added 10 days ago, so it is probably not in the latest KDE4 beta release.

This worked for me, thanks George!

I'm also having a bit of trouble building the ktorrent beta for kde4. I was able to fix the first few errors by grabbing cmake files following the steps you mentioned but now it seems I am missing qdbusxml2cpp. Where can I grab that?

I solved it. just did a sudo apt-get build-dep kde4base.

I installed the latest version of kde4 for kubuntu, and now its stranded at:

Code: Select all

martijn@martijn-laptop:~/svn/ktorrent-3.0beta1/build$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix/of/kde4/installation ..

CMake Error: ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in /home/martijn/.kde4/share/apps;/usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/apps

Anyone know what todo? Putting FindKDE4Internal.cmake in /home/martijn/.kde4/share/apps nor /usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/app seems to solve this.

EDIT
I fixed it by installing kde4-devel, i only cannot seem to load the plugins in ktorrent. Kbuildsycoca does not seem to improve this.

Try kbuildsycoca4
