I wish to compile KTorrent 3.0 from SVN. Is this possible to put some howto on http://ktorrent.org/index.php?page=downloads page?

It is pretty simple :

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/ex ... k/ktorrent
cd ktorrent
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/prefix/of/kde4/installation ..
make
sudo make install

I'll put it in the FAQ

What is the default path to the "/path/to/prefix/of/kde4/installation"? I am using KDE4 installed on Ubuntu 7.10 (Kubuntu). I tried /usr/bin/kde4 and that was not the default folder.

Thanks.

Code: Select all

$ echo $(`locate kde4-config | head -n1` --prefix)

For me it gives (but I'm using Gentoo):

Code: Select all

athantor@athantor ~ % echo $(`locate kde4-config | head -n1` --prefix)
/usr/kde/4.0
athantor@athantor ~ %

HTH.

kubuntu is /usr/lib/kde4

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4
CMake Error: The source directory "/home/user/ktorrent/build" does not appear to contain CMakeLists.txt.
Specify --help for usage, or press the help button on the CMake GUI.

The instructions on the FAQ page for KDE4 users compiling the latest version did not work as seen above. Please advise/update.

Remove instructions on the FAQ page:
mkdir build
cd build

The below is the output after removing those instructions:
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc
-- Check for working C compiler: /usr/bin/gcc -- works

Don't forget the ".." at the end of the cmake line. The files for it are in the ktorrent directory, and you're in ktorrent/build.

Edit:

Also, you need to make sure you have the following packages installed:

libgmp3-dev
libphonon-dev
libphonon4
cmake
kdelibs5-dev
kdelibs5
kdelibs5-data
kde-icons-oxygen
kde4libs-bin
kdebase-bin-kde4
kdebase-data-kde4
kdebase-runtime
kdebase-runtime-bin-kde4
kdebase-runtime-data
kdebase-runtime-data-common

I think installing kdebase-dev-kde4 will install all of those with kde in the name, but it will also install a bunch of other stuff you don't need.

Thanks! But that didn't fix it as seen below:

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/lib/kde4 ..
CMake Error: ERROR: cmake/modules/FindKDE4Internal.cmake not found in /home/user/.kde4/share/apps;/usr/lib/kde4/share/kde4/apps

I am also running Kubuntu Hardy with KDE4.

Here is apt-get trying to install lots of files just to get KTorrent 3.0.x to work:

It tried to install these but some of the programs are not compatible with each other or not found. See the error below:

Failed to fetch http://us.archive.ubuntu.com/ubuntu/poo ... 1_i386.deb 404 Not Found [IP: 91.189.88.31 80]
E: Unable to fetch some archives, maybe run apt-get update or try with --fix-missing?

Well, you definitely need those -dev packages. They have the header files needed to link against those libraries.

Don't know why you're getting that error, I'm running basically the same thing as you and don't have any problems. Try again later?

Yep, I will have to just wait until this bug fixes itself on both the KTorrent end and Kubuntu Hardy end. This will probably take about two months of waiting though.

If your only problem is that 404 error you should be able to just run an apt-get update and then try again... don't really think there are any general bugs, as it's working for me.

George, do you happen to know this too. When i have the dev version installed, and i do an svn up and install it again, all the plugins and toolbars are gone. I seem to be only able to fix this by fully checking out ktorrent again.
Is there another fix?

I haven't encountered this problem, and I constantly install newer versions.

Hmm, it seems that a make clean is the cause of this, does that make sense?

Not really
