I'm new to KDE and I'm trying to compile it from source using the guide. I'm using Gentoo and the emerges never worked so I thought I'd try it this way.

Everything has worked ok so far, with only a few files I had to manually edit to tell cmake where to find files, but now I'm completely stuck with the cmakekde for kdebase.

Here is the output:

It looks like this is the error:

Code: Select all

CMake Error at /home/drpoodle/kde/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindKdepimLibs.cmake:33 (include):
  include could not find load file:

I've looked everywhere and I can't find any reference to the file in question, so any help would be much appreciated!

I assume you are building in the correct order?

kdesupport
kdelibs
kdepimlibs
kdebase
kde*

Your problem is just hard to spot in all that output:

CMake Error at /home/drpoodle/kde/share/apps/cmake/modules/FindKdepimLibs.cmake:33 (include):
include could not find load file:

KDEPimLibsDependencies

base depends on pimlibs... as Zarin pointed out you need to build that first. I don't know why the build doesn't just stop after encountering this error.

Good luck... it has taken me a while to get a build working and this one got me too.

Thanks for all the help, it is working now that I compiled kdepimlibs first. Who should I contact in order to change the guide because it's very unhelpful putting kdepimlibs after kdebase! I'm certain it would solve a load of problems

The guide is supposed to have kdepimlibs first (It did when I used it) but it seems like someone changed it a few months ago and didn't leave a reason. I'll see what I can dig up.

Update: There was a time when kdebase did not depend on kdepimlibs and was the reason why the order was changed. Recent development in kdebase however has once again made it a dependency.

Since it has already been correct by Zarin this more a general advise:

techbase and userbase are Wikis for the explicit intent that anyone can fix wrong or outdated information.
Giving a good change reason when sumbitting the edit does help those who try to track changes.

Ah. I didn't realise it was a wiki
