I want to try and help out with development, but I'm stuck at just installing Qt5...

I'm following this guide: https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Building, but I'm not able to get all of Qt to compile.

After cloning the Qt5 repository (git clone git://anongit.kde.org/qt/qt5.git --branch 5.3) and running init and make, I find 5 config.log files in the Qt folders with errors:

I've just installed these packages now, so hopefully these two errors will go away...

I'm using a fresh install of Kubuntu 14.04. The only thing I've done on it is to install Konversation, and following this guide.

Are there any known issues with the guide or the Qt repository, or am I simply doing something stupid somewhere??

if you look at the individual errors you'll note that you are missing various non-KDE (mostly) dev packages that provide the ______.h files that you're missing

1st one probably libbluetooth-dev
2nd probably libtbb2
3rd probably libjasper-dev
as I don't use K nor compile KDE I might be a bit amiss

you probably need to install the Kubuntu standard development packages, might be called something like build-essential, you might need other -dev files also

if you Google you might find a list of packages needed to compile QT5 or QT in Kubuntu

note: usually when you dl and install a distro it's basic and set for regular users not developers

why not just add the Project Neon Frameworks 5 Weekly ppa https://launchpad.net/~neon/+archive/ub ... hot-weekly instead of compiling ?

I'm hoping to help with the development, and then I figured I should have the packages from source... If I just install it from the ppa, I imagine it would be hard to help with anything but to test the software.

Anyways, after a bit back and forth, almost all of Qt5 has compiled now (just the bluetooth fails and some other warnings), so I've moved on to KF5 itself. I've been missing some more development packages, but bit by bit I've been able to compile most of it.

However, at the moment I am stuck at Baloo:

CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:40 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "KF5Akonadi" with
  any of the following names:

    KF5AkonadiConfig.cmake
    kf5akonadi-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "KF5Akonadi" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set
  "KF5Akonadi_DIR" to a directory containing one of the above files.  If
  "KF5Akonadi" provides a separate development package or SDK, be sure it has
  been installed.

This is just a warning, but Akonadi builds fine. I've also found this review, which leads me to believe that KF5Akonadi was renamed at the end of August, but that the Baloo build scripts were not updated afterwards. Though it seems it built for the reviewers. Are there any obvious mistakes I might have done here?

CMake Error at src/pim/CMakeLists.txt:10 (find_package):
  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "KF5Abc" (requested

This is the actual error which stops compilation. From what I can tell, KF5Abc is a part of kdepimlibs. But that module is compiled later in the build order...?

Does anyone have any idea how best to solve this?

Which package do you encounter the KAbc build error with?
