I am trying to build KDE4 under opensuse 11.1, however, running cmakekde under the kdelibs directory returns the following error

Here is what I did
1. Downloaded kdebase-svn.tar.bz2, kdelibs-svn.tar.bz2 and kdepimlibs-svn.tar.bz2 then followed the instructions on http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Sources/Snapshots (Is kdepimlibs-svn.tar.bz2 required for a base build?)
2. Created a kde-devel user account
3. Copied the .bashrc from http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Increased_Productivity_in_KDE4_with_Scripts/.bashrc with no modification. Do I need to make any changes?
4. Added the required packages listed on http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/openSUSE
5. cd kdelibs && cmakekde

I tried the tips on http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4/Troubleshooting#Issues_building_kdelibs but the error persists.

I haven't use cmakekde myself yet, but maybe it needs a certain parameter.

If you use standard cmake you should be able to do this

Code: Select all

cd kdelibs
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/you/want/to/install/to ..

Thanks anda_skoa , creating a separate directory for build solved the problem. However, I cannot build kdepimlibs

Are the instructions on http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 valid?

It says that it isn't able to find the KDELibs, if I got it right.
But I think it has to search in other paths than:

Code: Select all

/root/.kde4/share/apps;/usr/share/kde4/apps;/etc/kde4/share/apps

You said, that you have set up the bashrc. How do you log in into the kde-devel shell? (I think that the environment variables aren't set right)

I log in using the following command

Code: Select all

defaultuser@linux-playground:~> ssh -X kde-devel@localhost
Password:
Last login: Sat Aug 15 13:15:41 2009 from localhost
Have a lot of fun...
mkdir: missing operand
Try `mkdir --help' for more information.
-bash: /home/kde-devel/.bashrc: line 222: syntax error near unexpected token `.bashrc'
-bash: /home/kde-devel/.bashrc: line 222: `.bashrc'
kde-devel@linux-playground:~>


here is the code containing line 222

Code: Select all

function _cs_scandir
{
        local base ext

        base=
        ext=
        if [ -d  ]; then
                for d in .bash_history
.bashrc # this is line 222
.emacs
.fonts
.inputrc
.mozilla
.profile
.vimrc
.xim.template
.xinitrc.template
Documents
bin
public_html; do
                        if [ -d / ]; then
                                dirs=" /"
                        fi
                done
        fi
}


I use the .bashrc from http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Increased_Productivity_in_KDE4_with_Scripts/.bashrc

I think you should remove the new lines after .bash_history, .bashrc and so on, so it looks like this

Code: Select all

 for d in .bash_history .emacs .fonts .inputrc .mozilla .profile .vimrc .xim.template .xinitrc.template Documents bin public_html; do
                        if [ -d / ]; then
                                dirs=" /"
                        fi
                done


There isn't a new line after .xinitrc.template.

I am still getting the same error message when trying to build kdepimlibs

Did the instructions on http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 work for you?

Yes, they did.
There's a failure with makedir in your ~/.bashrc
Could you somehow provide your ~/.bashrc?

I was trying to use cmake in windows.
But m not able to find that KDELIBS someone please help me in installing kdelibs in windows.

You may wish to ask about this on the kde-windows@kde.org mailing list. I assume you're trying to compile the KDE 4 version of kdelibs, rather than the Frameworks?
