Probably a noob question, but I've been struggling.

I want to build a version of ark that has the preview disabled (for fun) so here is what I have done so far:

Code: Select all

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdeutils/ark
cd ark
cmake .


and I get this error:

Code: Select all

CMake Error at part/CMakeLists.txt:16 (kde4_add_ui_files):
  Unknown CMake command "kde4_add_ui_files".


CMake Warning (dev) in CMakeLists.txt:
  No cmake_minimum_required command is present.  A line of code such as

    cmake_minimum_required(VERSION 2.8)

  should be added at the top of the file.  The version specified may be lower
  if you wish to support older CMake versions for this project.  For more
  information run "cmake --help-policy CMP0000".
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

-- Configuring incomplete, errors occurred!


I am unfamiliar with cmake and my web searches have been fruitless so far, so I'll ask. What do I need to do?

You need to checkout the full kdeutils module, run CMake at the top level, then build only Ark.

The following commands should be sufficient:

Code: Select all

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/KDE/kdeutils
mkdir kdeutils/build
cd kdeutils/build
cmake ..
cd ark
make

Thanks for the quick response.

I was able to compile ark based on those instructions. The program even runs, but it crashes if I try to open a zip file (or create one). Is this because I'm trying to run it local from the build folder, or because I pulled an unstable build or something else?

Crashing shouldn't occur, however this may indeed be caused by it not being installed.

I'll try it in a vm when I have the time. Thanks.
