[kde4] [SOLVED] Compiling kde 4 dependencies

Hi Guys,

I just compiled the basic kde 4.1 stuff (qt,libs,base) from svn using the "Getting Started" tutorial from techbase. Now I want to compile some selected programs, like kmail, or akregator, without having to compile the whole meta package (kdepim). The question is, how can I do that? Do I have to create my own CMakeLists.txt for kmail ?

Hope someone can give me some hints...
Thanks in advance,
oliii

Hello,

it's some time ago that i compiled KDE and i am at the moment on this stage, but not as far as you...

But what i know from recent experience:
the command cmake <options> only makes the buildfiles, not the apps itself. Watch the sample .bashrc on techbase. So what you need is run cmake once over the complete packagedir, but you need to run it in the corresponding build dir. And now you can type (like the tut says) "nice make -j2 && \
make install;" (also in the builddir + your wanted app-dir)

But remember! There are dependencies inside all packages, so maybe you must compile everything to get what you need.

Hope this fits your needs.
