*Solved* Compiling KDE CVS - Error

Hello,

I'm using CVS access to compile KDE head. Since a few weeks I receive the following while running ./configure.

[code:1]
checking if UIC has KDE plugins available... no
configure: error: you need to install kdelibs first
[/code:1]

This happens with every tree except qt-copy and kdelibs. For example kdebase, kdepim and koffice.

I ran cvs up for all modules, then a "make clean" in qt-copy and kdelibs and make and make install for qt-copy and kdelibs. In qt-copy I also ran make sub-tools and afterwards the make install.

The build process was working for a few weeks therefore I assume the environment is setup correctly.

Any advice which step I'm missing?

Best regards, Lars

I take it you already installed kdelibs. Where did you install it to?
Try specifying the option --prefix=/your/kdeinstallationdir
in your calls to configure.

Hello,

$KDEDIR and $KDEDIRS is set to ~/kdehead. The compilation worked before (for months).

Best regards, Lars

perhaps when you compile kdelibs you have to specify --prefix=~/kdehead

Hello all,

that you for your answers

I finally managed to make it work again. :D

I deleted the qt-copy and kdelibs and made an cvs co again on these. After complete re-compilation and installation everything works again.

No change of the environment variables / prefixes were required.

Best regards, Lars
