Installation of Kdelibs

Fix file conflicts with GNOME Menus by running the following commands:

sed -i "s@{SYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR}/xdg/menus@& RENAME kde-applications.menu@" \
        kded/CMakeLists.txt &&

sed -i "s@applications.menu@kde-&@" \
        kded/kbuildsycoca.cpp

Install Kdelibs by running the following commands:

mkdir build &&
cd    build &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDE_PREFIX \
      -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc         \
      -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release         \
      -DDOCBOOKXML_CURRENTDTD_DIR=/usr/share/xml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.5 \
      -Wno-dev .. &&
make

The unit regression tests are designed to be run after kdelibs is installed.

Now as the root user:

make install

To run the unit regression tests, you must have a current KDE session running and issue make test.

Command Explanations

-DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc: This switch is used to install configuration files in /etc.

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release: This switch is used to apply higher level of compiler optimizations.

-DDOCBOOKXML_CURRENTDTD_DIR=...: This switch is used to tell cmake where to find the XML DTDs.

-DWITH_SOLID_UDISKS2=TRUE: Use this switch if you have UDisks2.
