My first Krusader2-kde4 compilation attempt

[Frank Schoolmeesters]

Hi guys,

I finally found some time to start with KDE4 :-)

First i tried Debian Experimental, but ended in up a dependency hell
with unavailable kde4 packages.

So, i installed "Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 4 Remix)" on my harddrive.
http://kubuntu.org/download.php

After reading our compile instructions at
http://www.krusader.org/handbook/krusader_kde4_install.html

It was needed to install the next packages first:
- gcc
- g++
- cmake
- gettext (contains "msgfmt")
- kdelibs5-dev (installs many development libraries for KDE4)
So, i need to update our compile instructions ;)

But then i ended up with the next error:
-------------------------------------------------------------------------

This is correct, the file resides in:

How can i change the path?

Thanks and bye,

Frank

Hi,

I have had similar problem after cpack was added to krusader, but
it is probably bug in the cmake package.

I have worked it around by making a
symlink /usr/share/cmake->/usr/share/cmake-2.4

I finally found some time to start with KDE4 :-)

First i tried Debian Experimental, but ended in up a dependency hell
with unavailable kde4 packages.

I have uploaded latest KDE4 snapshots (4.0.74) to Debian Experimental this week-end.
See for informations : http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/experimental.html

let me know what's your issue on dependency hell :)

cheers,

Hi Fathi,

I have installed Debian Lenny (with the netinstall CD)
- Installed KDE 3.5.9 desktop enviroment
- Upgraded to SID

Followed the next instructions for KDE4
http://te.ch-ne.ws/2008/01/kde4-debian-howto/

I have the next lines in /etc/apt/sources.list
----------------------------------------------
deb http://ftp.kulnet.kuleuven.ac.be/debian/ sid main contrib

This is the output of a few days ago (before the weekend), maybe if i
run it today it will work.

I have installed Debian Lenny (with the netinstall CD)

- Installed KDE 3.5.9 desktop enviroment

You don't need this step as you want KDE4 :)

- Upgraded to SID

You can use daily built install:
http://cdimage.debian.org/cdimage/daily-builds/daily/arch-latest/i386/iso-cd/

Followed the next instructions for KDE4
http://te.ch-ne.ws/2008/01/kde4-debian-howto/

Use official source: http://pkg-kde.alioth.debian.org/experimental.html

I have the next lines in /etc/apt/sources.list

I suggest to use DE server (faster):

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ unstable main contrib non-free

deb http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free
deb-src http://ftp.de.debian.org/debian/ experimental main contrib non-free

This is the output of a few days ago (before the weekend), maybe if i
run it today it will work.

this weekend I have uploaded a full KDE4 4.0.74 packages set for amd64/i386.
You must not have this kind of problem anymore.

Hi,

I will try Debian experimental soon again.

About Krusader-2-svn compilation on "Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 4 Remix)"
I have fixed the cmake link with
$ sudo mkdir /usr/share/cmake/
$ sudo ln -s /usr/share/cmake-2.4/Templates /usr/share/cmake/Templates
To fix the next cmake error:
-------------

CMake Error: CPack welcome resource file:
"/usr/share/cmake/Templates/CPack.GenericWelcome.txt" could not be
found.

----------------

But now i have a problem wit CXX.
Somebody, any idea what is wrong?

cmake says:
--------------------------
loading initial cache file MAKE_CXX_COMPILER=gcc
Error processing file:MAKE_CXX_COMPILER=gcc
--------------------------

And make says:
--------------------------
Linking CXX executable krusader
....
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lphonon
collect2: ld returned 1 exit status
....
--------------------------

I'm using:

Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 4 Remix)

gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)
Qt: 4.3.4
KDE: 4.0.3

See below for more output details.

Thanks and bye,

Frank

Hi Fathi,

I installed Debian SID with kde3.5.9 and tried to install kde4 again.

I used aptitude because
debian:/home/frank# apt-get install -t experimental kdelibs5
kdepimlibs5 kdebase-runtime kdebase-workspace kdebase
refused to work.

I was able to install kdelibs5 kdepimlibs5 kdebase-runtime separately
with aptitude and even succesfully killed my KDE3 desktop ;)

But KDE4, kdebase-workspace kdebase refuses to install, also aptitude
seems not be able to fix the dependency hell ;)

thanks and bye,

Frank

rah :) Indeed.

Sorry, kdebase-workspace is in the NEW queue at the moment:
http://ftp-master.debian.org/new.html

It needs to be processed by ftp-master.

You can found the packages:
http://fboudra.free.fr/debian/kde4/kdebase-workspace_4:4.0.74-1/

well, it's not the best situation but works.

cheers,

Fathi

[Fathi Boudra]

if you want to test krusader for KDE 4:
http://fboudra.free.fr/debian/krusader_2.0.0~svn6001-1/

It's isn't co-installable with KDE3 version.
I planned an upload to Debian (experimental) after beta1 release.

[Frank Schoolmeesters]

Hi all,

Compilation still fails.
I have a CXX problem but there is some progress since last time.

System:

Kubuntu 8.04 (KDE 4 Remix)

gcc (GCC) 4.2.3 (Ubuntu 4.2.3-2ubuntu7)
Qt: 4.3.4
KDE: 4.0.3

1)
I have installed some CXX packages, though i'm not sure i need them ;)
Or maybe i have not installed a devel package that is needed for compilation?
- lsb-cxx
- libcxxtools4
- libcxxtools-dev
- python-cxx
- python-cxx-dev

2)
Checked out revision 6003 from wich contains a patch by Fathi.

3)
$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/ -DQT_INCLUDES=/usr/share/qt4/include
Seems to run ok now (please check the output at below).

4)
make fails with a CXX linking problem (please check the output at below).

Any thoughts?

thanks a lot and bye,

Frank

The linker can't find phonon, do you have it installed?

libphonon-dev was the missing package.

Thanks!

Krusader has left the third stone towards the fourth stone ;-)
See attached screen shot.

I'm back in business :-)

Nice. Once your tired of the grey-in-grey of the default style, try Skulpture.
Doesn't look bad at all.
