Hello,
Trying to build KDE on Debian Stable. I'm stuck on these difficulties : * I had to build Qt5 myself ('cos Debian's is outdated). Which Qt5 version should I use ? I used : git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git cd qt5 git checkout 5.9 perl init-repository ./configure --prefix=/mnt/data2/kde/qt5git -opensource -release -nomake tests -nomake examples -confirm-license -no-gtk -dbus -no-separate-debug-info -xcb -system-xcb -qpa xcb -release -force-debug-info -reduce-relocations -optimized-qmake -no-gstreamer make install Is it correct ? Which one of these configure parameters (gathered from various docs) are actually necessary for a KDE build ? How do I tell kdebuildsrc to use that qt5 without installing it my Debian (it'd compete with Debian's) ? * Wayland must be upgraded too. I did : xz -d ~/Downloads/wayland-1.14.91.tar.xz ./configure --prefix=/mnt/data2/kde/wayland --disable-documentation make make install How do I tell kdebuildsrc to use it without installing wayland on my Debian ? Should I use something like : export PKG_WAYLAND_CLIENT=... ? But kdesrcbuild seems to know about client and server whereas the wayland libs also have the "protocols" thing... * Should I build qtwebkit ? I did this : Downlaoded qtwebkit opensource 5.9.0 (is it right ?) cd qtwebkit-opensource-src-5.9.0 # This was found on the web, dunno exatcly what it does : sed -e '/CONFIG/a QMAKE_CXXFLAGS += -Wno-expansion-to-defined' \ -i Tools/qmake/mkspecs/features/unix/default_pre.prf mkdir -p build cd build # I use qt5's qmake because it seems this way it installs webkit # in Qt's libs; without that it seems to be completely invisible # to the build process, dunno why. /mnt/data2/kde/qt5git/bin/qmake ../WebKit.pro make Again, how do I tell kdebuildsrc to use it ? Can someone help me ? Thanks ! Stefan
