uninstall the version of KMyMoney of my distribution.
Speaking of it, I've been told (on IRC i think) that there's a kind
of documentation somewhere about running kmm from the build dir
without installing. It probably involves messing with LD_PATH and
such so that the builddir plugins are found/used instead of the
system/distribution ones.. .
But i could not find it, does anyone have any more information about
this ??
Hello Thomas,
It's not just running it from the build dir - it's running any copy
other than the system installed version. It also involves far more
than LD_LIBRARY_PATH. The issue is that while the main executable can
be called directly, and LD_LIBRARY_PATH can be used for the main .so
files, there are many other necessary files, such as icons and plugins,
that KDE finds based partly on environment variables (including several
KDE..., XDG_..., QT_..., and other directory paths) and also on cached
values, which need to be reset by running kbuildsyscoca5.
Below is one of the scripts I use to do this, but right now, I suspect
it may need further changes to completely avoid using installed files
instead of newly compiled versions.
