KDE Frameworks 5

Hi, since the frameworks packages are now in [extra]:

is it safe to install them while running KDE 4 as desktop, or will certain runtime components interfere?

Basically I want everything needed to build and run KTextEditor and Kate from git (I want to contribute code). Is this only the package “kparts” and its recursive dependencies?

Currently I’m using kdesrc-build for everything kf5, but I’m encountering problems while wondering if the [extra] packages are better:

klauncher said: Could not find the 'kf5/kio/file' plugin.

Another thing: the “ktexteditor” package exists, but a kate 5 package doesn’t? (I want to build both anyway, i’m just wondering)

Re: KDE Frameworks 5

Frameworks are coinstallable with KDE4, they will not interfere. kate5 doesn't even have a preview release yet, so there is no package for it. ktexteditor has been split off from it and is now part of Frameworks.

You probably won't be able to build ktexteditor-git against the [extra] packages now, since the dependencies in git have already been bumped to 5.0 (still unreleased). You either have to compile all kf5 dependencies from git or wait until 5.0 is in the repos (will be released on Monday)

Re: KDE Frameworks 5

thanks!

i’ve already set up git, but upgrading is still quite involved:

source build_env
./kdesrc-build

K_ROOT="$PWD"

for APP in 'frameworks/ktexteditor' 'kde/applications/kate'; do
	cd "$K_ROOT/$APP"
	git pull --rebase
	
	cd "$K_ROOT/build/$APP"
	cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="$KF5" -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH="$KF5" -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull "$K_ROOT/$APP"
done

…and this doesn’t even include the kdesrc-buildrc:

# Adjust all these settings at will

global
  source-dir ~/Dev/KDE/kf5/
  build-dir build
  kdedir ~/Dev/KDE/kf5/_run_

  git-repository-base kde-projects kde:

  # KDE4_BUILD_TESTS kept for now, for old kde4_add_unit_test stuff to be enabled
  cmake-options -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=debug -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=true

  cxxflags -pipe -DQT_STRICT_ITERATORS -DQURL_NO_CAST_FROM_STRING -DQT_NO_HTTP -DQT_NO_FTP -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Werror=return-type -Wno-variadic-macros -Wlogical-op -Wmissing-include-dirs

  make-options -j8
end global

module-set basic-stuff
    repository kde-projects
    use-modules extra-cmake-modules attica
    cmake-options -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=debug
end module-set

include buildrc-kate-light

… and buildrc-kate-light:

module-set tier1
    repository kde-projects
    use-modules karchive kcodecs kconfig kcoreaddons kdbusaddons kf5umbrella kglobalaccel kguiaddons kitemmodels kitemviews kjs kwidgetsaddons kwindowsystem solid sonnet

    branch master
    cmake-options -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=debugfull
end module

module-set tier2
    repository kde-projects
    use-modules kauth kcompletion kcrash kdoctools ki18n kjobwidgets knotifications kwallet

    branch master
    cmake-options -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=debugfull
end module

module-set tier3
    repository kde-projects
    use-modules kbookmarks kcmutils kconfigwidgets kded kiconthemes kinit kio knewstuff kparts kservice ktextwidgets kxmlgui

    branch master
    cmake-options -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=debugfull
end module

module-set tier4
    repository kde-projects
    use-modules frameworkintegration

    branch master
    cmake-options -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=debugfull
end module

and all of this isn’t guaranteed to be up-to-date in respect to dependencies and cmake options.
