Building Kleopatra git master

There is a lot of documentation available at techbase.kde.org this page mainly is an example on how you can do this.

Compiling into a custom prefix

This is an example how to compile Kleopatra and installing it into a custom prefix.

The example prefix is kf5. The example snippets use make -j

Preparing the environment

export CUSTOM_PREFIX=~/kf5
mkdir -p $CUSTOM_PREFIX/src
cd $CUSTOM_PREFIX/src

Qt 5

cd $CUSTOM_PREFIX/src
git clone git://code.qt.io/qt/qt5.git --branch 5.6
cd qt5
./init-repository
./configure -prefix $CUSTOM_PREFIX/qt5 -opensource -confirm-license -nomake tests -nomake examples -dbus -no-separate-debug-info -xcb -qpa xcb -no-gtkstyle -release -force-debug-info -reduce-relocations -optimized-qmake
make -j`nproc` && make install

KDE Frameworks

You should take a look at the KDE documentation: https://community.kde.org/Frameworks/Building

Here are my notes how I did this:

git config --global url."git://anongit.kde.org/".insteadOf kde: && \
git config --global url."ssh://git@git.kde.org/".pushInsteadOf kde:

cd $CUSTOM_PREFIX/src
mkdir -p extragear/utils
git clone kde:kdesrc-build extragear/utils/kdesrc-build
ln -s extragear/utils/kdesrc-build/kdesrc-build .
wget "http://www.davidfaure.fr/kde/kf5-qt5-kdesrc-buildrc" -O "kdesrc-buildrc"

Now edit the paths in the kdesrc-buildrc.

Example:

global

  qtdir /home/aheinecke/arbeit/kf5/qt5
  source-dir /home/aheinecke/arbeit/kf5/src
  build-dir /home/aheinecke/arbeit/kf5/build
  kdedir /home/aheinecke/arbeit/kf5

  git-repository-base kde-projects kde:

  cmake-options -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=debug -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=false

  make-options -j8

  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

  branch-group kf5-qt5

end global

include extragear/utils/kdesrc-build/kf5-qt5-build-include

Now we can start compiling:

./kdesrc-build --include-dependencies kdepim

Look out for errors and fix them :-)

Runtime Setup

The script attachment:frameworks-env.sh is an example that sets up your environment and adds some convenience build functions. Take a look at the script first and edit paths where necessary.

To use KF5 from your prefix set the following environment variables:

export KF5=$CUSTOM_PREFIX
export QTDIR=$CUSTOM_PREFIX/qt5
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KF5/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$KF5/etc/xdg:$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS:/etc/xdg
export PATH=$KF5/sbin:$KF5/bin:$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$KF5/lib/plugins:$KF5/lib64/plugins:$KF5/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins:$QTDIR/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH
export KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5
export KDE_FULL_SESSION=true

export XDG_DATA_HOME=$KF5/.local/share
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$KF5/.config
export XDG_CACHE_HOME=$KF5/.cache

export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$KF5:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KF5/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$KF5/lib/pkgconfig:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export KSYCOCA=$CUSTOM_PREFIX/sycoca2

Tipps

Logging

To get a nicer logging pattern:

export QT_MESSAGE_PATTERN="`echo -e "\033[32m%{time h:mm:ss.zzz}%{if-category}\033[32m %{category}:%{endif} %{if-debug}\033[35m%{function}%{endif}%{if-warning}\033[33m%{backtrace depth=3}%{endif}%{if-critical}\033[31m%{backtrace depth=3}%{endif}%{if-fatal}\033[31m%{backtrace depth=3}%{endif}\033[0m %{message}"`"

To configure logging:

export QT_LOGGING_CONF=$CUSTOM_PREFIX/src/logging.rules
echo [Rules] > $CUSTOM_PREFIX/src/logging.rules
echo log_kleopatra.debug=true  >> $CUSTOM_PREFIX/src/logging.rules
echo kdepim.kleopatra.debug=true  >> $CUSTOM_PREFIX/src/logging.rules

VIM

There is a very useful vim script available at: https://techbase.kde.org/Policies/Kdelibs_Coding_Style#Vim Vim users should take a look at it.
