Command Explanations

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release: This switch is used to apply higher level of the compiler optimizations.

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib: This switch is used to get libraries to install to $KDE_PREFIX/lib instead of $KDE_PREFIX/lib64 on a 64 bit system.

-DUSE_QT4=TRUE: This switch is used to ensure that Qt4 version of the library is built even if Qt5 is present.
