Building KDE
Frameworks 5 (KF5)
KDE Frameworks 5 is a collection of libraries based on top of Qt5 and
QML derived from the monolithic KDE 4 libraries. They can be used
independent of the KDE Display Environment (Plasma 5).
This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-8.3
platform.
The instructions below build all of the KDE Frameworks packages in
one step by using a bash script.

Downloading KDE Frameworks
The easiest way to get the KDE Frameworks packages is to use a
single wget to fetch
them all at once:
url=http://download.kde.org/stable/frameworks/5.49/
wget -r -nH -nd -A '*.xz' -np $url
The options used here are:
-r recurse through child directories
-nH disable generation of host-prefixed directories
-nd do not create a hierarchy of directories
-A '*.xz' just get the *.xz files
-np don't get parent directories
Setting Package Order
The order of building files is important due to internal
dependencies. Create the list of files in the proper order as
follows:
cat > frameworks-5.49.0.md5 << "EOF"

EOF
In the above list, notice that some files have been commented out
with a hash (#) character. The extra-cmake-modules entry has been
commented out because it was built earlier in the Introduction to
KDE. The icon packages are covered separately at breeze-icons-5.49.0 and oxygen-icons5-5.49.0. The
modemmanager-qt package may be built if its optional dependency has
been installed. The prison package (bar code reader) may be built
if the required external libraries are installed. The kdewebkit may
be built if the external package QtWebkit
has been built.
Installation of KDE Frameworks
Note
When installing multiple packages in a script, the installation
needs to be done as the root user. There are three general
options that can be used to do this:
-
Run the entire script as the root user (not recommended).
-
Use the sudo
command from the Sudo-1.8.23
package.
-
Use su -c "command
arguments" (quotes required) which will ask
for the root password for every iteration of the loop.
One way to handle this situation is to create a short
bash function that
automatically selects the appropriate method. Once the command is
set in the environment, it does not need to be set again.
as_root()
{
if [ $EUID = 0 ]; then $*
elif [ -x /usr/bin/sudo ]; then sudo $*
else su -c \\"$*\\"
fi
}
export -f as_root
Caution
If installing in /opt and there is an existing /opt/kf5 either as
a regular directory or a symbolic link, it should be
reinitialized (as root):
mv -v /opt/kf5 /opt/kf5.old &&
install -v -dm755 $KF5_PREFIX/{etc,share} &&
ln -sfv /etc/dbus-1 $KF5_PREFIX/etc &&
ln -sfv /usr/share/dbus-1 $KF5_PREFIX/share
First, start a subshell that will exit on error:
bash -e
Install all of the packages by running the following commands:
export CXXFLAGS='-isystem /usr/include/openssl-1.0'
while read -r line; do
# Get the file name, ignoring comments and blank lines
if $(echo $line | grep -E -q '^ *$|^#' ); then continue; fi
file=$(echo $line | cut -d" " -f2)
pkg=$(echo $file|sed 's|^.*/||') # Remove directory
packagedir=$(echo $pkg|sed 's|\.tar.*||') # Package directory
tar -xf $file
pushd $packagedir
mkdir build
cd build
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KF5_PREFIX \
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$QT5DIR \
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \
-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \
-Wno-dev ..
make
as_root make install
popd
as_root rm -rf $packagedir
as_root /sbin/ldconfig
done < frameworks-5.49.0.md5
exit
Note
Any modules that have been omitted can be installed later by
using the same mkdir build; cd build; cmake; make; make install
procedure as above.
Sometimes the installation paths are hardcoded into installed
files. If the installed directory is not /usr, rename the directory
and create a symlink:
mv -v /opt/kf5 /opt/kf5-5.49.0
ln -sfvn kf5-5.49.0 /opt/kf5
Command Explanations
-DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$QT5DIR
: This
switch is used to allow cmake to find the proper Qt libraries.
-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release
:
This switch is used to apply higher level of the compiler
optimizations.
-DBUILD_TESTING=OFF
: This
switch is used to prevent building test programs and libraries that
are of no use to an end user.
