Solid is a device integration framework. It provides a way of querying and interacting with hardware independently of the underlying operating system.
Development versions of BLFS may not build or run some packages properly if LFS or dependencies have been updated since the most recent stable versions of the books.
This package is extracted from the KF5 set of packages. If KDE Frameworks-5.113.0 is built, do NOT also build this package as presented here.

Install solid by running the following commands:
mkdir -v build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR=libexec \ -DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON \ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release \ -DBUILD_TESTING=OFF \ -Wno-dev .. && make
This package does not come with a test suite.
Now, as the root
user:
make install
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBEXECDIR=libexec
: This overrides the default in extra-cmake-modules, which is /usr/lib/libexec
and is not FHS compliant.
-DKDE_INSTALL_USE_QT_SYS_PATHS=ON
: This forces installation of Qt plugins in the same directory as Qt-5.15.12 itself. Otherwise they get installed into /usr/mkspecs
, which is not FHS compliant.
