How to install KDE 4 on Fedora
I installed KDE 4 on a Fedora 7, using the sources from the KDE home page, here is the how-to step by step, on a fresh F7 installation.
First some required packages
Code:
yum install clucene-core-devel libxml-devel libxslt-devel \
dbus-devel boost-devel bzip2-devel openssl-devel alsa-lib-devel \
redland-devel rasqal-devel raptor-devel hspell-devel aspell-devel \
cups-devel xine-lib-devel avahi-devel gamin-devel OpenEXR-devel \
enchant-devel jasper-devel ilmbase-devel pcre-devel gpgme-devel \
libxklavier-devel glib-devel libusb-devel libsmbclient-devel \
libxcb-devel NetworkManager-devel lm_sensors-devel libraw1394-devel \
bluez-libs-devel gcc-c++ libXext-devel cmake subversion giflib-devel \
libpng-devel libXdamage-devel libXcomposite-devel libXrender-devel \
fontconfig-devel libXft-devel libXcursor-devel libXfixes-devel \
ruby-devel libXScrnSaver-devel libkdcraw-devel exiv2-devel \
lcms-devel libtiff-devel sqlite-devel libxkbfile-devel \
imlib2-devel patch gstreamer-plugins-base-devel
Code:
yum install strigi strigi-devel
Code:
yum install qt4-devel qt4-doc
KDElibs
Code:
wget http://download.kde.org/stable/4.0.0/src/kdelibs-4.0.0.tar.bz2
tar xvjf kdelibs-4.0.0.tar.bz2
mkdir kde4build
cd kde4build/
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/src -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull -DKDE4_BUILD_TEST=ON $HOME/kde4/kdelibs-4.0.0
kdepimlibs
Code:
wget http://download.kde.org/stable/4.0.0/src/kdepimlibs-4.0.0.tar.bz2
export PATH=$PATH:/usr/src/bin
cmake .
make
make install
kdebase
Code:
wget http://download.kde.org/stable/4.0.0/src/kdebase-4.0.0.tar.bz2
tar xvjf kdebase-4.0.0.tar.bz2
cd kdebase-4.0.0
yum install blitz blitz-devel qimageblitz qimageblitz-devel
cmake .
make
make install
Now you are ready to run kde applications.
Code:
ssh -X [username] localhost
Code:
kwrite
I will post later how to finish installing it, and make it available as a full session from gdm or kdm
