Guidelines and HOWTOs/Build from source/FreeBSD

• Install Python 3.6 and libraries needed for Craft:

pkg install python37 py37-sqlite3

• Optional: Install dependencies that will be required for compiling most KDE applications:

pkg install libxml harfbuzz shared-mime-info p5-URI py36-sqlite3 xcb-util-image libxslt xcb-util-wm freetype2 xcb-util-renderutil gettext-runtime fontconfig git bash libxcbcommon xcb-util-keysyms gettext-tools icu python dbus inputproto cmake xorg-fonts pcre png bison xkeyboard-config pkgconf libxcb gpgme p7zip glib python37

• Get Craft

fetch -o setup.py https://raw.githubusercontent.com/KDE/craft/master/setup/CraftBootstrap.py && python3.7 setup.py --prefix ~/CraftRoot

• Optional: Adjust craft config to your liking:

ee ~/kde/etc/kdesettings.ini

• Optional: Run bash if you are running some other shell

bash

• Setup environment:

source craft/kdeenv.sh

• In this shell, now craft is usable, e.g. to build Kate with all dependencies:

craft kate
