Krita/kf5build

This section provides information about 'building Qt5, Kf5 and Krita3.

To build Qt5 and Kf5 follow the instructions in Frameworks/Building on Techbase. I assume that you are building in $HOME/kf5. The result will be completely independent from your kde4 build of Krita.

Here's my kdesrcbuildrc, adjust to your home directory:

# Adjust all these settings at will

global

  qtdir /home/boud/kf5/qt5/qtbase
  source-dir /home/boud/kf5/src
  build-dir /home/boud/kf5/build
  kdedir /home/boud/kf5/inst

  git-repository-base kde-projects kde:

  # KDE4_BUILD_TESTS kept for now, for old kde4_add_unit_test stuff to be enabled
  cmake-options -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE:STRING=relwithdebinfo -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=false

  # If you want to use ninja instead of make (it's faster!), uncomment the next line
  #custom-build-command ninja

  make-options -j8

  cxxflags -pipe -DQT_STRICT_ITERATORS -DQURL_NO_CAST_FROM_STRING -DQT_NO_HTTP -DQT_NO_FTP -Wformat -Werror=format-security -Werror=return-type -Wno-variadic-macros -Wlogical-op -Wmissing-include-dirs  -std=c++11

  #install-session-driver true

  branch-group kf5-qt5

end global

include extragear/utils/kdesrc-build/kf5-qt5-build-include

The following script will setup all the paths. You should save the script as, say, ~/kf5/kf5.sh and source it when you want to do a spot of Krita3 building.

export KF5=$HOME/kf5/inst

export QTDIR=$HOME/kf5/qt5/qtbase
export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$KF5:$QTDIR:$CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH

export XDG_DATA_DIRS=$KF5/share:$XDG_DATA_DIRS:/usr/share
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=$KF5/etc/xdg:$XDG_CONFIG_DIRS:/etc/xdg
export XDG_DATA_HOME=$KF5/../local5/share
export XDG_CONFIG_HOME=$KF5/../config5
export XDG_CACHE_HOME=$KF5/../cache5

export PATH=$KF5/bin:$QTDIR/bin:$PATH

export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$KF5/lib/plugins:$KF5/lib64/plugins:$KF5/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/plugins:$QTDIR/plugins:$QT_PLUGIN_PATH

export QML2_IMPORT_PATH=$KF5/lib/qml:$KF5/lib64/qml:$KF5/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/qml:$QTDIR/qml
export QML_IMPORT_PATH=$QML2_IMPORT_PATH

export KDE_SESSION_VERSION=5
export KDE_FULL_SESSION=true
export KDE_SRC=$HOME/kf5/src
export KDE_BUILD=$HOME/kf5/build

c=`echo -e "\033"`
export QT_MESSAGE_PATTERN="%{appname}(%{pid})/(%{category}) ${c}[31m%{if-debug}${c}[34m%{endif}\
%{function}${c}[0m: %{message}"
unset c

After building Qt and Kf5 as per instructions, you should end up with the following items in the top-level kf5 directory:

~/kf5/build/
~/kf5/cache/
~/kf5/config5/
~/kf5/inst/
~/kf5/kdesrc-build (symlink to ~/kf5/extragear/utils/kdesrc-build/kdesrc-build)
~/kf5/kdesrcbuildrc
~/kf5/kf5.sh
~/kf5/local5
~/kf5/qt5/
~/kf5/src/

If everything has been built, you can checkout the calligra src in ~/kf5/src, build it in ~/kf5/build and install to ~/kf5/inst. There are no weird cmake incantations needed.
