Building kdiff-ext on Kubuntu 10.04

[Nobody/Anonymous]

Hello,

i'm somewhat a newbie with building CMake based projects.
I have gcc-4.4 installed, CMake 2.8, plenty of /usr/lib/libQt…so.4.6.2 libs and their respective /usr/include/qt4 things

When I run 'cmake .', no error.
When I run 'make', I get plenty of errors like:
../../lib/libsettings.a(settings.o):(.data.rel.ro._ZTV8Settings+0x2c): undefined reference to 'QObject::customEvent(QEvent *)'

as if it was simply missing the whole Qt4 lib.
what did i do wrong?

Regards
Armel

That was a problem in the linkage of kdiff_ext. Should be fixed now in the mercurial repository.

on Kubuntu 10.04 I have no KDEDIR / KDEHOME variables, thus cmake . -D….=$KDEDIR/$KDEHOME won't work.
i had to use cmake . -D…=~/.kde

also make install would not work unless root even with this setting

Best regards
Armel

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/kde … worked for me. make install did not required root privileges.
The only problem I noticed was with images not being picked up from ~/kde/share/icons directory.

PS: I'm using a separate directory for builds and clean it up before each run of cmake. Hope this helps.
