Needle 5

Who wants Lancelot?

After to have installed kde 4,1 with the guide mailed previously and to have enriched all with a beautiful one I sudo apt-get install kdeplasma-addons me has come a irresistibile wish to see close give the progresses of “our” Ivan Čukić in the construction of Lancelot. lancelotalpha2.png Here therefore that they are returned to my ancient love, the compilation:

Prerequisiti:
If the installed version of kde is that through packages precompiled (es. following my guide Kde 4,1, easy on Ubuntu Hardy in 5 steps) enough to add client svn, advanced Python 2,5 or and cmake, if instead you have compiled the version “trunk” you will already sure have installed all the development bookcases

Installation:
To modify the rows ~/.bashrc adding these lines:
export YACC='byacc - of
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt4
export KDEDIR=/usr/lib/kde4
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR
export DBUSDIR=/usr
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$DBUSDIR/lib/pkgconfig: $PKG_CONFIG_PATH
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin: $KDEDIR/bin: $PATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib: $KDEDIR/lib: $LD_LIBRARY_PATH
eval `PATH=$DBUSDIR/bin $DBUSDIR/bin/dbus-launch - car-syntax `;
To unload sources: svn Co svn: /anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/lancelot/kde4.1-backport lancelot;
to enter in. .lancelot;
to create a folder dedicated to the compilation (is maintained intact lancelot in way not to have more to effetuare the download in error case), mkdir compiles;
to enter in ../lancelot/compila;
to type cmake - DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR - DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=release. /;
now make and make install.
I have had also to perhaps copy manually the org.kde.lancelot.service rows from /usr/lib/kde4/share/dbus-1/services/ to /usr/share/dbus-1/services because of an error in the setup of DBus.
Memory that is only a alpha even if enough stable and, second me, not too much far from the definitive version, therefore who wants Lancelot, compiles.
