| | |
| | |
| = Preparation =
| |
| {{Warning|First, to avoid conflicting copies of software, '''make sure you do not have other copy of Calligra or Calligra software''' either installed through the package manager of your distribution or installed in any other way. Calligra and Calligra are mutually exclusive!}}
| |
| | |
| == Recommended setup ==
| |
| Here is recommendation of a directory structure:
| |
| ;$HOME/kde4/src/:source code
| |
| ;$HOME/kde4/build/calligra:directory that Calligra will be built in
| |
| ;$HOME/kde4/inst:directory that Calligra will be installed in
| |
| | |
| The ''build'' directory is needed because you cannot (or should not) build Calligra inside the source directory; the source and build directory have to be separated.
| |
| | |
| '''Advantages of this setup:'''
| |
| *It is possible to have different builds (e.g. with different options out of the same source code)
| |
| *[http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Increased_Productivity_in_KDE4_with_Scripts David Faure's scripts] can be used to make development easier. With those scripts "make" can be typed in the source directory and building will happen in the right (build) directory automatically.
| |
| | |
| Also, check the [http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 Techbase instructions on setting up a build environment]. That contains some useful scripts and functions.
| |
| | |
| == Geting the source code ==
| |
| There are two options: to get the source code for the latest stable version or for the for the development version. The later option is needed to test, check and give feedback about features that is in development and have not been released yet. If unsure pick the stable version.
| |
| | |
| === Geting the source code for the latest stable version ===
| |
| | |
| The latest stable Calligra version is '''{{Calligra/Stable}}'''.
| |
| * Visit download.kde.org for the latest source code: [http://download.kde.org/download.php?url=stable/calligra-{{Calligra/Stable}}/calligra-{{Calligra/Stable}}.tar.bz2 calligra-{{Calligra/Stable}}.tar.bz2]
| |
| * Check release notes on [http://www.calligra-suite.org/ calligra.org]
| |
| | |
| | |
| === Get the source code for the development version ===
| |
| | |
| {{Warning|You cannot convert your KOffice SVN checkout to a Calligra git checkout. You will need to get the Calligra source code using git and manually apply your changes again.}}
| |
| | |
| The latest development version of Calligra is '''{{Calligra/Unstable}}'''; developers always refer to it as to '''Master'''. Once tested and released, it will become the new current stable version {{Calligra/UnstableBranch}}.
| |
| | |
| XXX: Here we should explain local branches, staging and always-release-ready Master, if we have that setup. XXX
| |
| | |
| *'''Option 1: directly from git'''
| |
| | |
| To retrieve the source code from Git you have to use the following setup:
| |
| | |
| Add the following text to your ~/.gitconfig:
| |
| | |
| [url "git://anongit.kde.org/"]
| |
| insteadOf = kde://
| |
| | |
| pushInsteadOf = kde://
| |
| | |
| Then execute
| |
| | |
| $ git clone kde://calligra
| |
| | |
| By using the kde:// prefix, read access will automatically happen over Git, and authenticated SSH is only required for pushes.
| |
| | |
| Note that pushing your changes will only work if you have a KDE developer identity (https://identity.kde.org/register.php).
| |
| | |
| The $HOME/kde4/src/calligra directory will be created regardless of the way how the source code has been downloaded.
| |
| | |
| *'''Option 2: download a repository tarball'''
| |
| | |
| Go to https://projects.kde.org/projects/extragear/calligra. Press the "Tarball" button. Copy the url text and paste it on your command line. It will look like:
| |
| | |
| wget -c http://anongit1.kde.org/calligra/calligra-latest.tar.gz
| |
| | |
| Unpack and cd into directory, then run
| |
| | |
| $ ./initrepo.sh
| |
| | |
| From now on, you can run
| |
| | |
| $ git pull
| |
| | |
| to update, or
| |
| | |
| $ git rebase origin/master
| |
| | |
| if you have local changes
| |
| | |
| | |
| *'''Option 3: if beta or rc version was released''', the source code for the latest beta can be found on KDE's ftp [ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/unstable/calligra-latest/ calligra-latest]. Uncompress the code so that $HOME/kde4/src/calligra is created.
| |
| | |
| = Build requirements =
| |
| This section provides information about '''hard''' (required) and '''optional''' software packages needed to build the Calligra software.
| |
| | |
| == Hard dependencies ==
| |
| | |
| {{Note|'''A note for developers:''' to add (or remove) a hard dependency, an explanation of the reason, and possibly a discussion must be posted in advance on [email protected]. The new dependency need to be packaged in the most widely used distributions (Debian, Fedora Core, OpenSuSE, (K)ubuntu). First try to make your new feature optional.}} | |
| | |
| Following are the general must-have dependencies for Calligra:
| |
| * Qt 4.6.0
| |
| * kdelibs, the minimal requirement is currently 4.3.0. But Calligra should build fine with either kdelibs from svn (see [http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 techbase] for an explanation on how to compile kdelibs from svn), or any 4.3, 4.4 or 4.5 release packaged in your distribution (4.4.x is recommended) Parts of Calligra build with the Mobile Frameworks Profile of the KDE platform (kword, kspread, kpresenter, krita)
| |
| * kdebase/runtime 4.3 (4.4.x is recommended)
| |
| * kdepimlibs 4.3 (4.4.x is recommended)
| |
| * cmake 2.6.2
| |
| * lcms 1.18
| |
| | |
| For KSpread:
| |
| * libeigen 2.0
| |
| | |
| For Krita:
| |
| * libeigen 2.0
| |
| * libexiv2 >= 0.16
| |
| * libqimageblitz
| |
| | |
| For KPresenter:
| |
| | |
| * boost
| |
| | |
| For Kexi:
| |
| * sqlite and sqlite-devel packages (package names can differ on various distributions), version >= 3.6.16
| |
| | |
| == Optional dependencies ==
| |
| | |
| All optional dependencies are logged at the end of the cmake run, so it is easy to figure out what is missing. The buildsystem also reports what component will bot be built because given missing dependency.
| |
| | |
| == Simplified installation of dependencies on various distributions ==
| |
| *'''deb-based distributions (Debian, Ubuntu...):''' All the dependencies used for the packages can be installed by running
| |
| apt-get build-dep {packagename}
| |
| for instance on Ubuntu:
| |
| sudo apt-get build-dep calligra
| |
| | |
| *'''OpenSuSE:''' All the dependencies used for building Calligra can be installed by running:
| |
| zypper si -d calligra2
| |
| | |
| *'''ArchLinux:''' All the dependencies used for building Calligra can be installed by running:
| |
| sudo pacman -S docbook-xml exiv2 glew graphicsmagick gsl kdebase-runtime kdepimlibs lcms libwpd poppler-qt pstoedit qca qimageblitz shared-mime-info wv2 xdg-utils
| |
| | |
| = Build Calligra =
| |
| {{Note|It is '''not''' possible to build Calligra in the source directory. Set up your directories as described in the [[#Recommended_setup|Recommended setup]] section above}}
| |
| | |
| Type:
| |
| mkdir -p $HOME/kde4/build/calligra
| |
| mkdir -p $HOME/kde4/inst
| |
| cd $HOME/kde4/build/calligra
| |
| cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kde4/inst $HOME/kde4/src/calligra -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo
| |
| | |
| ''cmakekde'' tool can be used as explained on [http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 the build instructions for KDE4].
| |
| | |
| Then type:
| |
| make
| |
| | |
| Note that on dual-core machines compilation can be '''greatly speed up''' with the -j parameter of the ''make'' program, for example for dual-core:
| |
| make -j4
| |
| and for quad-core:
| |
| make -j8
| |
| | |
| Then type this command to install the software:
| |
| make install
| |
| | |
| '''Debugging options.''' Instead of setting CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to "RelWithDebInfo" for cmake which gives an optimized Calligra with debug information, useful for bug reporting, one can set CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE to "Debug" to get a slower Calligra but with even more interesting debuggong (backtrace) information. For this replace ''-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=RelWithDebInfo'' in the above cmake command with ''-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug''.
| |
| | |
| Please follow the [[Building/Building_Calligra#Running_Calligra_applications|Running Calligra Applications]] instructions before trying to run an application.
| |
| | |
| = Updating the already built software =
| |
| If the source code has been checked out Subversion from trunk or a branch, it is possible to update the source code with newly added changes and build again. Usually only changing parts will be built, so this operation would be faster than building the source code from scratch.
| |
| | |
| Type:
| |
| cd $HOME/kde4/src/calligra
| |
| git pull
| |
| cd $HOME/kde4/build/calligra
| |
| make
| |
| make install
| |
| | |
| {{Note|''make -j4'' or ''make -j8'' can be used instead of ''make'' to speedup the build on multicore machines}}
| |
| | |
| {{Note|The above recipe will not work if the source code has not been obtained from Subversion}}
| |
| | |
| = Build only selected applications from Calligra =
| |
| CMake comes with a command-line tool ''ccmake'' that lets you configure build options. You can use it after executing cmake and before executing make. To use it, go to the build directory and issue the following commands:
| |
| cd $HOME/kde4/build/calligra
| |
| ccmake .
| |
| | |
| For applications that you do '''not''' want to compile, set the corresponding BUILD_{application} variable to "off", replacing {application} by the app's name. For instance, setting ''BUILD_krita'' to ''off'' will prevent Krita from being built.
| |
| | |
| Alternatively you can run "-DBUILD_{application}=off" from the cmake command line.
| |
| | |
| = Running Calligra applications =
| |
| There are two options to make the Calligra applications available for running.
| |
| | |
| *'''Option 1: Being able to run Calligra applications from the command line.''' If you have installed Calligra in a different prefix than KDElibs (which was recommended in this document), you may want to set the following environment variable:
| |
| | |
| export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:/path/to/install
| |
| export PATH=$PATH:/path/to/install/bin
| |
| | |
| And then you need to execute:
| |
| kbuildsycoca4
| |
| | |
| For example for the recommended directory structure:
| |
| export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:$HOME/kde4/inst
| |
| export PATH=$PATH:$HOME/kde4/inst/bin
| |
| | |
| *'''Option 2: Being able to run Calligra applications from the menu or by clicking on desktop icons.''' Instead of using ''KDEDIRS'', you can add these lines to $HOME/.kde/share/config/kdeglobals file using text editor:
| |
| | |
| [Directories]
| |
| prefixes=/path/to/install
| |
| | |
| And then you need to execute:
| |
| kbuildsycoca4
| |
| | |
| The advantage of this is that KDE4 will always look for the services where Calligra is installed.
| |
| For example for the recommended directory structure:
| |
| | |
| [Directories]
| |
| prefixes=$HOME/kde4/inst.
| |
| | |
| = Executing unit tests =
| |
| To be able to execute unit tests, you need to explicitely enable them in the build configuration. To do so, set the KDE4_BUILD_TESTS variable to "ON", either by issuing the command <code>cmake -DKDE4_BUILD_TESTS=ON</code>, or by running <code>ccmake .</code>. Both commands must be executed in the build directory.
| |
| | |
| You can then run the test by executing:
| |
| | |
| make test
| |
| | |
| or individually in the tests directories.
| |
| | |
| It is recommended to execute
| |
| | |
| make install
| |
| | |
| before running tests.
| |
| | |
| = CMake Build Options =
| |
| When you enter your build directory, you can type "ccmake ." to see many build options, e.g. you can turn off compilation of apps you don't want - you can save time when compiling.
| |
| | |
| Here is list for Krita related options:
| |
| * HAVE_MEMORY_LEAK_TRACKER [On/Off] - You can turn on compilation of the tool in krita which detects memory leak. If you want to help debug Krita memory usage, it is useful. Otherwise you just slow down your Krita.
| |
| * HAVE_BACKTRACE_SUPPORT [On/Off] - It is related to the memory leak tool. If you activate, you will be able to see code path which leads to memory leak.
| |
| | |
| = Resources =
| |
| *[[DeveloperInfo|Useful hints for who wants to hack on Calligra]]
| |
| *[http://wiki.opengtl.org/libraries:developers-resources opengtl debugging, or turning it off]
| |
| *[http://winkde.org/pub/kde/ports/win32/dashboard/ Status of Calligra build on Windows (msvc 2008, mingw)]
| |
| | |
| = Possible issues =
| |
| | |
| If you get errors when running an application like:
| |
| | |
| krita(8565)/calligra (lib komain) KoPluginLoader::load: Loading plugin "Animation Tool" failed,
| |
| "Cannot load library /home/michael/kde4/inst/lib/kde4/kpresentertoolanimation.so:
| |
| (/home/michael/kde4/inst/lib/libkopageapp.so.7: undefined symbol:
| |
| _ZN28KoShapeContainerDefaultModel3addEP7KoShape)" ( 1 )
| |
| | |
| or crashes when starting an application, then you very likely have a version of Calligra installed through your package manager. '''As emphasized earlier in this document, you can only have one version of Calligra, and you should uninstall your packaged Calligra'''.
