In the following we give the dependencies to install. However it might change and this page might be quickly outdated.

Note

If some packages fail to install, you can try removing the ones that don't work from the list.


Reading the CMakeLists.txt of the packages you want to install should help you finding what you really need to install. Or read the error logs (see below).

If you need help, see https://community.kde.org/Get_Involved#Getting_in_touch_and_working_together


Enable the source repositories

Some operating systems also require that you enable on the source repositories before you can install build dependencies. Do that now, if necessary:

  • Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Debian: sudo sed -i '/deb-src/s/^# //' /etc/apt/sources.list && sudo apt update (for more information, see https://askubuntu.com/questions/158871/how-do-i-enable-the-source-code-repositories)
  • openSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed: sudo zypper mr -e $(zypper repos | awk '/source/{print $5}')
  • Gentoo is all built from sources anyway, so in most cases all necessary build dependencies for installed packages will be available from the get-go, but for convenience this page will refer to sets available from KDE ebuild repository:
    emerge eselect-repository && eselect repository enable kde


If you don't see your distro in the above list, then there's nothing you need to do here and you can safely move on.

Any dependencies

KDE neon, Debian, Ubuntu, Kubuntu

All the build packages known by the package you want to build can be installed by running:

sudo apt build-dep <package you want to build>

For example, to install the build dependencies for Dolphin, run:

sudo apt build-dep dolphin

For all of the KDE Frameworks 5

Arch and Manjaro

All the dependencies used for building frameworks can be installed by running:

$ sudo pacman -Syu --needed phonon-qt5 qt5-webkit qt5-script qt5-svg qt5-tools qt5-x11extras enchant jasper openexr libutempter docbook-xsl shared-mime-info giflib libxss upower udisks2 bzr git doxygen perl-json perl-libwww perl-xml-parser perl-io-socket-ssl akonadi xorg-server-devel libpwquality fontforge eigen libfakekey qca-qt5 xapian-core xsd gperf perl-yaml-syck intltool kdesdk qrencode libdmtx boost ruby-test-unit

Fedora

If dependencies are missing for a specific RPM package, you can do sudo dnf builddep <name_of_rpm_package>.

Most of the dependencies used for building frameworks can be installed by running:

$ sudo dnf install bison flex giflib-devel gperf gpgmepp-devel grantlee-qt5-devel kf5-kconfigwidgets-devel libaccounts-glib-devel libaccounts-qt5-devel libattr-devel libdrm-devel libepoxy-devel libgcrypt-devel libical-devel libinsane-devel libjpeg-turbo-devel libnl3-devel LibRaw-devel libsndfile-devel libSM-devel libXext-devel libxml2-devel libXrender-devel libxslt-devel libXtst-devel lm_sensors-devel lmdb-devel meson ModemManager-devel NetworkManager-libnm-devel ninja-build openal-soft-devel openjpeg2-devel openjpeg-devel openssl-devel perl-FindBin perl-IPC-Cmd perl-JSON-PP perl-YAML-Syck polkit-devel qgpgme-devel qrencode-devel qtkeychain-qt5-devel signon-devel systemd-devel wayland-devel xcb*-devel libqalculate* dbus-glib-devel* libmission-control-plugins* gmp-ecm* itstool libsmbclient-devel kdsoap-devel libssh-devel libmtp-devel libtirpc-devel openexr-devel qaccessibilityclient-devel gstreamer1-plugins-base-devel qt5-qttools-static qt5-qtbase-static qt5-qtdeclarative-devel qt5-qtx11extras-devel qt5-qtbase-private-devel qt5-qtsvg-devel qt5-qtwayland-devel qt5-qtconfiguration-devel qca-qt5-devel qt5-qtquickcontrols2-devel kf5-kcmutils-devel pipewire-devel libolm-devel libxkbcommon-x11-devel

Fix for QCA build Library Problems (Fedora 35)

sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libpthread.so.0 /usr/lib64/libpthread.so
sudo ln -s /usr/lib64/libdl.so.2 /usr/lib64/libdl.so

Gentoo

Make use of sets provided by KDE ebuild repository to ensure all frameworks packages are installed, thus pulling in all necessary dependencies.

# emerge --ask --verbose @kde-frameworks

Pay attention to the resulting list of packages to be installed and enable additional USE flags to ensure optional dependencies are installed as well.

openSUSE

Installing required development packages with zypper

Generally you can install the required -devel packages that are needed to build some KDE software from source by using zypper (as root, or by using sudo), e.g. to install the -devel packages required to build dolphin from source:

# zypper --plus-content repo-source source-install --build-deps-only dolphin

replace dolphin with some other package name, e.g. to build ktexteditor from source:

# zypper --plus-content repo-source source-install --build-deps-only ktexteditor

Note that the --plus-content option in the above commands means you don't need to have the source repository enabled all the time, --plus-content will make zypper temporarily enable it to get the info it needs.

openSUSE (and most other RPM-based Linux distributions) support cmake() BuildRequires, which means you can install a development package like so:

# zypper install 'cmake(KF5KIO)'

the part between the parenthesis KF5KIO is going to be in the error message that CMake will print in the terminal if you try to build something that requires e.g. KIO if KIO development headers aren't installed.

openSUSE Leap 15 (Argon)

openSUSE Tumbleweed

This more complete list allows to compile everything that kdesrc-build's default setup (kf5-qt5-build-include) compiles. Note that it doesn't contain Qt or Qt-based libs, you need that on top, or to compile your own Qt (and then include custom-qt5-libs-build-include in kdesrc-buildrc).

  • OPEN ISSUES:
    • libeigen2-devel is no longer available on Tumbleweed via official repos, though it's only needed for kdelibs4support

For Plasma

  • Arch/Antergos/Manjaro: sudo pacman -Syu --needed plasma-desktop plasma-wayland-session plasma-workspace kwin
  • Fedora: sudo dnf install libpcap-devel libnl3-devel libsecret-devel; sudo dnf builddep bluedevil breeze-gtk kde-gtk-config kgamma kscreen kwin plasma-breeze plasma-desktop plasma-discover plasma-disks plasma-drkonqi plasma-firewall plasma-integration plasma-milou plasma-nm plasma-pa plasma-systemmonitor plasma-systemsettings plasma-thunderbolt plasma-vault plasma-wayland-protocols plasma-workspace plasma-workspace-geolocation plasma-workspace-wallpapers plymouth-kcm powerdevil sddm-kcm
  • Gentoo: emerge --ask --verbose @kde-plasma
  • KDE neon/Kubuntu/Ubuntu/Debian sudo apt build-dep plasma-desktop plasma-workspace kwin
  • openSUSE Leap & Tumbleweed: sudo zypper si -d plasma5-desktop plasma5-workspace kwin5

Any other dependencies can be figured out and installed as you continue building the modules one by one.

Though qt6 is listed as an optional dependency in the build phase and already available in some Linux distros, only building with qt5 is currently supported. See https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=442296

Quick fixes for package manager errors

The above lists might not always be working out of the box on your specific distribution or might be out of date for individual packages. In many cases removing single packages from the lists above still allows you to build many KDE frameworks and applications.

In case it is a package added by a regex, you can exclude the specific package by a workaround using sed. Let us assume for an example that we want to install "libkf5.*-dev" on deb-based systems but have uninstallable packages libkf5example1-dev, libkf5example2-dev. Then we install all "libkf5.*-dev" packages excluding libkf5example1-dev and libkf5example2-dev through:

$ sudo apt install $(apt-cache search -n "libkf5.*-dev" | sed 's/ - .*//' | sed '/libkf5example1-dev/d' | sed '/libkf5example2-dev/d')
