According to the instructions at for example http://developer.kde.org/build/compile_cvs.html I did the following:
created a new user account 'kde4' checkout kdelibs-snapshot in /home/kde4/kde4_checkout cd kdelibs4_snapshot mkdir obj cd obj cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/home/kde4/kde4 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull .. make No problems so far. Then I did 'make install' as user kde4. This fails because make tries to install some things in /usr/local/lib. The first one is: CMake Error: Error in cmake code at /home/kde4/kde4_checkout/kdelibs4_snapshot/obj/kdefx/cmake_install.cmake:30: FILE error when creating symlink from: /usr/local/lib/libkdefx.so to libkdefx.so.5 make: *** [install] Error 255 The kdefx/cmake_install.cmake line looks as follows: FILE(INSTALL DESTINATION "/usr/local/lib" TYPE SHARED_LIBRARY PROPERTIES VERSION 5.0.0 SOVERSION 5 FILES "/home/kde4/kde4_checkout/kdelibs4_snapshot/obj/lib/libkdefx.so") So why does cmake/make try to install things in /usr/local/lib even though I defined CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX? Is there another/better way to setup a kde4 development system?
