I got PM from Mario clarifying things. I am maintaining KMyMoney on MacPorts and because of it I of course also try to keep KDE afloat on OSX/MacPorts. I am NOT the main KDE maintainer there, but I know that many OSX users do not need another indexing service due to the existence of Spotlight (which is Apple’s baloo). I personally mostly don’t need any indexer, except that I am forced by my email program Mail.app to enable Spotlight for detailed searching features in emails. > You are asking if you can compile stuff without baloo.

No, because I am not yet able to build anything else than the 4.12.4 (which my machine could successfully finish only just now) I cannot test the 4.13. > 1) not install baloo at all > Of course, you're free to not install baloo OK, but with the problems Frank already described... > 2) configure KDE and all relevant apps in such a way that they don’t expect > any services from baloo > What is "KDE”? :) You are right, I meant kdelibs there. But thanks to Frank I already understood that kdelibs itself doesn’t need baloo after all. > Simply replace baloo with libjpeg and the answers will be the same. So, ok, as I wrote in my reply to Frank: I should preferably simply use Vishesh’s suggestion and modify baloo’s configuration file.
