Building and installing KDE Partition Manager from source
|
|
=========================================================
|
|
|
|
|
|
1. Dependencies
|
|
|
|
libparted: Either get it from http://www.gnu.org/software/parted/download.shtml
|
|
and build it yourself or, preferably, install your distribution's packages
|
|
(don't forget the dev-package).
|
|
|
|
libblkid: Part of the util-linux-ng project available at
|
|
http://userweb.kernel.org/~kzak/util-linux-ng/.
|
|
|
|
libatasmart: Available from http://0pointer.de/blog/projects/being-smart.html
|
|
|
|
KDE4: KDE 4.2 or earlier will not work. The minimum required version is 4.3.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
2. Configure
|
|
|
|
KDE Partition Manager is built with cmake, like most of KDE4 today. It is
|
|
recommended to build out of tree: After unpacking the source, create a separate
|
|
build directory and run cmake there:
|
|
|
|
$ tar xfj partitionmanager-1.0.60.tar.bz2
|
|
$ cd partitionmanager-1.0.60
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ cmake ..
|
|
|
|
If all dependencies are met, cmake configures the build directory.
|
|
|
|
|
|
3. Build and install
|
|
|
|
Just run make and make install in the build directory. The default install path
|
|
is /usr/local, so installing will need write privileges there. You can
|
|
configure a different install path by passing
|
|
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<your_path> to cmake when configuring. To change the
|
|
install path after configuring and building, run
|
|
|
|
$ ccmake .
|
|
|
|
in the build directory and modify CMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX there.
|
|
|
|
|
|
4. Running
|
|
|
|
KDE Partition Manager should be run as root. Running it as an unprivileged user
|
|
does no harm, but the default settings will not allow you to apply any
|
|
operations (i.e., you can click through the UI, but cannot modify your disks).
|
|
|
|
|
|
5. Troubleshooting
|
|
|
|
If you are getting an error like this during the build:
|
|
|
|
index.docbook:71: parser error : Entity 'partman' not defined
|
|
|
|
there is a problem with a documentation file. This is easily fixed by
|
|
commenting out the offending language in doc/CMakeLists.txt -- the error
|
|
message should indicate which language causes the error. As an alternative, you
|
|
can disable building all documentation by commenting out the
|
|
macro_optional_add_subdirectory(doc) line in the toplevel CMakeLists.txt file.
