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).
|
|
|
|
libuuid: This is part of e2fsprogs, something you will most probably need
|
|
anyway. Get the source and build it from
|
|
http://sourceforge.net/project/showfiles.php?group_id=2406 or, preferably,
|
|
install your distribution's packages (again, don't forget the dev-package).
|
|
|
|
libblkid: Also part of e2fsprogs. See libuuid.
|
|
|
|
KDE4: KDE 4.0 will not work. The minimum required version is 4.1.0.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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-1.0.0.tar.bz2
|
|
$ cd partitionmanager-1.0.0
|
|
$ mkdir build
|
|
$ cd build
|
|
$ cmake ..
|
|
|
|
If all dependencies are met, cmake configures the build directory.
|
|
|
|
If you get an error message like "ERROR: Could not find KDE4 kde4-config" but
|
|
have KDE4 and its development packages installed, you might need to add the
|
|
KDE4 bin directory to the path.
|
|
|
|
|
|
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 you will not be allowed 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.
