[SOLVED] Problems compiling smb4k

[DiBosco]

I've installed Mageia 1 on my main desktop (it works beautifully) and the next step is to get it working on my main laptop. The lack of smb4k is a real problem, so I'm having a go compiling it on my desktop first where I don't need it, before wiping 2010.2 off the laptop.

So, in the absence of an rpm, I've got the source code and tried compiling it. I get this:

Code: Select all

[robertw@localhost smb4k_build]$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix) -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release . ../smb4k-0.10.10/smb4k

I've looked around the web and people say make sure this and that is installed, make sure you're running cmake from the build directory or the source directory and other things that I have tried without success! I have cmake 2.8.4, so the minimum requirement message seems irrelevant!

Anyone able to advise please?

The minimum required message means that the developer should add this to CMakeLists.txt.
And yes, it is irrelevant. Your problem is the cited error, the other messages are only warnings.

Please make sure that you have kdelibs4-devel and kde4-macros installed.

[DiBosco]

Thanks for the reply. I must be missing something though, because icons/CMakeLists.txt does contain the line:

kde4_install_icons( ${ICON_INSTALL_DIR} )

In fact that's all it contains.

kdelibs4-devel and kde4-macros are, indeed, installed.

Maybe you're just running cmake the wrong way? Try like this:

Code: Select all

[doktor5000@mageia1 smb4k-0.10.10]$ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix) -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release .

The dot at the end (short for ./ or current directory) is the important thing.

Bah, thanks, that works. I had tried the smb4k directory which I took to be the source and the build directory which it specifically says you should use.

Time for another install!
