Compiling Kat from SVN

This page explains how Kat can be compiled from SVN.

Checkout

Kat can be checked out from SVN in two ways. As an (anonymous) tester/user or as a developer. The only difference between an anonymous checkout and a developer checkout is the call to the svn server. It's convenient to store this difference in a variable: SVN. For anonymous checkout we define 'SVN=svn://anonsvn'. For a developer checkout, we define 'SVN=svn+ssh://$username@svn', where $username must be replaced with the name of the user.

A checkout is made with the following commands:

svn co -N $SVN.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base
cd base
svn co $SVN.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kde-common/admin
svn co $SVN.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/playground/base/kat

Then, the checkout needs to be prepared. You need automake (>=1.6.1) and autoconf (>=2.53) for this. Unsermake is reported not to work at the time of writing. And, of course, you need the libraries on which Kat itself depends.

make -f Makefile.cvs
mkdir debug && cd debug
../configure --enable-debug=full

Compiling Kat

To compile Kat then, you'll have to do:

cd kat
make

CLucene

You may want to use CLucene to use the extended capabilities of Kat. You can install CLucene with these commands:

export CVSROOT=:pserver:[email protected]:/cvsroot/clucene
cvs checkout clucene
./autogen.sh
./configure --libdir=/usr/lib
make
sudo make install

Attention: the clucene library will be installed in /usr/lib, so you might have problems, if you've installed another clucene version already.
