Hello, In this moment, cmake support for tqtinterface, arts and kdelibs are ready for building tests. Some info about cmake build system: 1) preffered mode for building are "out-of-source", which prevent sources to be "polluted" with generated files and compiled objects (in kde4 out-of-source mode are mandatory). For example, tqtinterfaces will be configured in this way: mkdir /tmp/tqtinterface cd /tmp/tqtinterface svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/trinity/dependencies/tqtinterface mkdir build cd build cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr ../tqtinterface make -j 3 make install DESTDIR=/tmp/tqtinterface/install 2) There are some standard rules to activate/deactivate features: For example, kdelibs have: WITH_LIBART, WITH_ARTS, WITH_TIFF, etc (for rest of options check kdelibs/CMakeLists.txt) For compile kdelibs with arts and tiff and without aspell, we will run: cmake -DWITH_ARTS=ON -DWITH_TIFF=ON -DWITH_ASPELL=OFF <path_to_sources> 3) If we need to alter standard install directories we have variables like BIN_INSTALL_DIR, SYSCONFDIR, XDG_MENUDIR. Example: cmake cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde3 -DSYSCONFDIR=/etc <sources> 4) Enabling RPATH: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_RPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/lib ################################### (almost) complete example, kdelibs for ubuntu: cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde3 \ -DINCLUDE_INSTALL_DIR=/opt/kde3/include/kde \ -DSYSCONFDIR=/etc \ -DWITH_LIBIDN=ON -DWITH_SSL=ON -DWITH_LIBART=ON \ -DWITH_ALSA=ON -DWITH_ARTS=ON -DWITH_CUPS=ON \ -DWITH_JASPER=ON -DWITH_OPENEXR=ON -DWITH_ASPELL=ON \ -DWITH_TIFF=ON -DWITH_LUA=OFF \ <path to kdelibs sources> LUA support are disabled because is not done yet. If you won't using RPATH, ensure that LD_LIBRARY_PATH is correcty set, otherwise kdelibs will fail when will try to use mcopidl. For testing, are preferable to use big number of concurrent compile processes (-j 10, for example), to check if all dependencies are compiled in proper order. -- Serghei

I recently tried Debian builds based on CMake. tqtinterface works perfectly, but arts fails. Here is a link to the build log: http://quickbuild.pearsoncomputing.net:58080/1375214/buildlog_ubuntu-squeez e-i386.arts-trinity_4%3A3.5.12-0debian7%2Br1183227%2Brebuild2_FAILEDTOBUILD. txt.gz

Thanks for your fast reply! Setting CMAKE_SKIP_RPATH allowed arts to compile. Did you include support for generating the man pages? I haven't had a chance to debug it thoroughly yet, but it looks like the man pages are either not generated or not installed in the same location as the old Automake system. I'll post an update later on after I've had a chance to poke around in the installation directories.
