Hi,
can someone help quickly please. I am facing an issue with vCal format
conversion "quoted printable" and charset: UTF-8.
I git cloned the tdepim package and following previous instructions I
updated submodule for cmake.
I do mkdir testbuild ; cd testbuild; cmake ..; make but nothing happens.
What am I doing wrong? This same procedure worked for tdelibs and some other
packages.
I wanted to debug having the know how to add test capabilities - I wanted to
add testing for libkcal and wanted to compile but in vain.
Thanks in advance
PS: the problem is that fromString is not working (fails) for TODO.

Hi Emanoil,
as Mike said, that is the way you build package starting from source in Debian/Ubuntu. I
build them the same way.
It building tdepim fails, there are two possibilities:
1) you are missing some dependency packages. This is most likely not highlighted when
invoking cmake directly from CLI.
If you use dpkg-buildpackage or pbuilder, they will check dependencies as well in the
process and inform you if a
required package is missing.
2) you are using Debian/Stretch and a recent change in a package cause a FTBFS, in which
case we will need to prepare a
fix for.
Most likely you are in case 1), although occasionally I run into 2) here and there (I use
Debian/Stretch).
Cheers

I've done a rebuild tdepim 14.0.4~pre on Stretch and was completely without
problems. It seems that so far no updates in Stretch did not cause breakage
tdepim.
Tip for installing necessary dependencies:
apt-get build-dep tdepim-trinity
Tip for building: in debian/rules you can find DEB_CMAKE_EXTRA_FLAGS ==
options, which are used to build on Debian / Ubuntu.

Hi Emanoil,
I understand what you want to do, but the point is that just using cmake is not (or may
not be) enough, because if a
dependency package is missing from your system then the build would fail and you would not
know why.
If you just want a simple build, you can try this:
1) clone the required module (tdepim)
2) clone the packaging info from the tde-packaging repo for the same module. This contains
debian related compiling stuff.
3) copy the debian folder from 2) to 1)
4) fakeroot debian/rules build. This will compile everything but will not build any .deb
package at the end.
This way though you are still missing out on dependency check, so if any of the required
packages is not available on
your system, the compilation will most likely fails.
Just for info, Debian/Ubuntu have their own way and their own tools to easy compiling,
building and packaging stuff. I
strongly encourage you to spend a little bit of time to learn those things, you will get a
lot of benefits once you
understand that ;-)

I think you did not passed any arguments to cmake command. The correct command
should be something like this:
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/path/to/kdelibs -DBUILD_ALL=ON -DWITH_ALL_FEATURES=ON

Thanks, this works now.
I don't know what you mean with debian has tools for building - I thought I
knew at least enough. And what I knew was sufficient to create/modify/build
debian packages for some years now. It is also easy for me to understand
why the rules file works. It is not easy to understand why in the case of
tdepim it is necessary to go this way. Thanks for the motivation to try it

PS: I removed kitchensync and the dependency on libopensync as obviously I
don't want to build the former at this stage.

Building from source and then creating packages requires a lot of work.
Debian/Ubuntu provides tools that automate most
of it, you just need to learn a few basic commands.
See here for some intro: https://www.debian.org/doc/manuals/maint-guide/build.en.html
Usually you build with dpkg-buildpackage or pbuilder, these are programs that take care of
everything (config, checking
dependencies, compiling, packaging, linting, ....). Moreover with pbuilder you can quickly
build in a clean chroot
environment, making sure you always build everything correctly.
It is really worth spending the time required to learn to compile/build in the Debian way,
you will save much more time
later on.

Hi and thank you for the good words. I spend time learning and I will do so

I read this document few years ago - from the time of squeeze. Looking now
at it - it didn't change (that) much. I just never had the opportunity to
use most of it and with time passing by a lot vanished from my memory, but
thanks to knotes I have still a reference points.
I went briefly through the document and I do not see things that are new to
me.
I was just use to automake. I read a howto on cmake 5y ago, but did not use
it frequently. I was expecting cmake to create working files, but in this
case I need the debian/rules file to create working cmake file. This is the
point that I was missing and I still do not understand why this should be
the case. Usually it is the opposite.
But thanks - this was a good help.
