A quick progress report on my KDE efforts, without much progress, actually. In the meantime, I got kdelibs compiled; some of the tests fail. But the "hello world" program of some tutorial I found on the web compiles and runs. I also compiled a "real" KDE application, ktouch. Now when one wants to run it, one needs kde-runtime with (at least) lots of qml resources. I think there would be quite some work, and maybe we would need to define some new search paths, for Qt and/or KDE. For instance, the configure of Phonon complains about the following: -- PHONON_QT_IMPORTS_DIR is set to /gnu/store/50kyr9zs06cvp7ra22zs68zb05gq2xcf-phonon-4.8.3/lib64/qt 4/imports. The QML plugins for Phonon will not be installed into the Qt system installation directory, which is /gnu/store/lc0dijbmvl6a14zqi924azqrdsx34vwl-qt-4.8.6/imports . This means the QML plugins file will not be found by default. You can: * switch the cmake option PHONON_INSTALL_QT_EXTENSIONS_INTO_SYSTEM_QT to TRUE * set PHONON_QT_IMPORTS_INSTALL_DIR manually to the system Qt location * at runtime, set the QML_IMPORT_PATH environment variable -- PHONON_QT_MKSPECS_INSTALL_DIR is set to /gnu/store/50kyr9zs06cvp7ra22zs68zb05gq2xcf-phonon-4.8.3/ share/qt4/mkspecs/modules. The Qt mkspecs file for Phonon will not be installed into the Qt system installation directory , which is /gnu/store/lc0dijbmvl6a14zqi924azqrdsx34vwl-qt-4.8.6/mkspecs/modules . This means the qt_phonon.pri file will not be found by default. You can: * switch the cmake option PHONON_INSTALL_QT_EXTENSIONS_INTO_SYSTEM_QT to TRUE * set PHONON_QT_MKSPECS_INSTALL_DIR manually to the system Qt location * at runtime, with Qt >= 4.8, set the QMAKEPATH environment variable -- PHONON_QT_PLUGIN_INSTALL_DIR is set to /gnu/store/50kyr9zs06cvp7ra22zs68zb05gq2xcf-phonon-4.8.3/lib64/qt4/plugins/designer. The Qt designer plugins for Phonon will not be installed into the Qt system installation directory, which is /gnu/store/lc0dijbmvl6a14zqi924azqrdsx34vwl-qt-4.8.6/plugins/designer . This means the designer plugins file will not be found by default. You can: * switch the cmake option PHONON_INSTALL_QT_EXTENSIONS_INTO_SYSTEM_QT to TRUE * set PHONON_QT_PLUGINS_INSTALL_DIR manually to the system Qt location * at runtime, set the QT_PLUGIN_PATH environment variable Right now, I feel it does not make much sense to invest an arbitrary amount of time here. Instead, I will start looking at kde-5 (without much urgency; there is no reason to believe it will be easier, but the time will probably be better spent). Andreas
