CMake prefix path
March 7th 2009 06:59 pm
I remembered reading the discussion on kde-buildsystem about CMake 2.6′s CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH environment variable. I just forgot to add it to kdesvn-build.
Today it finally caught up with me: A build failure I was having ended up being due to not having CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH defined. Although adding it to the environment manually certainly works, it’s something that should have been in kdesvn-build. Well, it is now, at least in the /trunk version of kdesvn-build. It will also be in the next release of kdesvn-build.
My recommended workaround until then is simply to manually export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/path/to/kde/install/prefix before running kdesvn-build (easiest would be to add to your .bashrc). Otherwise if you have a system KDE 4 (or the dependencies, like akonadi, strigi, etc.) then there is a good chance CMake will prefer the system installation to your kdesvn-build install and you’ll have build problems for modules expecting the trunk version of various dependencies.

Why don’t you release a stable version (1.8.1?) with this issue resolved?

I will, but I’m also not going to fall over myself doing so since there’s several perfectly good workarounds in place. The patch I used was more than a simple one-liner, so until I’ve had people using it for a few days so I know it doesn’t break for anyone, I’m not going to release a “stable” upgrade. Once I feel confident it’s well-tested I’ll make a release.
I will note you can also use set-env in your kdesvn-buildrc to accomplish the same thing with the current release of kdesvn-build. i.e. if you had a install dir of $HOME/kde-4:
global
… other global options
set-env CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH /home/user/kde-4
end global
