 + + + + + + + + +2005 +Michael Pyne + + + +2005 +Carlos Woelz + + + +&FDLNotice; + +2005-06-18 +0.98 + + +The &tdesvn-build; is a Perl script which builds and installs &kde; directly from the sources found in the &kde; &svn; repository. + + + +KDE +tdesdk +SVN +Subversion +KDE development + + + + + + +Introduction + + +&tdesvn-build; is a Perl script to help users install &kde; from &svn;. You may also want to +consider the kde-build script include with &kde;'s tdesdk module. + + + +Here we document the &tdesvn-build; configuration file syntax and options, its +command line options, features, and an overview of all necessary steps required +to build &kde; from source, including the steps which you should perform using +other tools, or in other words, steps that are not automatically performed +by the &tdesvn-build; script. + + + + + +Getting Started + + +In this chapter, we show how to use the &tdesvn-build; to checkout modules from the +&kde; repository and build them. We also provide a basic explanation of the &kde; +&svn; structure and the steps you have to perform before running the script. + + + +All topics present in this chapter are covered with even more detail in the + +Building &kde; from Source Step by Step Guide, at the +&kde; Quality Team Website. +If you are compiling KDE for the first time, it is a good idea to read +it, or consult it as a reference source. You will find detailed information +about packaging tools and requirements, common compilation pitfalls and +strategies and information about running your new &kde; installation. + + + +Preparing the System to Build &kde; + + +It is recommended that you download and build &kde; using a user +account. If you already have &kde; packages installed, the best choice +would be to create a different (dedicated) user to build and run the new &kde;. +The advantage of building &kde; with a dedicated user is you can not break +the base system, and you will always have a way to comfortably work when +things go wrong. + + + +Later, you can do a root installation if you wish. This document +does not cover a root installation. If you are performing a system +wide install, you probably already know what you are doing anyway. + + +Before using the &tdesvn-build; script (or any other building +strategy) you must install the development tools and libraries needed for &kde;. +You need the Qt library, version 3.3.0 or greater, Automake 1.8, +Autoconf 2.5X (better if >=2.57 as a bug was reported with lower versions), +the subversion (svn) client, the gcc compiler with C++ support, libxml2, +openssl, libbz2, and many more (for a complete list, visit the +KDE Compilation +Requirements). You can usually get those tools packaged for your system +from your distribution or vendor. + + + +Some of these packages are divided into libs, programs or utilities and +development packages. You will need at least the program or library and +its development package. If in doubt, install all. The libraries you need +will change depending on the modules you intend to build, as each module +has its own requirements. The + +Building &kde; from Source Step by Step Guide has more details +about the specific tools and techniques used to install and find the +required software. + + + +You probably already have a version of the &tdesvn-build; script installed +in your system. &tdesvn-build;requires you to create a configuration file, named +.tdesvn-buildrc. This file should be installed on +the home folder (~/), and contain all configuration data +required for the script to run, like configuration options, +compiling options, location of the sources, the destination of the installation +(prefix), the modules that should be built, &etc;. The default configuration +data is provided by the tdesvn-buildrc-sample file. +You can find more information about the syntax of the configuration file +in and in . + + + +A good way to get the latest version is to browse the tdesdk/scripts page +at the websvn.kde.org website. +You will see a list of the files available in the tdesdk/scripts directory in +the &kde; &svn; repository. Click the &tdesvn-build; link and download +the latest version of the script. Do the same for the +tdesvn-buildrc-sample file. +Make the script executable, and be sure it is in your path. + + + + + +Setting the Configuration Data + + +To use the script, you must have a file in your home directory called +.tdesvn-buildrc, which sets the general options and sets the modules +you would like to download and build. + + + +Use the tdesvn-buildrc-sample file as a +template, setting global options, and the modules you want to build. + + + +Select the server used to check out from &svn;, by setting the svn-server +global option. The default is the anonymous &svn; repository, +svn://anonsvn.kde.org/, but change it +if you have a &kde; +&svn; account, or if there is +a mirror close to you. + + + +Pay close attention to the tdedir and qtdir global variables, as the first sets +where your &kde; build is going to be installed, (by default to +~/kde), and the second where (and if) your qt library is +going to be built and installed, (by default to +~/tdesvn/build/qt-copy). You will need to know the +tdedir and qtdir location later, to set up the environment variables +that are necessary to run your new installation. +Check if the listed modules are in fact the modules you want to build. +The default options from the tdesvn-buildrc-sample file +should be enough to get a fairly complete &kde; installation. +Save the resulting as .tdesvn-buildrc in your home +folder. + + + +If you wish to fine tune your .tdesvn-buildrc, +consult for detailed information +about all configuration options. + + + + + +Using the &tdesvn-build; script + + +Now you are ready to run the script. From a terminal window, +log in to the user you are using to compile &kde; and execute +the script: + +%su devel-username +%tdesvn-build + + + + +Now, the script should start downloading the sources and compiling them. It is +unlikely that you will succeed in the first time you compile &kde;. Do not despair! +Check the log files to see if you are missing some tools or development packages +(the location of the log files is set by the log-dir variable in the configuration +file). Sometimes, the main development branch get very unstable and hard to build, +especially when a development freeze is close. Be patient. You can find more common +examples of things that can go wrong and their solutions, as well as general tips and +strategies to build &kde; in the + +Building &kde; from Source Step by Step Guide. + + + + + +Setting the Environment to Run Your Fresh &kde; + + +Assuming you are using a dedicated user to build &kde;, and you already have +an installed &kde; version, running your new &kde; may be a bit tricky, as the new &kde; +has to take precedence over the old. Change the environment variables to +make sure it does. + + + +Open or create the .bash_profile file in the home directory with your favorite editor, +and add to the end of the file: + + +TDEDIR=(path to tdedir) +TDEDIRS=$TDEDIR +PATH=$TDEDIR/bin:$TQTDIR/bin:$PATH +LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH +export TDEDIRS PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH + + +If you are building the qt-copy module, add instead: + + +TQTDIR=(path to qtdir) +TDEDIR=(path to tdedir) +TDEDIRS=$TDEDIR +PATH=$TDEDIR/bin:$TQTDIR/bin:$PATH +MANPATH=$TQTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH +LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TDEDIR/lib:$TQTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH +export TQTDIR TDEDIRS PATH MANPATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH + + + + +If you are not using a dedicated user, set a different $TDEHOME for your +new environment in your .bash_profile: + + +export TDEHOME="${HOME}/.tde-svn" + +# Create it if needed +[ ! -e ~/.tde-svn ] && mkdir ~/.tde-svn + + + + + +If later your menu is empty or too crowded with applications from your distribution, +you may have to set the xdg environment variables in your .bash_profile: + + +XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/etc/xdg" +XDG_DATA_DIRS="${TDEDIR}/share:/usr/share" +export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS XDG_DATA_DIRS + + + + + + +Now that we are done with the you have to make sure that the right starttde +script is going to be used: + + + +Open the .xinitrc text file (or .xsession, +depending on the distribution) from the home directory, or create it if necessary. Add the +line: + + +exec ${TDEDIR}/bin/starttde + + + + +Now start your fresh &kde;: in BSD and Linux systems with virtual terminal support, +Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12 keystroke combinations are used to switch to Virtual Console 1 through 12. +This allows you to run more than one desktop environment at the same time. The fist six are +text terminals and the following six are graphical displays. + + + +If when you boot you are presented to the graphical display manager instead, you can +use the new KDE environment, even if it is not listed as an option. Press Crtl + Alt + F2, +and you will be presented to a text terminal. Log in using the dedicated user and type: + + + +startx -- :1 + + + + +You can run the KDE from sources and the old KDE at the same time! Log in using your regular user, +start the stable KDE desktop. Press Crtl + Alt + F2 (or F1, F3, etc..), and you will be presented +to a text terminal. Log in using the dedicated user and type "startx -- :1". You can go back to the +regular user by pressing Crtl + Alt + F6 (Or F7, F8, etc... Try them out! One of them is the right +one.) To return to KDE from sources, press Crtl + Alt + F7 (or F6, F8,etc..). Now you can switch +between your KDE versions, and test the new one knowing you can quickly return to the safety of +the stable KDE desktop. + + + + + + + + + +Script Features + + +&tdesvn-build; features include: + + + + + + +Automatically checks out or updates modules from &svn;, as +appropriate. + + + +Times the build process for modules. + + + +Automatically tries to rebuild modules that were using incremental +make, which is prone to failure after certain kinds of commits. + + + +Can resume a previous script, or start the build process from a particular +module. + + + +Comes built-in with a sane set of default options appropriate for building +a base &kde; single-user installation from the anonymous &svn; repository. + + + +Comes with Unsermake +support. + + + +Tilde-expansion for your configuration options. For example, you can +specify: +qtdir ~/tdesvn/build/qt-copy + + + +Configurable build, source, and logging directories + + + +Automatically sets up a build system, with the source directory not the +same as the build directory, in order to keep the source directory +pristine. The exception is qt-copy, which is not designed to be built like +that (unless you would like to test the +qt with a separate build directory hack). + + + +You can specify global options to apply to every module to check out, and +you can specify options to apply to individual modules as well. + + + +Since the autotools sometimes get out of sync with changes to the +source tree, you can force a rebuild of a module by creating a file called +.refresh-me in the build directory of the module in question, or by running +&tdesvn-build; with the option. + + + +You can specify various environment values to be used during the build, +including TDEDIR, TQTDIR, DO_NOT_COMPILE, +and CXXFLAGS. + + + +Command logging. Logs are dated and numbered so that you always have a +log of a script run. Also, a special symlink called latest is created to +always point to the most recent log entry in the log directory. + + + +If you are using a user build of &kde; instead of a system build (for which +you must be root to install), you can use the script to install for you. I +haven not audited this code, and it makes ample use of the system() +call, so I would not recommend running it as root at this point. + + + +You can use make-install-prefix to +prefix the make install command line with a separate command, which is useful +for sudo. + + + +You can use the apidox option to automatically +build and install the API documentation for some modules. + + + +You can check out only a portion of a &kde; &svn; module. For example, +you could check out only the taglib from +tdesupport, or only K3B from +extragear/multimedia. The script will automatically pull in +kde-common if necessary to make the build work. + + + +You can pretend to do the operations. If you pass + or on the +command line, the script will give a very verbose description of the commands +it is about to execute, without actually executing it. + + + +Support for checking out specific branches of &svn; +modules. This work still needs to be completed, but you already select the branch you +want to build using the module-base-path +configuration option. + + + + + +Things that &tdesvn-build; does NOT do: + + + + + +Find the fastest &kde; &svn; mirror. There is not even a list shipped +with the script at this point, although the default server should work +fine. + + + +Brush your teeth. You should remember to do that yourself. + + + +The script probably is not bug-free. Sorry. + + + + + + + +The Format of .tdesvn-buildrc + + +To use the script, you must have a file in your home directory called +.tdesvn-buildrc, which describes the modules you would +like to download and build. + + + + + +It starts with the global options, specified like the following: + + + +global +option-name option-value +[...] +end global + + + +It is then followed by one or more module sections, specified like the +following: + + + +module module-name +option-name option-value +[...] +end module + + + +module-name must be a module from the &kde; &svn; repository (for +example, tdelibs or tdebase). Some options override global options, some +add to global options, and some global options simply can't be overridden. + + + +The following is an alphabetized list of options you can use. Click on the +option to find out more about it. If one is not documented, please e-mail the +authors using the address you can find above. + + + +apidox, to build API Documentation +apply-qt-patches, to enhance qt-copy +binpath, to set the PATH variable. +branch, to checkout from a branch instead of /trunk. +build-dir, to set the directory to build in. +checkout-only, to checkout only parts of a module. +colorful-output to add color to the script output. +configure-flags to define what flags to configure a module with. +cxxflags to define the CXXFLAGS variable. +dest-dir to change the directory name for a module. +disable-agent-check, to keep tdesvn-build from checking on ssh-agent's status. +do-not-compile, to mark directories to skip building. +inst-apps, to only build and install some directories. +install-after-build, to avoid installing after the build process. +tdedir, to set the directory to install KDE to. +libpath, to set the LD_LIBRARY_PATH variable. +make-install-prefix, to run a helper program (like sudo) during make install. +make-options, to pass options to the make program. +manual-build, to avoid building the module automatically. +manual-update, to avoid doing anything to the module automatically. +module-base-path, to change where to download the module from (useful for branches and tags). +niceness, to change the CPU priority. +no-rebuild-on-fail, to avoid running make again if it fails. +qtdir, to set the path to Qt. +set-env, to set an environment variable. +source-dir, to change where to download the source code to. +stop-on-failure, to make tdesvn-build stop as soon as a failure is encountered. +svn-server, to change the server the sources are downloaded from. +use-qt-builddir-hack, to give Qt a separate build directory from its source like KDE. +use-unsermake, to use the advanced unsermake build system. + + + + +Here is a table of the various options, and some comments on them. Any +option which overrides the global option will override a command line setting +as well. + + + +Table of Options + + + + +Option-name +Module -> Global Behavior +Notes + + + + + + +apidox +Overrides global +Set this option to true in order to have &tdesvn-build; automatically +build and install the API documentation for the module after the normal build/install +process. This only works for modules where make apidox does something, +including tdelibs, tdebase, and koffice, among others. + + + + +apply-qt-patches +Overrides global +This option is only useful for qt-copy. If it is set to a non-zero value, +then the apply-patches script in qt-copy will be run prior to building, in +order to apply the non-official patches to the qt-copy. Since these patches +are normally the reason for using qt-copy instead of a stock Qt, it shouldn't +do any harm to enable it. The default is to enable the patches. + + + +binpath +Can't be overridden +Set this option to set the environment variable PATH while building. +You can't override this setting in a module option. The default value is +/bin:/usr/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/X11R6/bin. This environment +variable should include the colon-separated paths of your development +toolchain. The paths $TDEDIR/bin and +$TQTDIR/bin are automatically added. You +may use the tilde (~) for any paths you add using this option. + + + + +branch +Overrides global +Set this option to checkout from a branch of KDE instead of the +default of "trunk", where KDE development occurs. For instance, to checkout +KDE 3.4 branch, you would set this option to "3.4". +Note that some modules use a different branch name. Notably, the +required arts module doesn't go by KDE version numbers. The arts that +accompanied KDE 3.4 was version 1.4. +If tdesvn-build fails to properly download a branch with this option, you +may have to manually specify the URL to download from using the override-url option. + + + + +build-dir +Overrides global +Use this option to change the directory to contain the built sources. There +are three different ways to use it: + + +Relative to the &kde; &svn; source directory (see the source-dir option). This is the default, and +the way the script worked up to version v0.61. This mode is selected if you +type a directory name that doesn't start with a tilde (~) or a slash (/). +The default value is build. + +Absolute path. If you specify a path that begins with a /, then that path +is used directly. For example, /tmp/kde-obj-dir/. + +Relative to your home directory. If you specify a path that begins with a +~, then the path is used relative to your home directory, analogous to the +shell's tilde-expansion. For example, ~/builddir would set the build +directory to /home/user-name/builddir. + + + +Perhaps surprisingly, this option can be changed per module. + + + + + +checkout-only +Overrides global +Set this option to checkout &svn; sources piece by piece. The value +for this option should be a space separated list of directories to checkout. +If you don't include the admin directory, it will automatically be included (if +necessary). When checking out piece by piece, the admin directory will be +pulled in from kde-common, which is where it exists on the &svn; server. +Although this option overrides the global option, be aware that setting this as +a global option makes no sense. + + + + +configure-flags +Appends to global option(except for qt-copy) +Use this option to specify what flags to pass to ./configure when creating +the build system for the module. When this is used as a global-option, it is +applied to all modules that this script builds. qt-copy uses a much different +set of configure options than the rest of &kde;, so this option +overrides the global settings when applied to qt-copy. + + + +colorful-output +Can't be overridden +Set this option to false to disable the colorful output of &tdesvn-build;. +This option defaults to true. Note that &tdesvn-build; won't output the +color codes to anything but a terminal (such as xterm, &konsole;, or the normal +Linux console). + + + + +cxxflags +Appends to global option +Use this option to specify what flags to pass to ./configure as the +CXXFLAGS when creating the build system for the module. This option is +specified here instead of with configure-flags because this option will also +set the environment variable CXXFLAGS during the build process. + + + + +dest-dir +Overrides global +Use this option to change the name a module is given on disk. For +example, if your module was extragear/network, you could rename it to +extragear-network using this option. + + + + +disable-agent-check +Can't be overridden +Normally if you're using SSH to download the Subversion sources (such as +if you're using the svn+ssh protocol), tdesvn-build will try and make sure that +if you're using ssh-agent, it is actually managing some SSH identities. This is +to try and prevent SSH from asking for your passphrase for every module. You can +disable this check by setting disable-agent-check to true. + + + + +do-not-compile +Overrides global +Use this option to set the DO_NOT_COMPILE environment variable prior to +running the configure script. According to the &kde; +Developer FAQ, this should cause any toplevel directory you pass to not be +built. The directories should be space-separated. + +Note that the sources to the programs will still be downloaded. You can use +the checkout-only +directive to choose directories that you want to check out. + + + + +email-address +Can't be overridden + +Set this option to the e-mail address tdesvn-build should send from should +it ever need to send e-mail. You do not need to worry about this if you don't +use any feature which send e-mail. (They are all disabled by default). + + +Currently only email-on-compile-error +needs this option. + + + + + +email-on-compile-error +Can't be overridden + +You can set this option to the email address to send a report to when a +module fails to build. tdesvn-build will wait until all the modules are done +and collate all of the results in the report. The report is only sent if a +module fails to build. + + +Please see the email-address +option to set the address tdesvn-build should send from, since the default +is usually not what you want. + + + + + +inst-apps +Overrides global +This is the opposite of the do-not-compile option. This option makes it +so that only the given toplevel directories are built. The directories should +be space-separated. + +Any changes don't take effect until the next time +make Makefile.cvs is +run, either automatically by the script, or manually by the or options. + + +Note that the sources to the programs will still be downloaded. You can use +the checkout-only +directive to choose directories that you want to check out. + + + + +install-after-build +Overrides global +This option is used to install the package after it successfully builds. +This option is enabled by default. If you want to disable this, you need to +set this option to 0 in the configuration file. You can also use the + command line flag. + + + + +tdedir +Can't be overridden +This option sets the directory that &kde; will be installed to after it is +built. It defaults to ~/kde. If you change this to a directory +needing root access, you may want to read about the make-install-prefix option as well. + + + +libpath +Can't be overridden +Set this option to set the environment variable LD_LIBRARY_PATH while +building. You can't override this setting in a module option. The default +value is blank, but the paths $TDEDIR/lib and +$TQTDIR/lib are automatically +added. You may use the tilde (~) for any paths you add using this option. + + + + +log-dir +Overrides global +Use this option to change the directory used to hold the log files +generated by the script. This setting can be set on a per-module basis as of +version 0.64 or later. + + + + +make-install-prefix +Overrides global +Set this variable to a space-separated list, which is interpreted as a +command and its options to precede the make install command used to install +modules. This is useful for installing packages with sudo for example, but +please be careful while dealing with root privileges. + + + +make-options +Overrides global +Set this variable in order to pass command line options to the make +command. This is useful for programs such as distcc. +distcc allows you to share your +compilation work among more than one computer. To use it, you must use the + option to make. Now you can. According to the docs, 2 * +number_of_network_cpus is recommended. I have 1 CPU total, so it would be + in my case. + + + +manual-build +Overrides global +Set the option value to true to keep the build process from attempting to +build this module. It will still be kept up-to-date when updating from &svn;. +This option is exactly equivalent to the command line option. + + + + +manual-update +Overrides global +Set the option value to true to keep the build process from attempting to +update (and by extension, build or install) this module. If you set this +option for a module, then you have pretty much commented it out. + + + + +module-base-path +Overrides global +Set this option to override &tdesvn-build;'s default directory path to the +module in question. This can be used, for example, to pull specific branches +or tagged versions of libraries. The &kde; +Source Viewer is invaluable in helping to pick the right path. +Note that &tdesvn-build; constructs the final path according to the +following template: +$svn-server/home/kde/$module-base-path/$module-name. + +The default value is either trunk or +trunk/KDE, depending on the modulename. + + + + +niceness +Can't be overridden +Set this option to a number between 20 and 0. The higher the number, the +lower a priority &tdesvn-build; will set for itself. The default is 10. + + + + +no-rebuild-on-fail +Overrides global +Set this option value to true to always prevent &tdesvn-build; from trying +to rebuild this module if it should fail an incremental build. Normally +&tdesvn-build; will try to rebuild the module from scratch to counteract the +effect of a stray &svn; update messing up the build system. + + + +override-url +Overrides global +If you set this option, tdesvn-build will use its value as the URL +to pass to Subversion completely unchanged. You should +generally use this if you want to download a specific release but tdesvn-build +can't figure out what you mean using branch. + + + + +qtdir +Can't be overridden +Set this option to set the environment variable TQTDIR while building. +You can't override this setting in a module option. If you don't specify +this option, it defaults to +$(source-dir)/build/qt-copy, +which uses the qt-copy module included in the &kde; source repository. +You may use a tilde (~) to represent your home directory. + + + + +remove-after-install +Overrides global +If you are low on hard disk space, you may want to use this option +in order to automatically delete the build directory (or both the source and +build directories for one-time installs) after the module is successfully +installed. + +Possible values for this option are: + +none - Do not delete anything (This is the default). +builddir - Delete the build directory, but not the source. +all - Delete both the source code and build directory. + + + +Note that using this option can have a significant detrimental impact on +both your bandwidth usage (if you use 'all') and the time taken to compile KDE, +since tdesvn-build will be unable to perform incremental builds. + + + + +set-env +Overrides global +This option accepts a space-separated set of values, where the first value +is the environment variable to set, and the rest of the values is what you +want the variable set to. For example, to set the variable RONALD to +McDonald, you would put in the appropriate section this command: +set-env RONALD McDonald +This option is special in that it can be repeated without overriding +earlier set-env settings in the same section of the configuration file. This +way you can set more than one environment variable per module (or +globally). + + + + +source-dir +Can't be overridden +This option is used to set the directory on your computer to store the &kde; +&svn; sources at. If you don't specify this value, the default is +~/tdesvn. If +you do specify this value, use an absolute path name. + + + + +svn-server +Can't be overridden +This option is used to set the server used to check out from &svn;. +The default is the anonymous &svn; repository, svn://anonsvn.kde.org/ + + + +stop-on-failure +Overrides global +Set this option value to true to cause the script to stop execution +after an error occurs during the build or install process. This option is off +by default. + + + + +tag +Overrides global +Use this option to download a specific release of a module. +NOTE: The odds are very good that you DO NOT WANT +to use this option. KDE releases are available in tarball form from The KDE FTP site or one of its mirrors. +If you are using tdesvn-build because you have having trouble getting +a KDE release to build on your distribution, consider using the Konstruct build tool +instead, which works from the release tarballs. + + + + +use-qt-builddir-hack +Overrides global +Although this option overrides the global option, it only makes sense for +qt-copy. Set this option to true to enable the script's +experimental srcdir != builddir mode. When enabled, +&tdesvn-build; will copy the qt-copy source module to the build directory, +and perform builds from there. That means your TQTDIR environment variable +should be set to +$(qt-copy-build-dir)/qt-copy/lib +instead. You should also change your qtdir +option accordingly. Incremental make should still work in this mode, as the +timestamps will be preserved after the copy. If you use the +apply-qt-patches option, the patches +will be applied in the build directory, not the source directory. +This option defaults to true. + + + + +use-unsermake +Overrides global +Set this option to true in order to use the +experimental unsermake program instead of automake when running the configure +script. This can lead to some serious decreases in build time, especially for +distributed building +systems. This option defaults to true (for most modules). + + +Normally if you use this option tdesvn-build will automatically keep +unsermake up-to-date. This may start to get annoying, especially if you are +managing unsermake yourself. If this is the case, you can set this option to +self, and tdesvn-build will still use unsermake, but will not +do anything special to keep it updated. + + + + + + + +
+ + + + +Command Line Options and Environment Variables + + +This script doesn't use environment variables. If you need to set environment +variables for the build or install process, please see the set-env option. + + + +The script accepts the following command-line options: + + + + + + + +only display simple help on this script. + + + + + + +display the program version. + + + + + + +display contact information for the +author. + + + + + + +enable colorful output. + + + + + + +disable colorful output. + + + + + (or ) + +don't actually DO anything, but act like you did. + + + + + (or ) + +Don't be as noisy with the output. With this switch only the basics are +output. + + + + + + +Only output warnings and errors. + + + + + + +Be very descriptive about what's going on, and what tdesvn-build is doing. + + + + + + +only perform the source update. + + + + + + +only perform the build process. + + + + + + +don't include the modules passed on the rest of the command line in the update/build +process. + + + + + + +skip contacting the &svn; server. + + + + + + +skip the build process. + + + + + + +don't automatically install packages after they're built. + + + + + + +enables debug mode for the script. Currently +this means that all output will be dumped to STDOUT in addition to being +logged in the log directory like normal. Also, many functions are much more +verbose about what they're doing in debugging mode. + + + + + + +don't try and +rebuild modules that have failed building from scratch. &tdesvn-build; will +never try to do this to a module that already was tried to be built from +scratch. + + + + + + +recreate the build system and make from scratch. + + + + + + +run the configure script again +without cleaning the build directory. + + + + + + +run make +Makefile.cvs again to create the configure script, and continue +building as normal. This option implies . + + + + + + +which tries to continue building from where +the script stopped last time. The script starts building the module after the +last module to be compiled last time the script was run, whether or not it +succeeded. This option implies . You +should not specify other module names on the command line. + + + + + + +which is like , except that you supply +the module to start building from as the next parameter on the command line. This option +implies . You should not specify +other module names on the command line. + + + + + + +which interprets the next command line +parameter as the file to read the configuration options from. The default +value for this parameter is ~/.tdesvn-buildrc. + + + + + + +which allows you to change the directory that &kde; will be installed to from the command line. +This option implies . + + + + + + +stop after running make Makefile.cvs. The configure +script will still need to be run, which &tdesvn-build; will do next time. This lets you +prepare all the configure scripts at once so you can view the ./configure + for each module, and edit your configure-flags accordingly. + + + + + +If this is the only command-line option, it tries to install all of the modules contained in +successfully-built, except for qt-copy, which doesn't need installation. If command-line +options are specified after , they are all assumed to be modules to install. + + + + + + +You can use this option to override an option in your configuration file for +every module.
