Installation of Kdelibs

Install Kdelibs by running the following commands: 

mkdir build &&
cd build

Prepare the package for compilation: 

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDE4_PREFIX \
      -DCMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=$KDE4_PREFIX \
      -DKDE_DEFAULT_HOME=.kde4 \
      -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc/kde4 \
      -DDOCBOOKXML_CURRENTDTD_DIR=/usr/share/xml/docbook/xml-dtd-4.5 \
      .. &&
make

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

-DKDE_DEFAULT_HOME=.kde4: This option is set to avoid clashes with a KDE3 installation on the same machine.

-DPYTHON_SITE_PACKAGES_DIR:PATH=<site-packages>: If you do not install KDE in /usr, set this option in order to have the KDE4 Python objects installed correctly. You can use following code to determine tha directory name: 

_pylibdir=$(python-config --prefix)/lib &&
_pyversion=$(python -V 2>&1 | awk '{print $2}') &&
echo "$_pylibdir/python${_pyversion%.*}/site-packages"
