Alexander Dymo's Homebrew

Homebrew tap to build KDE apps on Mac OS. Based on https://github.com/somekool/homebrew but actually works. Note, this is not a full KDE distribution. It contains only KDE apps that this project's maintainers actually use.

Available apps: KDevelop, Kate, Calligra, Konversation

Installation

Prepare your environment:

  • Append these codes to your ~/.bash_profile or ~/.profile:
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIRS:$HOME/Library/Preferences/KDE:/usr/local/kde4
export PATH=/usr/local/kde4/bin:$PATH
export DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH=/usr/local/kde4/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
launchctl setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/kde4/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH
export XDG_DATA_HOME=$HOME/Library/Preferences/KDE/share
export XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/local/kde4/share:/usr/local/share:/usr/share
  • If you were using this tap before Feb 17, 2014, kde stuff were installed to /usr/local and you cannot uninstall them. Which means your /usr/local is already messed up. Please backup everything important, sudo rm -rf /usr/local/*, reinstall homebrew and all your formulas, and anything else you put under /usr/local.
  • Now kde stuff are installed to /usr/local/kde4, you still cannot uninstall single kde formula, but you can safely nuke that directory and reinstall kde formulas you want to keep.
  • We're working on a solution to make kde formulas install to their own kegs.

Tap my KDE repository:

brew tap adymo/kde

Compile Qt with D-Bus and Qt3 support if you haven't done that before.

brew uninstall qt
brew install qt --with-d-bus --with-qt3support

Install KDE applications

brew install kate
brew install kdevelop
brew install kdevelop-ruby
brew install ...

Launch D-Bus

mkdir -p ~/Library/LaunchAgents
ln -s /usr/local/opt/d-bus/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist ~/Library/LaunchAgents/
launchctl load -w ~/Library/LaunchAgents/org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

Update system configuration:

  • relogin or restart your system
kbuildsycoca4 --noincremental
update-mime-database /usr/local/share/mime
update-mime-database /usr/local/kde4/share/mime

Create application links (so that Finder and Launchpad see KDE apps):

brew linkapps

Run KDE apps from Launchpad or from command line:

open /Applications/kdevelop.app

Troubleshooting

  • if kbuildsycoca4 never finishes, then stop dbus, remove its lock file (run env | grep DBUS to find out where it is) and start dbus again
  • if dbus fails to start, check whether you have /usr/local/etc/dbus-1/session.d directory
  • sometimes after App Store run upgrades, DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH will be reset, then some plugins will fail to load, run launchctl setenv DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH /usr/local/kde4/lib:$DYLD_LIBRARY_PATH in terminal to fix
