I want to install kate for kde 4.14.n on Debian Wheezy which is currently at KDE 4.8.4.
I want both kates installed until I can confirm that the newer version works fine for me. I have found instructions at http://kate-editor.org/2010/04/17/quick- compiling-kate-in-a-stable-kde-environment/ (Quick Compiling Kate in a stable KDE Environment) which include the following: <quote> Since all of the Kate code is now co-hosted on gitorious, it became very easy to build Kate in your stable KDE >= 4.4 environment. This means you can run the newest version of Kate with very few effort. Just give it a try and do the following steps: 1. make sure you have the following packages installed: git, cmake and kdelibs development package (on openSUSE this is git, cmake and libkde4-devel) 2. create and change into a KDE development directory: mkdir ~/kde; cd ~/kde 3. get a copy of the Kate code: git clone git://gitorious.org/kate/kate.git 4. create and change into a build directory for compilation: mkdir build; cd build 5. run the configure process with cmake: cmake ../kate -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull \ -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=~/kde/usr 6. compile Kate: make 7. finally install Kate: make install That’s all! This installs Kate locally into the separate directory ~/kde/usr, so that your global KDE installation will not be touched at all. </quote> I have two questions about the kdelibs development package: 1. Must I find and install a kdelibs development package specifically for kde 4.14.n, or is there one (the one I'd install by default in Wheezy) that is good for 4.8.4 and 4.14.n? (And, if the former, how and where should I install it--I mean, presumably I don't want to install it with the normal Wheezy KDE 4.8.4 stuff...) 2. What is the name of the kdelibs development package for Debian (Wheezy or later)? In apper, I see kdelibs5-dev at version 4:4.8.4-4+deb7u1--is that what I need to install? Thank you! Randy Kramer
