    Compiling Akunambol

    After this guide, you should have a perfectly working akunambol installed in your system.

    Prerequisites

    In order to install Akunambol, you should first make sure to have installed all the dependencies required to build any KDE application.

    This includes (but is not limited to) kdelibs, kdepimlibs, boost, oxygen-icons and akonadi.

    In case your distro packages the headers separately, remember to install the development packages too.

    Building libfunambol

    Libfunambol is a dependency of Akunambol that implements the SyncML protocol, allowing Akonadi to perform the sync.

    This is what you need to do to build libfunambol, after you have downloaded and uncompressed it:

      cd build/autotools
      ./configure
      make
      make install

    There is more documentation available in the libfunambol package itself, in case you might need it.

    Building Akunambol

    Once libfunambol is installed, to compile akunambol you should proceed like any you would do with any normal KDE application.

      mkdir build
      cd build/
      cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix) ..
      make
      make install

    The final touches

    To update the KDE cache, so that it knows about the new application installed, open a terminal and run

      kbuildsycoca4

    This should be it!

    Have fun with Akunambol!
