[Kstars-devel] Porting KStars to KF5

[Samikshan Bairagya]

Hi,

I checked out the frameworks branch and tried building KStars. However,
I can't figure out what all packages I need to install in order to get
rid of the
following cmake error:

sbairagy at dhcp193-120 ~/k/b/kstars-build [1]> cmake
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=../../usr/ -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug
../../src/kstars/
CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:27 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindKF5.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH this project has
  asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided by "KF5", but
  CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by "KF5" with any of
  the following names:

    KF5Config.cmake
    kf5-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "KF5" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH or set "KF5_DIR"
  to a directory containing one of the above files.  If "KF5" provides a
  separate development package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

----

I understand I need to install packages related to KF5. I use Fedora 20 and I
followed these links [1] [2]. Trying to install kf-* packages from [2] leads to
problems wrt kf5-kactivities-runtime package which conflicts with kactivities
package which I can't get over.
