    compile and install tarball for lemonpos - please help!

    For several days I've been struggling with the installation of lemonpos. I'm trying to install the latest version from a tarball and don't have enough experience to figure out what I'm doing wrong. Seems like I run into problems at every turn:

    root@Firefly:/usr# cd trunk
    root@Firefly:/usr/trunk# mkdir build
    root@Firefly:/usr/trunk# cd build
    root@Firefly:/usr/trunk/build# cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr/bin ..

    I am clearly making some errors here, but I don't really understand the full meaning of the error messages or how to satisfy them. Can someone please help me figure this out? It occurred to me that if someone who is experienced with this sort of install would be willing to try the install on their own machine, the information could then be relayed to me and save a lot more hours of frustration. I've been trying to read, learn and fumble through this but it it feels like I'm stuck.

    don't have enough experience to figure out what I'm doing wrong.
    And THAT is a recipe for disaster, and it looks like you are well on your way to getting there.

    Your lack of experience in these matters is the #1 reason why you should restrict yourself to installing applications ONLY from the repository.

    Lemonpos (a Linux Point of Sale program) IS in the repository and just a few clicks away from installing, or by using apt-get:

    sudo apt-get install lemonpos

    It also suggests that you have MySQL 5.0 installed and the MySQL 5.0 client, too.

      Gee thanks for the encouragement, and help. I suppose the really knowledgeable users were born with their information already installed...

      The fact is that the repository version is not the latest version and many bug fixes have been made, as well as other improvements. The developer recommends installing the latest version.

      Okay, now I'm ready for some kind soul who can offer some real help instead of "your not in the club".

      And yes, I have installed mysql and the other required apps.

        Looking at your code, part of the problem might be that you are trying to install as root.
        X and kde are disabled for the root account, and that's why you're getting the kde-config not found stuff.
        You might try logging in with your user account (that has admin privileges) and run cmake as "sudo cmake". That way the compiler should be able to find your .kde directory and its contents.
        If you still have problems after that, you might want to contact the developer, as they are the most familiar with the code.

        P.S. If you have logged in as root and done things in your home directory, you might need to go through your home directory and make sure file ownerships have not been changed to root. That can cause problems all around.

          Thank you. That certainly made a difference, and I learned something too. It still isn't working correctly, though it looks as if progress was made. Seems like I'm missing a file:

          spyder79@Firefly:/usr/trunk/build$ sudo cmake -Wno-dev -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/opt/kde4 .. #/usr/lib/kde4
          [sudo] password for spyder79:

            unfortunately, I probably won't be much help, but have you installed the 'build-essentials' package?

                ok...another stupid question...I'm not at my laptop right now, so I can't check...is there a usr/lib/kde4 folder? it appears that it is not finding a required file to make cmake work...you might even try to reinstall cmake...

                  Another suggestion:
                  If you worked in your home directory while logged in a root, it may have changed some of the file permissions in your .kde directory.

                  sudo chown -R yourname:yourname ~/.kde

                  where yourname is your user name.

                    Hi!

                    I have written a small howto for kubuntu users, using kubuntu 8.10 on a virtual machine.
