KDESVN-BUILD(1)	      User Contributed Perl Documentation      KDESVN-BUILD(1)

NAME
       kdesvn-build - automate the kde svn build process

SYNOPSIS
       kdesvn-build [options]... [modules]...

DESCRIPTION
       The kdesvn-build script is used to automate the download, build, and
       install process for KDE (using Subversion).

       It is recommended that you first setup a .kdesvn-buildrc file in your
       home directory. Please refer to kdesvn-build help file in KDE help for
       information on how to write .kdesvn-buildrc, or consult the sample file
       which should have been included with this program.  If you don't setup
       a .kdesvn-buildrc, a default set of options will be used, and a few
       modules will be built by default.

       After setting up .kdesvn-buildrc, you can run this program from either
       the command-line or from cron. It will automatically download the
       modules from Subversion, create the build system, and configure and
       make the modules you tell it to.	 You can use this program to install
       KDE as well, if you are building KDE for a single user. Note that
       kdesvn-build will try to install the modules by default.

       If you DO specify a package name, then your settings will still be
       read, but the script will try to build / install the package regardless
       of .kdesvn-buildrc

       kdesvn-build reads options in the following order:

       1. From the command line.
       2. From the file kdesvn-buildrc in the current directory.  Note that
       the file is not a hidden file.
       3. From the file ~/.kdesvn-buildrc.
       4. From a set of internal options.

       This utility is part of the KDE Software Development Kit.

OPTIONS
       --quiet,	 -q
	   With this switch kdesvn-build will only output a general overview
	   of the build process.  Progress output is still displayed if
	   available.

       --really-quiet
	   With this switch only warnings and errors will be output.

       --verbose,  -v
	   Be very detailed in what is going on, and what actions kdesvn-build
	   is taking.  Only --debug is more detailed.

       --no-svn
	   Skip contacting the Subversion server.

       --no-build
	   Skip the build process.

       --no-install
	   Don't automatically install after build.

       --svn-only
	   Update from Subversion only (Identical to --no-build at this
	   point).

       --build-only
	   Build only, do not perform updates or install.

       --rc-file=<filename>
	   Read configuration from filename instead of default.

       --debug
	   Activates debug mode.

       --pretend,  -p
	   Do not contact the Subversion server, run make, or create / delete
	   files and directories. Instead, output what the script would have
	   done.

       --nice=<value>
	   Allow you to run the script with a lower priority. The default
	   value is 10 (lower priority by 10 steps).

       --prefix=/kde/path
	   This option is a shortcut to change the setting for kdedir from the
	   command line. It implies --reconfigure.

       --color
	   Add color to the output.

       --no-color
	   Remove color from the output.

       --resume
	   Tries to resume the make process from the last time the script was
	   run, without performing the Subversion update.

       --resume-from=<pkg>
	   Starts building from the given package, without performing the
	   Subversion update.

       --revision=<rev>, -r=<rev>
	   Forces update to revision <rev> from Subversion.

       --refresh-build
	   Start the build from scratch.  This means that the build directory
	   for the module will be deleted before make -f Makefile.cvs is run
	   again.  You can use --recreate-configure to do the same thing
	   without deleting the module build directory.

       --reconfigure
	   Run configure again, but don't clean the build directory or re-run
	   make -f Makefile.cvs.

       --recreate-configure
	   Run make -f Makefile.cvs again to redo the configure script.	 The
	   build directory is not deleted.

       --no-rebuild-on-fail
	   Do not try to rebuild a module from scratch if it failed building.
	   Normally kdesvn-build will try progressively harder to build the
	   module before giving up.

       --build-system-only
	   Create the build infrastructure, but don't actually perform the
	   build.

       --install
	   Try to install the packages passed on the command line, or all
	   packages in ~/.kdesvn-buildrc that don't have manual-build set.
	   Building and Subversion updates are not performed.

       --<option>=
	   Any unrecognized options are added to the global configuration,
	   overriding any value that may exist.

	   For example, --svn-server=http://path.to.svn.server/ would change
	   the setting of the global svn-server option for this instance of
	   kdesvn-build.

       --<module>,<option>=
	   Likewise, allow you to override any module specific option from the
	   command line.

	   Example: --kdelibs,use-unsermake=false would disable unsermake for
	   the kdelibs module.

       --help
	   Display the help and exit.

       --author
	   Output the author(s)'s name.

       --version
	   Output the program version.

EXAMPLES
       kdesvn-build
       kdesvn-build --no-svn kdelibs
       kdesvn-bulid --refresh-build kdebase

BUGS
       Since kdesvn-build doesn't generally save information related to the
       build and prior settings, you may need to manually re-run kdesvn-build
       with a flag like --recreate-configure if you change some options,
       including use-unsermake.

       Please use KDE bugzilla at http://bugs.kde.org for information and
       reporting bugs.

SEE ALSO
       You can find additional information at kdesvn-build home page,
       http://kdesvn-build.kde.org/, or using kdesvn-build docbook
       documentation, using the help kioslave, help:/kdesvn-build.
