You can also have a successful build, then update your linux installation, and then find that Krita no longer builds. You might need to update your Linux installation to a newer version. CMake will report when the version of a dependency is too old. A missing dependency is not an “error” that you need to report to the other Krita developers.Ī dependency can also be too old. The most common problem is a missing dependency.
Outside of the source being unstable, there’s the following common problems: :~/kritadev/krita> git checkout master :~/kritadev/krita> git pull Common problems ¶ Note: type in what’s shown after ‘>’ in the following commands We will call the “kritadev” folder your build root. $HOME/kritadev/install – the location where you install krita to and run krita from $HOME/kritadev/build – the location where you compile krita The most convenient layout is as follows: Building on Linux ¶ Preparing your development environment ¶ Building Krita is a technical task and demands accuracy in following instructions and intelligence in understanding what happens. On all operating systems, you need to be familiar with using a terminal. On Windows you can either reuse the dependencies from the KDE Binary Factory, or build the dependencies yourself. Building the dependencies manually is recommended because we have a number of changes to the source for libraries to make them function better with Krita. On macOS you can use tools like homebrew to get the dependencies, or build the dependencies manually. For an easy guide to building Krita see Building Krita on Linux for Cats. Linux is the easiest operating system to build Krita on because all the libraries that Krita needs are available on most recent Linux distributions. The libraries Krita needs (for instance to load and save various image types) are called dependencies. You can build Krita on Linux, Windows, macOS and on Linux for Android. Using prebuilt dependencies from the binary factory If you merely want to run the latest version of Krita, to test a bug or play with, you can use the nightly build for Windows the nightly build for Linux, or the nightly build for macOS. If you want to help developing Krita, you need to know how to build Krita yourself.
