1 How To Build This Template

7 cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull .. <- do not forget the ..
9 make install or su -c 'make install'
11 where $KDEDIR needs to be set to your KDE installation prefix.
13 to uninstall the project:
14 make uninstall or su -c 'make uninstall'
16 Note: you can use another build path. Then cd in your build dir and:
17 export KDE_SRC=path_to_your_src
18 cmake $KDE_SRC -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDEDIR -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull
24 The code generated by this template can be compiled without any further
25 changes, so you can start with your own code right away.
27 However, there are a couple of things you will need to change outside the
28 resource's code, i.e. in the resource's .desktop file:
30 - Name field: the name of the resource with which it will be displayed in
31 system settings and applications which can add resources on their own.
32 E.g. MyBackend Resource
34 - Comment field: short description of the resource, also used to be
35 displayed, e.g. For calendars and contacts stored in MyBackend
37 - Icon field: if you are not writing a contact (addressbook) resource, you have
38 to change this to either an icon for the respective MIME type you are going
39 to provide or use a resource specific icon which you provide yourself
41 - X-Akonadi-MimeTypes field: if you are not writing a contact (addressbook)
42 resource, you have to change this to either a known MIME type or one you
43 install together with the resource.
44 If your resource can provide data of more than one MIME type, you can
45 specific all possible ones as a comma separate list.
47 Common MIME types are:
48 * text/directory: for contact data
49 * text/calendar: for calendar data (there are Akonadi defined subtypes
50 available, e.g. application/x-vnd.akonadi.calendar.event)
51 * message/rfc822: for e-mails and usenet news
53 The template comes with an input file for KDE's KConfigXT framework
54 for improved configuration file handling. The generated class is called
55 "Settings", so access to its data is provided through its singleton
56 instance method Settings::self().
