The list of required packages and software tobuild KDE trunk (4.4) is listed on http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 which is a wiki thus you can modify it to make it up-to-date. Built issues are not to be reported here anyway, please send a mail to the kde-devel mailing list https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-devel with the cmake output so we can see what the error really is. Thanks in advance! Dear Anne-Marie, Thanks for that. Normal service desk arrangements ask the person who reported the problem whether it is resolved not just give a reply (which is incorrect as it happens) and then mark it as resolved. I have already read that document and even have a printed copy just in case I had missed something on the screen. The dependencies page that is there only includes a minute fraction of what is required to build KDE. KDE3 and previous versions used to provide such a list as does most other software. However, it now seems that KDE4 does not. It would be almost impossible for someone other than a KDE developer to build such a list so there is no good making it a wiki and hoping that someone will come along and create it. It is interesting that there is a great deal of detail about creating accounts in various ways but no basic information about building the system. I would have thought most people attempting to build KDE would be perfectly capable of creating an account. I am sure you are right about reporting syntax errors in KDE (of which I am sure there are plenty). However, I was not reporting a syntax error rather I was reporting a documentation error so the devel list would not be the right place. Indeed I have found a syntax error in kdebase-4.3.1 which doesn't even compile almost certainly because some package somewhere is not the right version. However, in the absence of a list of required software with minimum version numbers it is virtually impossible for me to continue. In other words KDE is now a closed source product in all but name. Best wishes....
