Couldn't find Umbrello 2.23.0 because there was only a link to "latest" on the Umbrello website (which is 2.22.90). So I extracted the sources, created the "build" folder ran the cmake command as listed in the "INSTALL" file from the build directory: ```cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/umbrello -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Debug ../``` The error message was: ```CMake Error at CMakeLists.txt:172 (ki18n_wrap_ui): Unknown CMake command "ki18n_wrap_ui".``` Not sure what to do here since I don't usually compile anything with CMake. The version of Umbrello in the Ubuntu packages is several years old, so I would like to use the latest version because a lot of the bugs I am seeing have apparently been fixed in the meantime.

See https://umbrello.kde.org/installation.php#install-source-code-linux for further details. Also it is required to see all messages cmake displays on running because it may indicates what's going wrong.

The missing macro is located in the ki18n development package which is part of kf5 (see https://cgit.kde.org/ki18n.git/tree/cmake/KF5I18NMacros.cmake). This indicates that you have no development packages of kf5 libraries installed. See https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Build_from_source/Install_the_dependencies for more information about the required dependencies.

Ralf, thank you for your patience, but the issue seems to be more than that. I have kf5-dev packages already installed on my system. These are: libkf5i18n-data libkf5i18n-dev libkf5i18n5 libkf5i18n5-dbg Also, I have qtbase5-dev installed. Still, cmake cannot kind the macro "ki18n_wrap_ui" anywhere. Is it possible that Ubuntu is putting this somewhere where cmake cannot find it? I have Qt installed in a directory under my home directory, not in /usr or /usr/local ... I did find many Qt header files which make use of that macro.

I tried that too, but got this when I tried to download the sources: ~~~~~~~~ bob@my-laptop:~/Downloads/build$ dget http://archive.neon.kde.org/user/pool/main/u/umbrello/umbrello_17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build22.dsc dget: retrieving http://archive.neon.kde.org/user/pool/main/u/umbrello/umbrello_17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build22.dsc % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 1770 100 1770 0 0 6897 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 6914 dget: retrieving http://archive.neon.kde.org/user/pool/main/u/umbrello/umbrello_17.04.1.orig.tar.xz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 1608k 100 1608k 0 0 4443k 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 4443k dget: retrieving http://archive.neon.kde.org/user/pool/main/u/umbrello/umbrello_17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build22.debian.tar.xz % Total % Received % Xferd Average Speed Time Time Time Current Dload Upload Total Spent Left Speed 100 9300 100 9300 0 0 127k 0 --:--:-- --:--:-- --:--:-- 127k umbrello_17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build22.dsc: dscverify: umbrello_17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build22.dsc failed signature check: gpg: no valid OpenPGP data found. gpg: processing message failed: Unknown system error Validation FAILED!!
OK, after finding a Debian .deb package of umbrello with the latest version, I saw that I have all of the dependencies installed, but the versions are not new enough. I will probably not be able to upgrade because it would break other things on my system. Maybe I need to upgrade Ubuntu to 17.04, but I have 16.04 LTS which has longer support. I am very confused about the way KDE programs are built and installed because it is so different from Ubuntu/Debian packaging. Most things I build from source use autotools, which I find much easier to follow if some dependency isn't installed. I remember the trouble I had trying to get kdenlive to work. It isn't much fun!
Dear Bug Submitter, This bug has been in NEEDSINFO status with no change for at least 15 days. Please provide the requested information as soon as possible and set the bug status as REPORTED. Due to regular bug tracker maintenance, if the bug is still in NEEDSINFO status with no change in 30 days, the bug will be closed as RESOLVED > WORKSFORME due to lack of needed information. For more information about our bug triaging procedures please read the wiki located here: https://community.kde.org/Guidelines_and_HOWTOs/Bug_triaging If you have already provided the requested information, please set the bug status as REPORTED so that the KDE team knows that the bug is ready to be confirmed. Thank you for helping us make KDE software even better for everyone!
In the meantime, I have upgraded my system to Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS and have not yet tried to install or build Umbrello on my system. So perhaps this should be closed now?
There is a snap package for umbrello at https://snapcraft.io/umbrello, which provides distribution independent installation.
