Error while executing make

[notnotrachit]

Commands I executed successfully:

git clone git@github.com:Tatsh/kate-wakatime.git
cd kate-wakatime
mkdir build
cd build
cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr

After that I tried executing make command, but I got an error

I have Kate already installed

[notnotrachit]

Ok, I tried again and seems like I ignored few warnings in cmake command as well

CMake Warning at /usr/share/cmake-3.22/Modules/CMakeFindDependencyMacro.cmake:47 (find_package):
  By not providing "FindKF5SyntaxHighlighting.cmake" in CMAKE_MODULE_PATH
  this project has asked CMake to find a package configuration file provided
  by "KF5SyntaxHighlighting", but CMake did not find one.

  Could not find a package configuration file provided by
  "KF5SyntaxHighlighting" (requested version 5.96.0) with any of the
  following names:

    KF5SyntaxHighlightingConfig.cmake
    kf5syntaxhighlighting-config.cmake

  Add the installation prefix of "KF5SyntaxHighlighting" to CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH
  or set "KF5SyntaxHighlighting_DIR" to a directory containing one of the
  above files.  If "KF5SyntaxHighlighting" provides a separate development
  package or SDK, be sure it has been installed.

CMake Warning at CMakeLists.txt:27 (find_package):
  Found package configuration file:

    /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/cmake/KF5TextEditor/KF5TextEditorConfig.cmake

  but it set KF5TextEditor_FOUND to FALSE so package "KF5TextEditor" is
  considered to be NOT FOUND.  Reason given by package:

  KF5TextEditor could not be found because dependency KF5SyntaxHighlighting
  could not be found.

CMake Warning (dev) at CMakeLists.txt:35 (add_library):
  Policy CMP0028 is not set: Double colon in target name means ALIAS or

  Use the cmake_policy command to set the policy and suppress this warning.

  Target "ktexteditor_wakatime" links to target "KF5::TextEditor" but the
  target was not found.  Perhaps a find_package() call is missing for an
  IMPORTED target, or an ALIAS target is missing?
This warning is for project developers.  Use -Wno-dev to suppress it.

[Tatsh]

So it seems you need KF5SyntaxHighlighting or some kind of package like it to be installed as well. That is a separate package on Gentoo as well (kde-frameworks/syntax-highlighting).

[notnotrachit]

I'm on KDE neon (debian). I tried building it from source and was successful in that. But then I got the same error while building kate-wakatime. Can you help please

[Tatsh]

I think you need libkf5syntaxhighlighting-dev installed. Install that and try building it again.

[notnotrachit]

Still got error

😭

[notnotrachit]

However the file is already present at /usr/include/KF5/KTextEditor/ktexteditor_version.h

[notnotrachit]

ok wait, I think I fixed it

[notnotrachit]

Ya, it works now, but in my dashboard it shows editor, machine, OS as unknown, any way to fix it?

[notnotrachit]

oh nvm, I think its an issue of wakapi.

Thanks a lot
