Using the tdesvn-build script

Now you are ready to run the script. From a terminal window, log in to the user you are using to compile KDE and execute the script:

%su - devel-username
%tdesvn-build

Now, the script should start downloading the sources and compiling them. It is unlikely that you will succeed in the first time you compile KDE. Do not despair! Check the log files to see if you are missing some tools or development packages (the location of the log files is set by the log-dir variable in the configuration file). Sometimes, the main development branch get very unstable and hard to build, especially when a development freeze is close. Be patient. You can find more common examples of things that can go wrong and their solutions, as well as general tips and strategies to build KDE in the Building KDE from Source Step by Step Guide.
