Introduction to Polkit-Qt

Polkit-Qt provides an API to PolicyKit in the Qt environment. Its libraries are used by both KDE4 and KF5, but they must be linked to Qt-4.8.7 and Qt-5.5.1 respectively. The two versions do not conflict with each other.

This package is known to build and work properly using an LFS-7.9 platform.

Command Explanations

-DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=Release: This switch is used to apply higher level of the compiler optimizations.

-DCMAKE_INSTALL_LIBDIR=lib: This switch is used to get libraries to install to $KDE_PREFIX/lib instead of $KDE_PREFIX/lib64 on a 64 bit system.

-DUSE_QT4=TRUE: This switch is used to ensure that Qt4 version of the library is built even if Qt5 is present.
