kdepim 'make' errors... index.docbook:8: warning: failed to load external entity "dtd/kdex.dtd"

Did you run:

configure

first? Any special reason why you are compiling?

I made a subdirectory called build and did a `cmake ..` on it.

Trying to add this feature to a newer version of KOrganizer:
"KOrganizer should round to the nearest 5 minutes, (or custom unit) instead of nearest 15 minutes"
https://bugs.kde.org/show_bug.cgi?id=164206

Just tried a
`cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX='/opt/kdepim-4.4-10' ..`
and
`make`
got this message:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/opt/kdepim-4.4.10/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.kde.KSpeech.xml', needed by `kalarm/kspeechinterface.cpp'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [kalarm/CMakeFiles/kalarm_bin.dir/all] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2
then
`make korganizer` <-- less stuff than just `make` , which gives the error message
no error messages
then
`sudo make install korganizer` <-- seams to be the same results as just `sudo make install`
got the same message:
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `/opt/kdepim-4.4.10/share/dbus-1/interfaces/org.kde.KSpeech.xml', needed by `kalarm/kspeechinterface.cpp'. Stop.
make[1]: *** [kalarm/CMakeFiles/kalarm_bin.dir/all] Error 2

[strange, I thought I tried it this way before. ... ]

This PPA has 4.5.96:
https://launchpad.net/~kubsoup/+archive/kontact

If you need 4.4.10 then this has 4.4.11:
https://launchpad.net/~rohangarg/+archive/experimental

Are you chasing exactly 4.4.10?

As far as I know, this change isn't part of the official KOrganizer, so I'll have to compile it.

"Are you chasing exactly 4.4.10?"
Nope, it's just the one that `apt-get source kdepim` gave.
I found
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/kdepim-4.6.0/src/
Does it matter if I match the one the distribution has?
I'm on K/Ubuntu 11.04

Somewhere on the internet I found a webpage that implied replacing "dtd/kdex.dtd" in the 'index.docbook' files with a value returned by `locate kdex.dtd` in my case '/usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/obsolete/kdex.dtd' .
?That seams to have helped with the first problem? ?Maybe not?
Now getting on `make install` ...

If you are compiling from a package obtained from the repositories, using "make" directly may not be a good idea.

You need to use the debian build tools, as the package maintainer will have added patches, and other things as well.

Follow these instructions to rebuild a source package:

Thanks for the link, http://www.moosechips.com/2008/09/ubuntu-rebuild-a-source-package/ , to help rebuild Ubuntu packages, I think I'll start doing it this way, but even so, it still has same problem...

purging 'bleachbit', using 'synaptic' to reinstall anything installed with 'kdelib' in it's name, and tried again... same errors...
also did this afterwards
`sudo updatedb` followed by a
`locate kdex.dtd` gives
/usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/dtd/kdex.dtd
/usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/obsolete/kdex.dtd
and it looks like those files are there.

Could these parser error problems have been caused by 'bleachbit'?

Anyway... I got it to compile now, by

Replacing "dtd/kdex.dtd" in all the 'index.docbook' files with a value returned by `locate kdex.dtd` in my case '/usr/share/apps/ksgmltools2/customization/dtd/kdex.dtd'

Reinstalling kdoctools, kdelib, (etc...?)

[There might be a better, and easier way than this?] For all the 'parser error : Entity not defined' errors, in the file mentioned, (typically an index.docbook in the folder mentioned somewhere before error message, and not so easy to spot) removing the '&' infront the word everytime it's in the file. (I suspect this was for 'language localization', and you can change the text to how you like) Also deleting some of the '&Entity' only lines in doc/kmail/index.docbook, don't know what effect that'll have, could be bad. Since I'm only really interested in using a modified KOrganizer I'm not too worried.

You might want to try `dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b -nc` instead of the mentioned one on the website `dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot -uc -b` for recompile speed, when dealing with the parse errors messages. (?etc...?)

Now on to putting in modifications...

>Could these parser error problems have been caused by 'bleachbit'?
Its possible. If you can reproduce this error in a COW system, then I would say no :)

I don't usually recommend -nc, as sometimes a maintainer stuffs up a debian/rules such that it wont build on a double build w/o clean. I do however recommend ccache (though its only for c/c++, afaik).
