Install latest umbrello version

Question

How to Install latest umbrello version under Ubuntu 16.04? I have 2.18 (15.12) in Ubuntu 16.04/Mint 18. Build from sources or some PPA available?

I see Launchpad contains only 2.21 (16.12) version but for newer Ubuntu version. However latest version is 2.22 (17.04)

Here http://archive.neon.kde.org/user/pool/main/u/umbrello/ we have the latest but it requires libqt5core5a (>= 5.7.1+dfsg). Any ideas? Build custom deb package: I know how to build src.rpm - how to do the same in Ubuntu?

Thanks!

Answer 1

1. Make build directory, cd into it

2. Download package source codes:

   dget http://archive.neon.kde.org/user/pool/main/u/umbrello/umbrello_17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build22.dsc
   

3. Unpack them:

   dpkg-source -x umbrello_17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build22.dsc
   

4. Cd source directory:

   cd umbrello_17.04.1
   

5. Run (optional: if You want to change package changelog) and edit changelog:

   dch -i
   

6. Build the package:

   dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
   

   of if in case of any error:

   sudo dpkg-buildpackage
   

Note. For successful build change string usr/share/metainfo to usr/share/appdata in umbrello_17.04.1/debian/umbrello.install file.

7. In case of error install missed dependencies, in my case it was:

   sudo apt-get install kdoctools-dev kinit-dev kio-dev libboost-dev \
   libkf5archive-dev libkf5auth-dev libkf5completion-dev libkf5config-dev \
   libkf5coreaddons-dev libkf5guiaddons-dev libkf5i18n-dev libkf5iconthemes-dev \
   libkf5parts-dev libkf5service-dev libkf5texteditor-dev \
   libkf5widgetsaddons-dev libkf5windowsystem-dev libkf5xmlgui-dev \
   libqt5svg5-dev libqt5webkit5-dev libxml2-dev libxslt1-dev pkg-kde-tools qtbase5-dev
   

8. Build the package again:

   dpkg-buildpackage -rfakeroot
   

9. Install result package from build directory:

   sudo dpkg -i umbrello_17.04.1-0neon+16.04+build22_amd64.deb
