How to install kate5 - kate

I tried to install the latest version of kde editor kate, but nothing changed.
I took the source code: git clone git://anongit.kde.org/kate;
I followed http://kate-editor.org/get-it/'s instructions;
Now, when I run ~/kde/usr/bin/kate-v is the same version that was:
$ ~/kde/usr/bin/kate -v
Qt: 4.8.6
Plataforma de desenvolvimento KDE: 4.14.1
Kate: 3.14.1
How I do to install the lastest version?
Grateful

First of all: the version in the About dialog is built from the KDE version, so it does not all reflect whether you are running a self-compiled one or not. Second, you should run Kate with all environment variables properly set - just running the executable will probably load the wrong ktexteditor.so library.
The easiest way to get Kate5 is to install a distribution that ships Kate5 (probably along with Plasma 5).
If you already have a KDE Frameworks 5 (KF5) environment available, then you can also build Kate5 from sources by following the build instructions. These were updated in June 2015.
If you are still on KDE 4.x and you have no KDE Frameworks 5 packages installed, then you also need to build KDE Frameworks 5 from sources. In this case, you have to follow the KF5 build instructions. If you've questions, feel free to ask on kde-frameworks-devel#kde.org and/or on the Kate mailing list.

adding Doxygen plugin to qtcreator in linux

I want to add Doxygen plugin to QtCreator.
I am using QtCreator 2.5.2 in ubuntu 12.10 and the latest Doxygen version for QT is 2.4.0.
I've changed the doxygen.pluginspec file to get rid of version error.
But now I've got another error:
can not load library libdoxygen.so (libQtconcurrent.so can not open shared object file:No such file or directory)
Any suggestion would be appreciated.
I hope you are no longer stuck, but if not, I will still try to help.
Yes, the quick install binaries are available only for QtCreator 2.4, but the plugin stays easy to install without it : you have to download the sources and build them yourself, as written in the wiki.
Moreover, you have to build it with the same version of Qt4 as the one that was used for build your QtCreator (have a look here)
It became compatible with QtCreator 2.7 and Qt5 at the end of March, and I succeeded in installing in in QtCreator2.8-beta.
If you have any other question, I guess it would be better to ask them in the plugin forum where developpers always answer to people in need.
Hope this helps (you and other people in need).
You can install Doxywizard wich provides an user interface to use Doxygen.
I'm not shure I'm using fedora to install I used.
yum install doxygen-doxywizard.x86_64.
For Ubuntu it should be if the package name is the same.
apt-get install doxygen-doxywizard.x86_64

Installing Qt on Linux (Debian distribution)

I have Qt 4.6.3 on Debian. I need version 4.8.1.
To install it I downloaded the Qt SDK 1.2.1 from the Qt site, where is said that it contains version 4.8.1
After installation I checked Qt version and it is 4.6.3 instead of expected 4.8.1.
What I am doing wrong? And how can I install 4.8.1?
First of all I recommend getting 'official' Debian Qt upgrades by adding the testing (wheezy) repo to your package manager, this way everything on your system will be updated seamlessly in a few clicks.
If you can't do this, then:
Use your package manager to uninstall the existing Qt installation (so that's the runtime libs, plugins, and Qt Creator).
Install the SDK anywhere you like, it installs under one folder anyway.
Update your $PATH to point to the directory with qtcreator, qmake, etc., there are numerous ways of doing this, the simplest is exporting the updated $PATH in your .bashrc. (And optionally make some nice shortcuts for your DE).
Create symlinks in /usr/lib (or /usr/lib64) to point to the Qt libraries the SDK provides, or add a qt.conf file containing the path in your /etc/ld.conf.so.d/ directory and run ldconfig as root.
I'm an openSUSE user myself, so some of the above may slightly different on Debian, hopefully someone with Debian experience can chime in if I'm incorrect.

Is it possible to build pyQt with latest Qt (4.8) on latest OSX (10.7)

I have a software that depends on pyQt (it's TortoiseHG and it doesn't support pyside). Is it possible to build pyQt on latest OSX version with latest Qt? I have downloaded pyQt from official website (http://www.riverbankcomputing.co.uk) but it fails on first, configuration step with "i386 architecture" link error.
MacPorts has numerous PyQT builds (including version 4.9.1 at time of writing) so it appears to be possible.
If just getting it via MacPorts (recommended) isn't an option, you can examine their portfile to see how they're configuring and building it, and then do the same locally.

Node JS ./configure + make fails unable to remap python lib-dynload/itertools.dll to same address as parent

This might be more of a CYGWIN question than a Nodejs but here goes.
I installed Cygwin yesterday and on the packages selection I just clicked next as it looked like most were pre-selected, and then today read this guide http://boxysystems.com/index.php/step-by-step-instructions-to-install-nodejs-on-windows/ on installing nodejs.
The ./configure had an error that it was unable to remap python lib-dynload/itertools.dll to same address as parent. As the process still completed I tried the make command, but it fails on the same error.
So, I opened cygwin setup.exe and this time I clicked the source checkbox for all the Python packages. But still get the same error. Should I now go to Cygwin and check all the source packages for the Make packages, delete it and reinstall from scratch using the above guide. Or something else?
Any help gratefull received/
Use the official 0.5.x windows build from http://nodejs.org/#download - you just have to download a .exe file and you can start it.
Versions 0.5.X have problems with Cygwin and because of developing clean Windows version Cygwin environment is now unsupported. Stable version 0.4.12 builds on Cygwin with no problems. If you want to use node.js unstable 0.5.X branch on Windows use windows build at official node.js site.
check this out:
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/Building-node.js-on-Cygwin-(Windows)
Update Sept 1, 2011 -- as of today, v0.5.5 does not build on Cygwin (errors on make). Use v.0.5.4 (ie. follow instructions below and use "git checkout v0.5.4".
https://github.com/joyent/node/wiki/API-changes-between-v0.4-and-v0.6
Cygwin build is no longer supported. Use native windows builds instead.

How can I help port Google Chrome to Linux?

I really enjoy Chrome, and the sheer exercise of helping a port would boost my knowledge-base.
Where do I start?
What are the fundamental similarities and differences between the code which will operated under Windows and Linux?
What skills and software do I need?
Note:
The official website is Visual Studio oriented!
Netbeans or Eclipse are my only options.
I will not pay Microsoft to help an Open Source project.
EDIT: (2/6/10)
A Beta version of Chrome has been released for Linux. Although it is labeled beta, it works great on my Ubuntu box. You can download it from Google:
http://www.google.com/chrome?platform=linux
EDIT: (5/31/09)
Since I answered this question, there have been more new developments in Chrome (actually "Chromium") for Linux: An alpha build has been released. This means it's not fully functional.
If you use Ubuntu, you're in luck: add the following lines to your /etc/apt/sources.list
deb http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
deb-src http://ppa.launchpad.net/chromium-daily/ppa/ubuntu jaunty main
Then, at the command line:
aptitude update
aptitude install chromium-browser
Don't forget to s/jaunty/yourUbuntuVersion/ if necessary. Also, you can s/aptitude/apt-get/, if you insist.
And.... Yes, it works. I'm typing this in my freshly installed Chromium browser right now!
The build is hosted by launchpad, and gave me some security warnings upon install, which I promptly ignored. Here's the website: https://launchpad.net/~chromium-daily/+archive/ppa
The original answer:
Linux Build Instructions
Read this article on Chrome and Open Source on Linux:
http://arstechnica.com/journals/linux.ars/2008/09/02/google-unveils-chrome-source-code-and-linux-port
The Google V8 JavaScript Engine is also open source and available here if you want to contribute;
http://code.google.com/p/v8/
If you want to contribute on Chronium, here are the instructions:
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/contributing-code
Chromium is an open-source browser
project that aims to build a safer,
faster, and more stable way for all
Internet users to experience the web.
This site contains design documents,
architecture overviews, testing
information, and more to help you
learn to build and work with the
Chromium source code.
Here is how you can get started:
http://dev.chromium.org/developers/how-tos/getting-started
EDIT: Two more questions was added to the original question.
Building on Linux requires the following software:
Subversion >= 1.4
pkg-config >= 0.20
Python >= 2.4
Perl >= 5.x
gcc/g++ >= 4.2
bison >= 2.3
flex >= 2.5.34
gperf >= 3.0.3
libnss3-dev >= 3.12
On Ubuntu 8.04, you can fetch all of the above as follows:
$ sudo apt-get install subversion pkg-config python perl g++ bison flex gperf libnss3-dev
Note: There is no working
Chromium-based browser on Linux.
Although many Chromium submodules
build under Linux and a few unit tests
pass, all that runs is a command-line
"all tests pass" executable.
