Kate linter plugin (September 28, 2009)

Just a quicky: I wrote a little plugin for KTextEditor which supplies you with basic error checking when you save documents. Currently only PHP (via php -l) and JavaScript (via JavaScript Lint) are supported.

Requirements

  • usual tools for compiling C++, e.g. gcc.
  • cmake
  • Qt development packages, i.e. under Ubuntu: sudo aptitude install libqt4-dev
  • KDE 4.2 with development packages for kdelibs and kdebase, i.e. under Ubuntu: sudo aptitude install kdebase-dev kdebase-workspace-dev kdelibs5-dev. Note: You’ll need the experimental KDE 4.2 packages activated as of now, see for example the Kubuntu news on KDE 4.2 RC1 for hints.
  • proper setup of environment variables, read this techbase article for more information. the .bashrc linked there should be enough for most people
  • For PHP support: a PHP executable which supports the -l switch for linting
  • For JavaScript support: a JavaScript Lint executable, you could download and compile the sources for example.
