Have either of you succeeded in building baloo on Apple OS X yet?
I have been struggling with it for the best part of a week.  It keeps
failing because it cannot find malloc_trim() on Apple OS X.  It is a
GNU extension they say.  See https://git.reviewboard.kde.org/r/117187/ =85

I adapted the patch given in that review to the KDE/4.13 branch and
eventually got baloo and baloo-widgets to build.  The adaptation was a
bit tricky because the code for baloo is changing all the time and the patch
was for the master branch code, which is quite different.

Re building without baloo, I cannot see ANYWHERE in the CMake files
where that option can be taken.  FWIW I cannot see how baloo gets built
AT ALL.  The source code is in subdirectories of kdelibs, but I cannot see
any CMake command for add_subdirectory or anything like that which
triggers the build.  Yet it does get built, after kdelibs and a few later
prerequisites have been built.  Secret KDE business? =85 ;-)

ATM it seems kdepimlibs and the PIM applications depend on baloo, also
Gwenview and some KDE extragear stuff: milou and plasma-mediacenter.
And you cannot build kdelibs without baloo.  I guess that list will grow.

Cheers, Ian W.
