Compiling KDE 2.2 on potato ?

[Dave Collett <jgaidin@bigpond.net.au>]

Hello all,
I am interested in trying KDE 2.2 (I currently use gnome). My system is
currently running debian 2.2r3 with the backports for kernel 2.4.x and
XFree86 4.1.0.

Since it seems KDE 2.2 will NOT be avaliable for potato through this
project (is this correct ?), I was wondering if anyone has had any luck
compiling from source on potato ?

I dont know what sort of library versions etc that KDE2.2 depends on, so
I just thought I would ask if anyone has done this already in potato and
if any complications arise, before I try it myself.

Please let me know if you have sucessfully (or not!) installed KDE2.2
from souce (or binary even) from the standard release at www.kde.org on
a potato system and what special procedures (if any) were required.

Thankyou, keep up the good work !
Dave
