kvim/vimpart on ppc
Hello,
I'm new to KDE. I started using it specifically because I want to use kvim
&
vimpart (on my powerpc running woody with KDE 3.1). After a fruitless
search for debs for my platform, I attemped to compile kvim. After reading
through the Makefile, setting things to what I think is appropriate, I run
./configure and I get this error:
[...]
checking for xmkmf... /usr/bin/X11/xmkmf
checking for X... no
checking if X11 header files can be found... no
checking --enable-gui argument... no GUI support
configure: error: could not find Qt directory
I always get this, even if I explicitly use all the --enables that is
mentioned
in the documentation and I ran make reconfig too. Do you have any idea of
what
the steps are to take to get this to compile? I set GUI_INC_LOC =
-I/usr/share/qt3 and GUI_LIB_LOC = -L/usr/lib/qt3, and I set
CONF_OPT_X=/usr/bin/X11/.
Anyways, I then opted for a different tactic and I made a little more
progress. I
downloaded the Conectiva rpm for vimpart and kvim and turned them into debs
with alien. Then I installed them using `dpkg -i`. This was successful.
Alien
ended up installing them in /usr/lib/kde3/bin, which may be significant to
my
problem, I don't know. According to the instructions distributed with
vimpart,
I should then be able to go to:
Control Center->KDE Components->Component Chooser->Embedded Text Editor
and select kvim. No love though :( So, do I have to move the vimpart
and/or kvim
binaries somewhere else, or what? How to get KDE to see that I have vimpart
and kvim?
Many thanks,
Gurujiwan
