Yes, compilation can take quite a while. Note that I never managed to get it
working with gcc-3.1 (compiles but dcop doesn't work). The 'standard' debian
gcc/g++ in sid works a treat (didn't try this with woody).
Hmmm, maybe one should change the way kde is packaged. Would it be possible
to package kde like
/opt/kde/<version>/...
or something similar?
This would not be that much of a problem if dpkg would support different
install root directories, maybe something like
dpkg --prefix=/opt/kde/3.0.2 -i ...
Am I barfing up the wrong tree here?
