environment question
Please excuse this quasi newbie question: I am running a testing/sid mix
with kde 3.0.2 and for compiling small kde apps my /etc/profile reads
--------------------
PATH="/usr/local/kde/bin:/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/bin/X11:/usr/games"
[...]
export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3
export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde
export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
export MANPATH=$QTDIR/doc/man:$MANPATH
export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
--------------------
In the QTDIR /usr/lib/qt3 directory I created symlinks
/usr/lib/qt3/bin points to /usr/bin
/usr/lib/qt3/lib points to /usr/lib
/usr/lib/qt3/include points to /usr/include/qt (pointing to nowhere, as
I just realized - the dir /usr/include/qt was perhaps used in kde2 times)
With this setup most but not all small kde apps did compile but I always
needed to enter the full path to /usr/local/kde/bin/[appname] to start a
program.
Now I set up a woody box with Ralph's great 3.1 debs, created the same
/etc/profile entries and links but when trying to compile something
./configure always gives me a "qt-mt not found" error.
Curiously enough, with google or through the KDE site I did not find any
page giving a simple newbie HOWTO of setting up the environment for a
Debian box.
http://women.kde.org/tips/kdetips.phtml was as close as I got but it
does not account for the Debian locations of qt libs - perhaps someone
can be so kind and help me set up a proper configuration.
And wouldn't it be a good thing to have a Debian KDE3-specific page,
maybe linked to http://mypage.bluewin.ch/kde3-debian/, with the
environment stuff? (or did I miss a manpage?)
Greetings,
Andreas von Heydwolff
