Re: Building kde2 from source packages
Hello!
Compiling takes about 24 hours (with kOffice) on my P1/133 machine, so I did
my last install with the packages at kde.tdyc.org, but the packages lead to
dependency problems :(.
These are the steps I did for installing it before I used the packages and
which I will probably do again with the final version:
1.) get qt2.2.1 source and kde source packages (at least kde libs, support
and base)
1a.) :) unpack the qt tarball in usr/local; rename the unpacked subdir into
"qt" and change your bash configuration according to its readme
2.) unpack all other tar.gzs (i suggest using a special directory for that,
although the files will be unpacked into subdirs)
3.) look into the file COMPILING (or something similar) in the kdelibs
subdir, and look for the options for building)
4.) change into the qt dir and do ./configure --opts, where opts are the
different options which are suggested in the above file ("COMPILING") -
*VERY IMPORTANT FOR WORKING GIF/JPG SUPPORT!!!*
4a.) do "make" in the qt dir
5.) change into the kdesupport dir, ./configure, make, make install (will
install it in /usr/local/kde)
6.) do the same with the kdelibs
7.) do the same with all other packages (after kdelibs, you can build and
install any other packages in any order)
8.) switch to /usr/local/kde/bin/startkde as default window manager
Kind Regards,
Stephan Hachinger
P.S. If you've got any further questions, just send me an email.
