Ixthusdan Posted May 9, 2005 Report Share Posted May 9, 2005 I think there is a link to good instructions from kde's website. But I have never been able to get this to work! Why not use thac's rpm's? They are mavelous. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guest carl0ski Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 you can run kde when you already x running to check it out cd /home/carl0ski/kde3.4/bin ./startkde but i dont know how to install it either. i concur thacs RPMS border useless, especially if you have a slightly non standrad Mandrake install. one example i installed thacs firefox 1.0 official and i continuely got and error directory /home/adam/ not found Considering i don't have a user named adam this is a fault with who compiled it. Recenty tried KDE 3.4.0 RPMS and considering my experience is complete opposite to review of KDE3.4 faster than 3.2 and extremely stable (neither of which thacs rpms provided) It is normal to take hours to download!! then compile the the source code, it took me 3 hours to compile my kernel. (1.46GHZ athlonxp) this took me 12 hours konstruct/kde doesn't build or install amarok, k3b koffice etc look in konstruct/apps/ and repeat the kde process for whatever else you want eg to make amarok cd konstruct/apps/multimedia/amarok make install Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
scarecrow Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 Thac's stuff works fine for me- not perfectly, but no major annoyances. I have built KDE 3.2.0 on Mandy with konstruct in the past, but due to the complexity of the code (or my inability to set things straight) the result was not worth the effort.

iphitus Posted May 21, 2005 Report Share Posted May 21, 2005 You're going to have more problems with Konstruct than you would with thacs rpms. iphiuts Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
