DragonMage Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 No rpms for mandrake yet, but I give it a week before Texstar or Mandrake to create rpms for my mandrake 9.0. Should be similar specwise since RC6 rpms are working fine for me so far. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest bradenm Posted January 27, 2003 Report Share Posted January 27, 2003 Compiling it now... :P Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaloScan Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 And I'd just gotten RC6 RPMs a week ago. :o I plan on waiting for Texstar RPMs but was wondering what would be the easiest way of recompiling 3.1 for my processor. I'm a little too afraid to just grab the source files and do a compile that way and was hoping there would be some easier way of having 3.1 compile for my processor. Something similar to the emerge program for Gentoo (emerge kde and it'll start compiling for the processor you have). Is there some similiar way in Mdk? Is that what SRPMs are for? Thanks.

beesea Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Is there some similiar way in Mdk? Is that what SRPMs are for? basically yes. when you rebuild a source rpm, you're creating an rpm compiled from your own machine Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaloScan Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Ah. Unfortunately, I don't see too many SRPMs on Texstar or other sources. But I got impatient and started compiling 3.1 Final from tarballs a couple minutes ago though. Hopefully, things will go as expected. :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c_m_f Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 is there any specific order to compiling all the appropriate parts? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
beesea Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 Unfortunately, I don't see too many SRPMs on Texstar or other sources you should be able to find the src rpms from cooker is there any specific order to compiling all the appropriate parts? you probably have to compile kdelibs first. i think the kde faq on their website has the proper order to do things Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c_m_f Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 is QT 3.1 included in KDE 3.1, or will i need to install it prior to installing KDE 3.1, my plan was to uninstall KDE 3.0.whatever i have and then freshly compile KDE 3.1, also how long will compile take on an athlon xp 1800+ 390mb? oh and do i need 'kde-i18n-3.1' as its a hefty 132mb, which is large fir 56k, and i was hoping to get it compiling over night! another thing in the kde FAQ it says "First of all, please make sure that you have added KDE's binary installation directory (e.g. /opt/kde/bin) to your PATH and KDE's library installation directory to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH (only necessary on systems that do not support rpath" What where is PATH?

beesea Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 is QT 3.1 included in KDE 3.1 i doubt, so you're probably gonna have to get that installed first. What where is PATH? i'm assuming you're using the default shell, so the path is set in the file .bash_profile in your home directory. there should already be a path there, so all you'd have to do is add to it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest ndeb Posted January 28, 2003 Report Share Posted January 28, 2003 For all those compiling from source, take a look at http://www.kde.org/info/requirements/3.1.html . The order of installation is: qt -> arts -> kdelibs -> kdebase . Once u do that u can install the rest in any order u like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest c_m_f Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 sorry about all the naggng but another question, heres my current .bash_profile # .bash_profile # Get the aliases and functions if [ -f ~/.bashrc ]; then . ~/.bashrc fi # User specific environment and startup programs PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin export PATH unset USERNAME so if i install kde to '/opt/kde/bin' would i add this to PATH or change it? also do i need to worry about the LD_LIBRARY_PATH? or is that all editing of files i have to do?

Guest ndeb Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 I would suggest that Instead of tampering with ur .bash_profile, u should create an executable script file in $HOME/bin that looks like: #!/bin/sh export KDEDIR=/opt/kde export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde $KDEDIR/bin/startkde Now call this script from ur $HOME/.xinitrc.

beesea Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 all you'd have to do is add the directory to the end of the path list, separating directories with a colon. so your new path would read: PATH=$PATH:$HOME/bin:/opt/kde/bin Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest HaloScan Posted January 29, 2003 Report Share Posted January 29, 2003 Here's an extremely useful program I found yesterday: http://konsole.kde.org/konstruct/ Basically it downloads and compiles KDE 3.1 (including all dependencies). Just download the program, extract and cd to the meta/kde directory and type "make install". And that's it! Oh and make sure you read it's README to add the path settings after it's done compiling/installing. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
