Krecord Questions

[skyhawk]

I am considering "Krecord" as a means to transfer audio from audio cassettes to CD (audio cassette to WAV, then WAV to CD). No package is available for Mandriva 2007.0, so I will need to compile from source (krecord-1.16.tar.gz).

 

In Krecord's README file, I see the following:

 

If you run in trouble make sure you have set the QTDIR and KDEDIR

environment variables, like this:

 

$ export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3

$ export KDEDIR=/opt/kde3

 

Of course you have to adopt the values to match the installation paths

on your system ...

 

When I run "env" from the CLI, I see that my QTDIR is set as needed, but I need to set KDEDIR to "/usr/lib/kde3", and I want to set that environment variable permanently, making it unnecessary to add it every time at boot-up. What is the best way to do that? I am the only user on my computer.

 

Also, if anyone has any experience using Krecord with on-board audio (i810_audio : Intel Corp.|ICH2 810 Chipset AC'97 Audio Controller [MULTIMEDIA_AUDIO] (vendor:8086 device:2445 subv:0e11 subd:000b) and using "line-in" as input, please share your results. I do not use ALSA, only OSS.
