In order to install Kile on MacOS X, you need the following things:
|
||
|
|
- a working X11 installation
|
||
|
|
- a working LaTeX distribution
|
||
|
|
- the KDE libraries
|
||
|
|
- and Kile itself, of course
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Once everything is in place, Kile needs X11 to run, so make sure you launch X11 before Kile.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installing X11
|
||
|
|
--------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Apple provides its own X11 installation for MacOS X 10.3 (downloadable from Apple's web site) and 10.4 (available directly on the Tiger DVD). If you install by hand, make sure to install the X11User.pkg package.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Apple's documentation on X11: http://developer.apple.com/opensource/tools/X11.html
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
You should install Apple's X11. But if you have a good reason not to, Fink (see below) provides the latest X.org distribution. Refer to Fink documentation for details. MAKE SURE YOU NEVER MIX TWO X11 VERSIONS ON THE SAME SYSTEM.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Installing all the rest through Fink
|
||
|
|
------------------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fink is the packaging system from Debian ported to MacOS X. Installing Fink itself is very straightforward, so only two things will be mentioned here:
|
||
|
|
- you must download and install the latest Xcode version from Apple (free download, just requires registration),
|
||
|
|
- make sure Fink uses the package repository compatible with your system (specifically, if you have MacOS X 10.4, use the 10.4 branch and *not* the 10.4-transitional branch).
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Fink lets you choose between precompiled, ready-to-use, packages, and compiling them yourself. Practically speaking, the Fink project provides few up-to-date precompiled packages, so compilation is often necessary. But don't worry, the procedure is automatic in any case.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
After that, installing the rest is very straightforward:
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
- LaTeX distribution: install packages "tetex" and "tetex-base".
|
||
|
|
- KDE libraries: the bare minimum would be package "kdebase3-unified", but you should also install packages like "kpdf", "kdvi" and "kghostview" to make best use of Kile. Installing a localisation package to have dialogs in your language would also be nice ; for example, the French package is called "kde-i18n-french".
|
||
|
|
- Kile: its package is called "kile".
|
||
|
|
- Other useful packages, depending on your habits: "bibview", "gnuplot", "xfig", "beamer", "texpower"... Just go shopping with Fink.
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
Have fun!

Other installation methods
|
||
|
|
--------------------------
|
||
|
|
|
||
|
|
There is no easy way, other than Fink, to install the KDE libraries and Kile. But if you want, there is another popular way to install LaTeX: the i-Installer.
