KMyMoney (covered by the GNU license - see COPYING) If you need some more information, please make sure to visit the projects homepage at http://kmymoney2.sourceforge.net/ A lot of information is found there. KMyMoney is a true KDE application and therefor requires the KDE as well as QT libraries. If you want to compile the application yourself, you have to make sure to have the development relevant parts (include files, link libraries) of these two projects. KMyMoney is based on min QT 3.2 and KDE 3.2 --------------------------------- Prior to installation --------------------------------- To compile, you will need the development headers for KDE libs and all additional you install (libofx, aqbanking, etc) Also, you will need the compile tools. This includes make and gcc Example for K/Ubuntu: sudo apt-get install tdelibs4-dev build-essential --------------------------------- Compiling and installing KMyMoney --------------------------------- 1a) If you got the sources from CVS you will need to type: make -f Makefile.dist before you proceed. If you installed from a source tar-ball, you don't have to run this command. 1b) If you got the sources from a tar-ball you will need to type: tar -xvjf kmymoney2-[version].tar.bz2 or tar -xvzf kmymoney2-[version].tar.gz depending if the packages was made with bzip2 or gzip compression. Change into the directory with cd kmymoney2-[version] The following steps have to be performed no matter where you got the source from. 2) Run configure to tell the project about your local environment ./configure --with-qt-dir=[your location of qt3] \ --prefix=[your location of trinity] Debian/Ubuntu/Kubuntu/... users have to prepend the call to configure with a variable setting to be able to view the online manual from within the application. If you have such a system, please use the following command syntax: kde_htmldir=/usr/share/doc/tde/HTML ./configure ---with.... Below, please find a table of values for the above for several distributions: Distribution | --with-qt-dir | --prefix ------------------+-------------------------+--------------------------- SuSE >= 8.1 | omit this parameter | ommit this parameter Mandrake 9.0 | omit this parameter | /usr Slackware >= 9.0 | omit this parameter | /opt/kde MEPIS | omit this parameter | /usr RedHat 8/9 | omit this parameter | /usr Fedora 1/2 | omit this parameter | /usr Mandriva 2006 | omit this parameter | /usr Debian | omit this parameter | omit this parameter K/X/Ubuntu | omit this parameter | omit this parameter so for SuSE 9.1 the command is: ./configure --mandir=/usr/share/man and for Debian/Ubuntu the command is: kde_htmldir=/usr/share/doc/tde/HTML ./configure Please tell us the values for other distributions, so we can add them to this list. Send an e-mail to the developers mailing list. See the address below. 3) Build the package by issuing the following command: make 4) Gain root permissions to install the application Type the command su and provide the necessary password to become 'root'. (You can skip this step and step 6 if your distribution uses sudo, and just prefix sudo the command in the next step. eg, sudo make install) 5) Install the application Run the command make install to populate the directories in the KDE directory tree. 6) Revert to normal user Type exit to become the normal user again. This concludes the installation process of KMyMoney. Please read INSTALL for generic instructions on how to use configure. AND/OR Get KDevelop and use the supplied kmymoney2.kdevprj located in the base directory.
