Common Mistakes
|
|
---------------
|
|
IMPORTANT: most applications need KDEDIR as the directory where KDE is
|
|
installed. Please set this in your login file.
|
|
|
|
If XPM support wasn't configured, it may be that configure has no idea where
|
|
your XPM libraries are. If so, set XPM_INCLUDE and XPM_LDFLAGS to the paths
|
|
where configure should look for XPM. But if you haven't installed XPM or it
|
|
didn't come with your system, that's no problem. You will only miss a few
|
|
screensavers. The same thing applies with OPENGL support. Here you have to
|
|
set GL_INCLUDE and GL_LDFLAGS.
|
|
|
|
If configure claims Qt cannot be found, have a look at
|
|
ftp://ftp.trolltech.com and download the latest Qt 3.3.x release.
|
|
|
|
Be advised, if you're using FreeBSD, then please do not use the Qt port that
|
|
comes along with it.
|
|
|
|
Configuring
|
|
-----------
|
|
tdebase's configure script supports all the standard GNU autoconf options
|
|
(you can have the various options listed for you by specifying the --help
|
|
switch), plus the following options are also supported. Note: the *non*
|
|
default variation is listed, so if you see --enable-debug, the default is
|
|
--disable debug.
|
|
|
|
`--x-includes=DIR'
|
|
use X include files in DIR
|
|
|
|
`--x-libraries=DIR'
|
|
use X library files in DIR
|
|
|
|
`--enable-debug'
|
|
creates debugging code [default=no]
|
|
|
|
`--enable-strict'
|
|
Add strict[er] compiler options (may not work!) to the CFLAGS and
|
|
CXXFLAGS. This is GNU CC specific for the time being.
|
|
|
|
`--with-gnu-ld'
|
|
assume the C compiler uses GNU ld [default=no]
|
|
|
|
`--disable-libtool-lock'
|
|
force libtool not to do file locking
|
|
|
|
`--disable-nls'
|
|
do not use Native Language Support (i18n)
|
|
|
|
`--with-qt-dir'
|
|
where the root of qt is installed
|
|
|
|
`--with-qt-includes=DIR'
|
|
look for the Qt header files in DIR
|
|
|
|
`--with-qt-libraries=DIR'
|
|
look for the Qt library in DIR
|
|
|
|
`--with-extra-includes=DIR'
|
|
look for include files in DIR in addition to any other
|
|
`standard' paths
|
|
|
|
`--with-extra-libs=DIR'
|
|
look for [extra] libraries in DIR too
|
|
|
|
`--disable-path-check'
|
|
don't try to make sure that tdebase is installed into the same
|
|
base KDE directory as the rest of KDE
|
|
|
|
`--with-install-root=DIR'
|
|
the root to install to [default=/] (i.e. make / == DIR, so /usr
|
|
becomes DIR/usr)
|
|
|
|
`--disable-rpath'
|
|
do not use the rpath feature of ld
|
|
|
|
`--with-xdmdir=DIR'
|
|
use xdm (and config files) from DIR if the xdm config dir can't be
|
|
found automaticly
|
|
|
|
`--with-pam[=ARG]'
|
|
enable support for PAM: ARG=[yes|no|service name]
|
|
|
|
`--with-shadow'
|
|
if you want to check for and use shadow password support if it's present
|
|
|
|
`--without-gl'
|
|
disable any software which depends on OpenGL
|
|
|
|
`--without-xpm'
|
|
disable color pixmap XPM tests
|
|
|
|
`--with-xinerama'
|
|
enable Xinerama support
|
|
|
|
Please check ./configure --help for a more current list of options and what
|
|
they do.
|
|
|
|
|
|
Debugging
|
|
---------
|
|
You can use --enable-debug with the configure script, if you want to have
|
|
debug code in your KDE apps and libs. If you experience problems and want to
|
|
report problems to the KDE Bugs database, it is recommended to recompile
|
|
with this switch enabled to make the backtraces more verbose (and thus
|
|
giving the developer more information about the cause of the bug).
|
|
|
|
|
|
Removal/Uninstallation
|
|
----------------------
|
|
You can use 'make uninstall' if you want to remove the kde from the dirs.
|
|
This feature has not been tested completely, and is depreciated. On a system
|
|
where KDEDIR is specific to KDE (i.e. not /usr), rm -rf $KDEDIR does it as
|
|
well.
|
|
|
|
|
|
More Info
|
|
---------
|
|
If your system does not have XPM installed, and you cannot locate a package
|
|
of it, you may obtain it from ftp://avahi.inria.fr/pub/xpm, or you may find
|
|
it in ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/distfiles
|
|
|
|
If you are running a FreeBSD system, you will need to make sure that LIBS is
|
|
set to "-Wl,-export-dynamic". The easiest way to do this is to prefix
|
|
configure with it, i.e.: LIBS="-Wl,-export-dynamic" ./configure. Thanks to
|
|
Will Andrews <will@FreeBSD.org> and Arun Sharma <adsharma@sharmas.dhs.org>
|
|
for identifying what needed to be done, and how to do it, and such.
|
|
|
|
If your system supports PAM (Plugable Authentication Modules), please see
|
|
the README.pam file in this directory for more information about using KDE
|
|
with PAM.
|
|
|
|
Have a look at the individual subdirectories, if you would like to find out
|
|
more about a specific application included in tdebase.
