Note: libkab is now obsolete. Please use libkabc in tdelibs/kabc. libkab is
|
|
|
|
|
no longer installed. It's only needed for the conversion tool converting
|
|
|
|
|
libkab data to libkabc data.

The KDE addressbook
|
|
|
|
|
===================
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
This directory contains the sources for the kab API provided by "libkab.so".
|
|
|
|
|
kab is the KDE addressbook, users usually know it by one of the applications
|
|
|
|
|
using the kab API, kab itselfes. But kab intends to do more, it tries to be
|
|
|
|
|
a central database to store personal information for as much KDE
|
|
|
|
|
applications as possible.

To compile this subdirectory, your C++ compiler will be stressed a little.
|
|
|
|
|
You need either a recent version of gcc (2.7.2 or later) or egcs (1.0.2 or
|
|
|
|
|
later), or another C++ compiler that supports the following things:
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
* error free (!) creation of template instances,
|
|
|
|
|
* a STL implementation that is similar to either the one provided by gcc
|
|
|
|
|
2.7 or the one provided by egcs/pgcc or gcc >=2.8 (HP or SGI based).
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Please note that egcs / pgcc 1.0.2 creates errors in the binary when you
|
|
|
|
|
compile the sources using optimization level 6 (-O6). Stick to -O2, and
|
|
|
|
|
it should work. Note: This seems to be solved since gcc 2.95.
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
Since this directory provides only the kab library, you will have to
|
|
|
|
|
install the tdeutils package, that contains the sources for kab's binary,
|
|
|
|
|
also.

|
PS: The situation described above seems to be solved in current
|
|
|
|
|
distributions. All up-to-date compilers do quite well on the sources.
