Common Mistakes

---------------



If configure claims Qt cannot be found, have a look at http://www.trolltech.com

to get a copy of latest Qt 3.3.x version.



Debugging

---------



You can use --enable-debug with the configure script, if you want to have

debug code in your KDE apps and libs.  If debugging is not a concern,

--disable-debug will explicitly avoid compiling additional debugging

functions.



More Info

---------



Have a look at the individual subdirectories, if you want to know, what

versions of apps are included.
