It's not really the fault of the KDE port; it puts headers/libraries in places appropriate for FreeBSD. What *is* the culprit is that most KDE apps use GNU autoconf to control the build process, and autoconf doesn't yet have a nice set of KDE macros (unlike QT, etc) which the end-user can use to point to the KDE includes and libraries. This means that configure is left attempting to find them itself, and looks in all the Linux places but not the FreeBSD places. I usually end up editing the configure script to hard-code the location of the KDE libraries and includes. -- Matt Emmerton To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-ports" in the body of the message
