Since I'm interested in this too, and nobody has posted a better way yet, I'll tell you what I did to make it work, in a VERY "dirty way", in -current. Hope somebody posts a better and cleaner way. This is what I did : Use the ports to install QT 2.1, gtk12, gmake, jpeg, png, xpm, tiff, gettext, libungif, uulib, automake & autoconf. That will also install some other things (Mesa, TCL, TK...) we need for KDE, that's OK. Make the following links : ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/moc2 /usr/X11R6/bin/moc ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk12.so.2 /usr/X11R6/lib/libgtk.so ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libqt2.so.3 /usr/X11R6/lib/libqt.so ln -s /usr/X11R6/lib/libqt2.so.3 /usr/X11R6/lib/libqt.so.3 ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/X11R6/lib/libpng.so ln -s /usr/local/lib/libpng.so.3 /usr/X11R6/lib/libpng.so.3 ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/qt2 /usr/X11R6/include/qt ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/gtk12 /usr/X11R6/include/gtk ln -s /usr/X11R6/include/gtk10 /usr/X11R6/include/gtk ln -s /usr/X11R6/bin/gtk12-config /usr/X11R6/bin/gtk-config That will "fool" the software into thinking he's accessing the "old" versions, when in fact it's using the new ones. In case they already exist, rename any "older" versions/dirs of any of those listed above that might conflict when making the links. Run the "./configure" script for KDE using the following options : --with-qt-dir=/usr/X11R6/bin --with-qt-includes=/usr/X11R6/include/qt2 --with-qt-libraries=/usr/X11R6/lib --with-extra-includes=/usr/local/include --with-extra-libs=/usr/local/lib You might want to add some other configuration options, like "--enable-threads", etc. See the "./configure" script for other possible options. Use GMAKE (!very important!) to make/install KDE, NOT the BSD "native" Make. Add "/usr/local/kde/lib/" to your LD_LIBRARY_PATH, e.g., add it to the line "ldconfig_paths=..." in /etc/defaults/rc.conf Add "/usr/local/kde/bin" to your path, e.g. add it to your ".cshrc" file (for example, if you are using the default shell) The order in which you make the KDE parts is important : first make/install "Support", then "KDE-qt-add-on", then "Libs", then "Base". From there on it almost makes no difference in what order you make/install the rest. In a couple of parts during the compilations it will stop with an error saying that "this or that" is not there, or it's bad, etc. I had to remove those dirs and run GMake again... :-( Add a file called ".xinitrc" to you home dir, that says "exec startkde", and Run "xinit". "Disclaimer" : This is by NO MEANS neither a "recommendable" or "clean" way of forcing KDE2-preALPHA to run on -current, it's just what I did, and clearly it's NOT guaranteed to work. ;-) !Good Luck! ----- Original Message ----- From: "VINSON WAYNE HOWARD" <Wayne.Vinson@Colorado.EDU> To: <freebsd-current@freebsd.org> Sent: Tuesday, May 02, 2000 6:46 PM Subject: KDE 2-preALPHA > Has anyone had any luck with kde 2-preALPHA on -current.
