Almost every KDE2 program I am trying to build fails during compilation for one reason or another (usually mismatch between method calls and what the compiler finds in the header files). I would like to hear from other people if they had more luck then I did and if they are using the SuSE RPMS or installed KDE2 from sources. If I would like to install from source, do I have to remove KDE1 and KDE2 from my system first? Any tips would be appreciated.
Compiling KDE is rather painless. Just get the whole source distribution and make sure you compile and install kdesupport, kdelibs and kdebase first (in that order). You don't have to remove older KDEs from your system, just install the new one to its own directory, e.g. /opt/kde-2.1-beta2. I did it like this: - untar the sources to /tmp - export KDEDIR=/opt/kde-2.1-beta2 - export PATH=$KDEDIR:$PATH - cd /tmp/kdesupport* - ./configure --prefix=$KDEDIR && make && make install - ldconfig; rehash - cd /tmp/kdelibs* - ./configure --prefix=$KDEDIR && make && make install - ldconfig; rehash - ...
