I've started to look at KDE4 and wondered if anyone else has started to build it.
According to http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/KDE4 it looks like there will be several new packages needed: qt4 libclucene librdf boost cmake as well as some others that I'm not sure about. arts is no longer a part of kde, but I'm not sure yet if it is needed at all. It looks like HAL and dBus will be required. The base kde download is 220M and that doesn't include the i18n packages and several smaller packages that are in the extragear/ directory: extragear-plasma-4.0.0.tar.bz2 kaider-4.0.0.tar.bz2 kcoloredit-4.0.0.tar.bz2 kfax-4.0.0.tar.bz2 kgraphviewer-4.0.0.tar.bz2 kiconedit-4.0.0.tar.bz2 kmldonkey-4.0.0.tar.bz2 kphotoalbum-4.0.0.tar.bz2 kpovmodeler-4.0.0.tar.bz2 ktorrent-4.0.0.tar.bz2 ligature-4.0.0.tar.bz2 rsibreak-4.0.0.tar.bz2 This is going to be a major effort and the learning curve is going to be steep. I'd appreciate any advice that others may have. -- Bruce -- http://linuxfromscratch.org/mailman/listinfo/blfs-dev FAQ: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/faq.html Unsubscribe: See the above information page
