In my ongoing mission to beautify my Woody KDE 3.1.4 desktop, I've downloaded the Plastik style (or is it a theme ? ... I'm confused) from www.kde-look.org - which gets you a tarball of source code ... (7559-plastik-0.3.9.tar.gz)
I've compiled it up (which turned out to be a minor project in itself), and installed it, and now I see what everybody is enthusing about - it's just the kind of style I've been wanting, and I *really* like it. (http://www.glimmer.demon.co.uk/kde/kate-aa-with-plastik-yummy.png) And now I'd like to install it on a number of other Woody boxes I look after, which are _not_ development workstations ... so I don't really want to have to install all the additional packages you need for compiling KDE apps (libqt3-mt-dev, kdebase-dev, and all the dependencies that drags in). Sooo ... I'd like to know if it's possible to package up the "binary" of the Plastik style I've made, for transfer to the other boxes. If it's possible, I'd be grateful if someone could point me at some instructions for doing so. Thanks very much.

Please check your installation! For more details about this problem, look at the end of config.log. Make sure that you have compiled Qt with thread support! means, and how to get past it ... it just means you need to install "libqt3-mt-dev" - on a Woody box anyway. -- I tried to patent patent barratry as a business model, but there was too much prior art.
