I've never tried to hack a KDE appliction before, and I'm having a bunch of trouble just finding the right resources to RTF*.
The package is six-0.5.3, and I have some tweaks I got from the original author back at release 0.3.3, but I cannot get them into the 0.5.3 source tree properly. It involves a new target in Makefile.am, but if I run a new 'automake' I get a Makefile.in which is _very_ different from the old one, and won't even compile the old target. Most obviously, a bunch of *.moc targets are not generated. The Makefile has some references to 'automoc', but that does not seem to be an executable or package in Gentoo (but if I'm reading it right, it is a package in Ubuntu). I have a book on autotools, but have only used them, not configured them. I have a book on Qt (apropos of moc and automoc), but have never written Qt code. My tweak is for a non-GUI alternative, so I was hoping that the GUI stuff would just keep working and not bother me. KDE itself seems to be largely lacking in programming docs (or I just missed it), although there a a few short tutorials. I'm not looking for answers (my questions may not yet be well-enough formulated for that), but pointers to resources. Of course, if anyone has answers, or can guide me, that would be welcome too. -- Kevin O'Gorman, PhD -- gentoo-user@lists.gentoo.org mailing list
