Hi,
here is the KBE tool which can be help us with prepare KDE for
Solaris. It contains gnu autotools which are needed for build KDE.
Please keep in mind it is alpha version. It's not original by me. It's
based on JDE CBE which have guys from GNOME (JDS team). I have had
just slightly modify and expand those tools.
All tools are going to /opt/kdebld install (it can be modified during
installation steps). During installation process pkgbuild tool create
SVR4 packages for all those tools (then it easy to maintain).
Please feel free to try it. It could be very helpful and then we will
everybody have same build environment. I started with KBE just for me
myself. I would like to have simple build environment which could be
maintain easy.
I have AMD64 (Sun Ultra 20m2) only for testing. Feedback from builds
on sparc machines is welcome.
Stefan, if you don't agree with this or it is against KDE Solaris
philosophy then you could delete kbe from svn repository.

How to install
==========
Fetch from svn repo
http://svn2.cvsdude.com/kdesolaris/trunk/kbe
Note: you don't need root access for installing the KBE or building
KDE anymore, but the build user needs to have the 'Software
Installation' profile. In a typical case, you just need to add
user_name::::profiles=Software Installation
to /etc/user_attr.
Then you can run
=============
./kbe-install
You can check which tools are installed
=============================
pkginfo |grep KBE
Uninstall
=======
./kbe-remove
How to use the KDE KBE
===================
- Log in as the build user you specified when installing the KBE.
- Set up your environment to use the KDE KBE, by sourcing the env.sh or
the env.csh script (depending on your shell) located in <kbe_prefix>/bin:
If your shell is sh, ksh, bash or zsh, type
. <kbe_prefix>/bin/env.sh
if your shell is csh or tcsh, type
source <kbe_prefix>/bin/env.csh
