Re: KDE 2.2.2 beta1 released
There is a new snapshot (v 2.249) available that has Ralf's patch in it. .. it work's now for me (W2K SP2). Thanks, Stephan
RE: KDE 2.2.2 beta1 released
I think one of the major obstacles is to get the mainline cygwin
maintainers to approve the /opt directory tree. There has been some
discussion of this in the past, but it always ends in not wanting it
because they say so. One might say why not
/usr/X11R6/{qt2|qt3|kde2|kde3}? To that I say bah! The way it is
supposed to be is /opt is for large or excessively significant addons to
the system. This way one avoids cluttering up the X11R6 directory. Most
distros use /opt for kde and Ralph currently uses it. Is there really a
good reason why cygwin shouldn't use /opt for kde (possible gnome as
well)? Feel free to disagree...
The only point to add is that for qt the default installation path is
/usr/lib/{qt2|qt3}.
Currently I'm using /usr/local/lib/qt... because it isn't a cygwin distributed
package like cygipc.
I vote also for using a new directory structure like ...
/opt/kde[123] for kde
/usr/lib/qt[123] for qt

RE: KDE 2.2.2 beta1 released
Robert, The same report as before. When it gets to the kdehelp file with a filename of ~83 characters, it goes into an infinite loop saying it has to move the file to make the directory. Didn't ralf submit a patch for this? I haven't seen it show up on the cygwin-apps-cvs mailing list... I'm on windows ME, so it is possible this is a Windows ME gotcha, I encourage you tho whip up a virtualpc session and see for yourself if you can. If not, I'll try my best to help, but C (not OOP C++) is the extent of my knowledge... Cheers, Nicholas P.S. - A suggestion I have for furture implementations would to have a simulated setup mode for debugging purposes. this way one can test install without actually installing (useful in my case as I have already custom compiled my kde2 packages). --- Robert Collins [EMAIL PROTECTED] wrote: -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] On Behalf Of Stephan H.

RE: KDE 2.2.2 beta1 released
This is great! I love to see the progress with KDE on Cygwin. Keep up the good work. Maybe in about a year we'll be able to distribute KDE on Cygwin via Cygwin setup.exe packages :) I assume, this point will be happens earlier. :-) Ralf
