I've got it compiled in /opt/kde3, but I've got qt2.4 and kde2.2 all over /usr (ala debian packages), but I've set QTDIR, LD_LIBRARY_PATH, and PATH to override this. Anyone else had this first time experience? -- Giles Constant, Systems Programmer Hyperlink Interactive http://www.hyperlink-interactive.co.uk

Just building kdelibs takes 1.5GB and several hours to compile on my machine. Currently I have about 140MB of free disk space left and thats after juggling partitions, NFS mounting /home etc. So my attempts to follow KDE development have ground to a halt. One thing you might want to look into is SourceForge has a "compile farm" perhaps they can arrange for you to be able to set up your chroot on a fast alpha or something? Of course if some kind soul out there has a good machine you could use that's even better (and if they don't mind giving me an account, I might be able to help.) -- Jaldhar H.

[kde3] Appeal for help - powerful box needed
Hi all! I'm currently working on KDE3 debs, but have been crippled by a lack of a) processor speed and b) space. The only box which has space enough is a P166, and the most powerful box is a PII 350, which needs to keep KDE2.2 anyway. So, I'm making an appeal for help in the form of access to a build box, which must have the following: * SSH access * Reasonable (preferably >1gig) CPU * A fair bit of RAM * Decent connectivity (enough to pass KDE debs back and forth) * A chroot for me to work in (I need Qt3, KDE3, etc, installed to build). If anyone can satisfy the above criteria, could you please drop me a line privately? Thanks very, very much, a rather embarassed d (This mail was triggered when I ran out of space on my second-largest parition [my largest being /, which doesn't have much room *free*], on the PII 350 I laughingly call my "build box"). -- Daniel Stone<[EMAIL PROTECTED]> what is netbsd good for?
