KDE2 source build sequence

2000-10-28 Thread Robin Collins
Can someone tell me the order in which the KDE2 source packages should be
built?  With Gnome there's a page on their web site listing the package
order and using this I fired up Gnome with only one minor glitch.  With KDE2
though I can find no such list, meaning a massive trial-and-error excercise
discovering which libs any package depends on (and I'm getting _very_ bored
trying to build packages only to find they have dependencies I haven't built
yet sigh).

Cheers,
Robin Collins

Unless I'm forgetting something:

1. QT
2. kdelibs
3. kdebase

Those are all you really need... after that you can install whatever
other KDE packages you want without worrying about the order.

The KDE FAQ says kdesupport is *recommended*, unless you have all
3rd-party libraries it contains. I compiled it right after QT.
