Re: can I use "Make" from within KDE Shell Konsole
I do this all the time and have not had any problems yet. Radu On Wed, 28 Jul 2004, Peter Ryan wrote: It is safe to install ports from within KDE ? At present I shut down KDE, go to the command line and start a Make. If I need to get a file manually from somewhere, I go back into KDE to get it. I would rather do it all from within KDE if possible. The Shell Konsole appears to be the same as the command line thing I have been using.

On occaision, I've updated those, and I'm fine. The new versions run when I restart KDE. Once in a great while, you'll run into library conflicts (when you run a GUI exec within the same session), that clears once you've restarted KDE. All in all, it's a safe bet. I've had little problems, and don't think you'll run into any problems. Running an xterm bascially creates another vterm with the same login as your current KDE session. You have all the same rights. By the same token, if you 'su' to root, and run the command for an executable for a GUI exec, that program will run within your current X session (probably unpriveleged) with root permissions. I often do this with cvsup-gui, ethereal, nessus, and nmap-fe. Hope this helps.

The only time you'll have problems is if you're upgrading or reinstalling a port that is actually _part_ of KDE. If you're unsure, you'll be safe shutting down KDE like you have been, but other ports will install fine, even ports that depend on already installed KDE stuff. -- Bill Moran Potential Technologies http://www.potentialtech.com ___ [EMAIL PROTECTED] mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to "[EMAIL PROTECTED]"
