Hello,
I'm using KDE-3.5 and QT-3.3.4, installed in /opt/kde-3.5 and /opt/qt-3.3.4
resp:
/opt/kde -> kde-3.5
/opt/kde-3.5
/opt/qt -> qt-3.3.4
/opt/qt-3.3.4
In the /etc/ld.so.conf file I've added the lines /opt/qt/lib
and /opt/kde/lib.
Now to set the paths right, I've created the files:
/etc/profile.d/qt.sh and /etc/profile.d/kde.sh:
#Begin kde.sh
if [ -d /opt/kde ]; then
export KDEDIR=/opt/kde
if [ -d $KDEDIR/bin ]; then
pathappend $KDEDIR/bin
fi
if [ -d $KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig ]; then
pathappend $KDEDIR/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH
fi
fi;
#End kde.sh
#Begin qt.sh
if [ -d /opt/qt ]; then
export QTDIR=/opt/qt
if [ -d $QTDIR/bin ]; then
pathappend $QTDIR/bin
fi
if [ -d $QTDIR/lib/pkgconfig ]; then
pathappend $QTDIR/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH
fi
fi;
#End qt.sh
(I know in most cases the checks for [ -d $QTDIR/bin ] and
[ -d $KDEDIR/bin ] are not needed: always true.)
I miss this information in the BLFS book (6.1 and svn).
In the chapter "The Bash Shell Startup Files" there is a X.sh file, to set
the paths right to use the X server. Why not such files for KDE and QT and
mention it in the resp. chapters about configuration of KDE and QT?
(at least as an example)
(I can imagine that these settings are different per user: not every user is
using KDE/QT but maybe GNOME. Then not in the system-wide /etc/profile.d
directory but in ......)
