TITLE:		KDE 3.0
LFS-VERSION:	3.3
AUTHOR:		Pascal Adami <pascal.adami@balcab.ch>

SYNOPSIS:

	I would like to show you how to install KDE 3 with all required and
some optional packages. I assume that you've installed and configured
your Xfree86 with its depending packages (zlib for example). I don't
want to show you how to configure all the libraries and utilities
KDE can take advantage of, because this is documented in the BLFS book
(http://beyond.linuxfromscratch.org) or in other hints.

--------------

KDE prerequisites:

1. Add "/opt/kde/lib" and "/opt/kde/qt/lib" to your "ld.so.conf" and run 
   "ldconfig" after every package you've installed
2. add "QTDIR=/opt/kde/qt" to your profile and re-login

--------------

Installing QT:

1. extract the QT package to "/opt/kde/qt"
2. ./configure -system-zlib -qt-gif -system-libpng -system-libjpeg \
   -system-libmng -thread -no-g++-exceptions
3. make

You're finished. There's no "make install" for QT.

--------------

Installing KDE 3.0:

First install arts, then kdelibs, kdebase and so on. The best order IMHO to 
compile the packages is the list in the download section of the hint.

Compile each package using these commands:

1. ./configure --disable-debug --enable-final
2. make
3. make install

Explanations:

"disable-debug" - This makes the binaries a lot smaller and isn't needed for
		general use.
"enable-final"  - This makes the binaries smaller too and the compilation 
		process a lot faster.

Remember to run "ldconfig" after each package. There's no need for 
"--enable-prefix=" because the default directory of KDE 3 is /opt/kde.

When you're finished with all the packages you need to edit your "~/.xinitrc" 
file. This should be a one line file with "exec startkde" in it.

You're finished, type "startx" and you'll see your cool KDE splash screen!
