KDE ports for CRUX
Authors: Daniel Mueller and Nick Steeves
Automated install of KDE 3.5
Since KDE has way too many compilation requirements, I would like to inform you of the PKGMK_IGNORE_FOOTPRINT variable in /etc/pkgmk.conf. You'll probably get a bunch of .footprint mismatches during compilation if your system differs from my build host, so it is advisable to enable PKGMK_IGNORE_FOOTPRINT while building KDE.
- Install and configure prt-get
- Run the following command:
$ prt-get depinst --install-scripts kdebase
I highly recommend that you remove all previously installed KDE packages.
