-ORIGINAL TEXT
-MAY BE OUTDATED AS OF 07/25/2011
-=========================================================================
-
-THIS DOCUMENT DESCRIBES HOW YOU CAN COMPILE KDE WHEN USING SUBVERSION
-
-(If you use source tarballs, you can skip "make -f Makefile.cvs" and
-should use "make distclean" instead of "svn-clean")
-
-What you need
-=============
-
-Make sure you get the following stuff from the repository:
-
-qt-copy (This is qt-3.3.2)
-arts
-tdelibs
-tdebase (strongly recommended but not strictly necessary)
-<any other package you are interested in>
-
-It is important that you compile AND INSTALL the above packages in the 
-above order.
-
-Further you will need GNU make, autoconf 2.52, automake 1.5 and 
-a working C++ compiler (eg. gcc 2.95.2)
-
-Preparations
-============
-
-Before you start you must decide two things:
-
-1) Where do you want to have Qt installed? Qt is a bit lame in that it 
-basically installs itself in its own source-tree, but symlinks are your 
-friend. E.g you could link /usr/local/lib/qt3 to where you keep your Qt 
-source. Qt libs then end up in /usr/local/lib/qt3/lib.
-
-2) Where do you want to have KDE installed. A good candidate is /usr/local/kde
-
-Make sure you do (if using sh, ksh, or bash):
-export TDEDIR=/usr/local/kde
-
-With csh or tcsh the following is more appropriate:
-
-setenv TDEDIR /usr/local/kde
-
-Now you want to make sure that Qt and KDE libraries are picked up correctly.
-
-On systems that respond to environment variables something similar to the 
-following is appropriate:
-
-export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$TDEDIR/lib:$QTDIR/lib
-
-On systems whose diety of choice is ldconfig, try:
-ldconfig -m $TDEDIR/lib
-ldconfig -m $QTDIR/lib
-
-You probably also want to add $TDEDIR/bin and $QTDIR/bin to your path.
-
-See http://www.kde.org/kde2-and-trinity.html for tips about setting up
-KDE 3.0 next to KDE 2.x.
-
-Compiling
-=========
-
-The magic sequence to compile & install a package is:
-gmake -f Makefile.cvs
-./configure --enable-debug
-gmake
-gmake install
-
-(On Linux, GNU make is the default make, and gmake in the above commands
-can be replaced with make).
-
-For Qt the magic sequence is:
-
-./configure -debug -shared -qt-gif -thread -sm -system-zlib -system-libpng -system-jpeg
-make
-
-Common problems
-===============
-
-Wrong Qt paths: 
-One of the biggest problems is picking up the correct version of Qt, 
-especially if your system has more version of Qt installed. Be aware 
-that information about library paths gets saved in the "config.cache" 
-file, "Makefile.in" as well as "Makefile" files. So it can be that after 
-some struggle to get QTDIR/TDEDIR setup correctly your setup is actually 
-correct, but old -incorrect- settings are still lying around.
-
-The best thing to do in such a case is to do a "svn-clean" (from tdesdk/scripts).
-This removes all files which aren't stored in the repository. You can then start all over 
-again with "makefile -f Makefile.cvs". Make sure you don't have any important 
-files lying around in your source tree any more, they will be deleted!
-
-New directories:
-When a new directory gets added to the repository it usually only contains a 
-Makefile.am but not a Makefile. If you try to compile such a directory
-you will get an error like:
-
-  Making all in management
-  make[3]: Entering directory /home/gregturp/KDE/tdelibs/tdeprint/management'
-  make[3]: *** No rule to make target all'.  Stop.
-  make[3]: Leaving directory /home/gregturp/KDE/tdelibs/tdeprint/management'
-  make[2]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
-  make[2]: Leaving directory /home/gregturp/KDE/tdelibs/tdeprint'
-  make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
-  make[1]: Leaving directory /home/gregturp/KDE/tdelibs'
-  make: *** [all-recursive-am] Error 2
-
-The solution is to redo "make -f Makefile.cvs; ./configure". 
-
-You can create a single Makefile from a Makefile.am file with the
-tdesdk/scripts/create_makefile script. Make sure to run it from the toplevel
-directory. (E.g. /home/gregturp/KDE/tdelibs)
-
-Problems?
-=========
-
-See http://www.kde.org/compilationfaq.html for common build problems
-and their solution.
-
-If you encounter _LINK_ problems you are probably doing something wrong.
-Do a "svn-clean" and start from scratch, usually this solves the problem.
-
-If you encounter missing include files, especially if the files start with
-a 'q', you probably have not setup your QTDIR correct or have the wrong 
-version of Qt.
-
-If you encounter compile errors after updating from SVN, check whether you 
-need to update tdelibs as well. If the problems persists, wait a few hours,
-usually compile errors are fixed shortly after they have been introduced.
-
-If you still have problems read the [email protected] mailinglist and/or
-post your problem there. You can subscribe by sending mail to
[email protected] with "subscribe" in the subject.
-
-Have fun!
