These are also included with +many Linux, BSD and Unix systems. + +You also need GNU make, and not your standard make. On many systems, +GNU make has been installed as "gmake" If this is your situation, +substitute "gmake" for every occurance of "make" in these +instructions. + +==================================================================== + +To save room in the distribution, the admin directory is not included +nor any of its included files. Before you can build the example, this +must be added. The simplest way is to copy one over from another KDE +package. + +==================================================================== + +The themes use the 'configure' script to attempt a reasonable and +correct configuration for compilation on your system. It creates an +appropriate 'Makefile' for each directory in this package, along with +one or more headerfiles containing system-dependent definitions. It +also creates 'config.status','config.cache' and 'config.log' files +that are useful for recreating or debugging the configuration. + +Sincerely, +David Johnson + +Example Installation in a Nutshell: +==================================== + +1) Type './configure' + +2) Type 'make' + +3) Type 'make install' + +Example Installation in More Detail: +===================================== + +0) Make sure that the prerequisite KDE 3.2 development libraries and +headers are installed first. These can be found at +<http://www.kde.org>. + +1) Unzip and untar the package into its own directory. Change into +this directory, and read the README file. (I'm assuming that +you've read this, the INSTALL file :-)) + +2) Type './configure --help", and peruse the configure options +available. It may be necessary to use one or more of these options +on your system. + +3) Type './configure' to configure the software for your system. If +you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need +to type `sh ./configure' instead. + +4) Type 'make' to compile the package. + +5) If you are not logged in as root, type 'su' and enter the root +password to switch over to the root account. This is not necessary +if you configured the software to install to your home directory/ + +6) Type 'make install' to install the software. + +7) Activate the styles, decorations and color schemes through the +KDE Control Center or the Preferences menu. + +8) You can uninstall the software by typing 'make uninstall'. + +A Note on the KDE Library +======================== + +If you are having problems configuring the software, first make sure +that the required KDE 3.0 or greater libraries are installed. Several +systems have broken this into several packages. You will need both +the runtime and the development packages. + +If you still have problems, set the KDEDIR environment variable and +the --prefix configure option to the location where you installed +KDE. Also makesure that you are using GNU make and not the standard +make everyone else uses. + +Rebuilding the Configuration +============================ + +If you ever need to rebuild the configuration files, type the +following in thebase directory of the distribution: + make -f Makefile.cvs + +You will need the current automake/autoconf set of programs. + |
