%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ Libmcs The libmcs package is a library and set of tools which abstract the storage of configuration settings away from userland applications. There are similar projects like this (such as GConf), but unlike those projects, libmcs strictly handles abstraction. It does not impose any specific data storage requirement, nor is it tied to any desktop environment or software suite. Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &libmcs-md5sum; Download size: &libmcs-size; Estimated disk space required: &libmcs-buildsize; Estimated build time: &libmcs-time; libmcs Dependencies Required Optional and User Notes: Install libmcs by running the following commands: ./configure --prefix=/usr && make This package does not come with a test suite. Now, as the root user: make install && install -v -m644 -D README /usr/share/doc/libmcs-&libmcs-version;/README --with-qt-path=/usr/share/qt: If you have installed, you must pass additional parameters to the configure script to identify the location of Qt and, possibly, KDE libraries and interface headers. --disable-kconfig: If configure finds libkdecore from kdelibs, it does not test to check it is indeed the kde3 version and will try to use it (and fail if it is the kde4 version). This switch will prevent that. For additional information about the various storage backends (including the default XDG-compliant backend), see the README file in the source tree. There are various ways to configure libmcs to use a specific backend on a site-wide or individual user basis. If the default file-based storage backend is suitable, no configuration steps are required. See section 2 of the README file in the source tree for details.
