<title>Installation of <application>kdelibs</application></title>

<para>Install <application>kdelibs</application> with:</para>
<screen><userinput><command>./configure --prefix=&kde-dir; --disable-debug \
    --disable-dependency-tracking --enable-fast-malloc=full --disable-pcre &amp;&amp;
make &amp;&amp;
make install</command></userinput></screen>

<note><para>If you wish to create the <acronym>API</acronym> documentation and 
you have <application>doxygen</application> and 
<application>Graphviz</application> installed, <command>make apidox</command> 
must be done before <command>make install</command>. This applies to all 
packages which can utilize <application>doxygen</application>.</para></note>

<sect2><title>Command explanations</title>
<para><parameter>--prefix=&kde-dir;</parameter> : This option tells the process 
to install the package in <filename class="directory">&kde-dir;</filename>.
</para>

<para><option>--disable-debug</option> : This option causes the
package to be compiled without debugging code.</para>

<para><option>--disable-dependency-tracking</option> : This option
speeds up one time builds.</para>

<para><parameter>--enable-fast-malloc=full</parameter> : This option tells

scheme optimized for <acronym>KDE</acronym>.</para>

<para><option>--disable-pcre</option> : Omit this switch if you have 
<application><acronym>PCRE</acronym></application> installed and you want 
improved regular expression support in the <acronym>KDE</acronym> JavaScript 
engine.</para>
