%general-entities; ]> $LastChangedBy$ $Date$ kde4workspace The Kde-workspace package contains components that are central to providing the KDE4 desktop environment. Of particular importance are KWin, the KDE4 window manager, and Plasma, which provides the workspace interface. &lfs70_checked; Package Information Download (HTTP): Download (FTP): Download MD5 sum: &kde4workspace-md5sum; Download size: &kde4workspace-size; Estimated disk space required: &kde4workspace-buildsize; Estimated build time: &kde4workspace-time; Kde-workspace Dependencies Required and Recommended , , , and , Optional , , , lm-sensors, GoogleGadgets, Prison, libraw1394, gpsd, XMMS and Qalculate! User Notes: Install Kde4-workspace by running the following commands: mkdir build && cd build && cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$KDE4_PREFIX \ -DKDE_DEFAULT_HOME=.kde4 \ -DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR=/etc/kde4 \ .. && make Now, as the root user: make install Installed Programs Installed Libraries Installed Directories genkdmconf, kaccess, kapplymousetheme, kblankscrn.kss, kcheckrunning, kcminit, kcminit_startup, kdm, kdmctl, kdostartupconfig4, kfontview, kfontinst, kinfocenter, klipper, kmenuedit, krandom.kss, krandrtray, krunner, ksmserver, ksplashqml, ksplashsimple, ksplashx, ksplashx_scale, kstartupconfig4, ksysguard, ksysguardd, ksystraycmd, kwin, kwrited, oxygen-demo, oxygen-settings, oxygen-shadow-demo, plasma-desktop, plasmaengineexplorer, plasmawallpaperviewer, plasma-windowed, plasmoidviewer, solid-network, solid-action-desktop-gen, startkde and systemsettings several in $KDE4_PREFIX/lib several in /etc/kde4, $KDE4_PREFIX/include and $KDE4_PREFIX/share After Kde-workspace has finished, the first important milestone has been reached. Now you can start KDE4. Modify your .xinitrc: cat > ~/.xinitrc <<EOF # Begin .xinitrc file #setxkbmap -layout de -model pc105 -variant nodeadkeys setxkbmap -layout de -model pc105 # ## Start TWM #xterm -g 80x40+0+0 & #xclock -g 100x100-0+0 & #twm # Start KDE exec dbus-launch --exit-with-session startkde #startkde EOF Tweak this file to match your needs, especially setting the keyboard layout if you do not have a /etc/X11/xorg.conf. If you are using ConsoleKit, add ck-launch-session before dbus-launch. Every subsequent package can be built while having KDE4 up and running, but remember to keep &kde4-dir; and $QT4DIR set.
