It provides necessary libraries for kdelibs. It will use the following optional packages, if installed: , , , and . ./configure --prefix=&kde-dir; --enable-objprelink \ --disable-debug --disable-dependency-tracking && make && make install && ln -sf &kde-dir; /opt/kde Another configure option is --enable-final. This option can speed up the build process, but requires a lot of memory. If you have less than 256MB of RAM, this option will cause swapping and significantly slow compilation. This option applies to all the kde packages. --prefix=&kde-dir;: This option tells the process to install the package in &kde-dir;. objprelink has been known to cause problems on some systems. If it does not work on your system you will have to rebuild kde without it. --enable-objprelink: This option enables the linking process to optimize executable loading times by prelinking many internal references. --disable-debug: This option causes the system to be compiled without debugging code. --disable-dependency-tracking: This option speeds up one time builds. ln -s &kde-dir; /opt/kde: This command creates a link for access to KDE. If a newer version of KDE is released, the new system can be built by changing the --prefix location and then set up by just changing the link. The library directory /opt/kde/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. The following command will add it if it is missing: cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF" # Begin kde addition to /etc/ld.so.conf /opt/kde/lib # End kde addition EOF ldconfig
