Hello.
I have attempted to load KDE with Fink and with the method described on
Darwin.org. Neither approach worked and, in the case or Fink, my
Powerbook was crunching away at the compiling task for hours before it
eventually bombed (the path did not appear to the compilation program to
include routes to 'make' and 'gmake' even though they were there).
1) Is there a straight-forward approach I (not a programmer, but can do
some shell scripting) to set up the environment for loading KDE cleanly
and efficiently?
2) Is there an alternative to either Fink or Darwin.org, ideally some
set of RPM files?
It takes a decent amount of setup to get KDE to compile nicely on Darwin.
If you don't want to compile, you can apt-get KDE 3.1.4 through Fink, or
if you go to http://fink.opendarwin.org/ there's an unofficial apt
repository that contains the KDE 3.2.0 binaries.
Those are the easiest ways to get it working.
However, if you have specific problems compiling, I'd appreciate a bug
report so that I can fix it for future users trying to build the Fink
packages. =)
It Works For Me(TM), so if it's not working on yours, there's a bug
lurking somewhere that needs fixing.
