Basic Installation
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
These are generic installation instructions.
|
||||
|
||||
The `configure' shell script attempts to guess correct values for
|
||||
various system-dependent variables used during compilation. It uses
|
||||
those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package.
|
||||
It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent
|
||||
definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that
|
||||
you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file
|
||||
`config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up
|
||||
reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output
|
||||
(useful mainly for debugging `configure').
|
||||
|
||||
If you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try
|
||||
to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them, and mail
|
||||
diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can
|
||||
be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache'
|
||||
contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it.
|
||||
|
||||
The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program
|
||||
called `autoconf'. You only need `configure.in' if you want to change
|
||||
it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
|
||||
|
||||
The simplest way to compile this package is:
|
||||
|
||||
1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
|
||||
`./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're
|
||||
using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
|
||||
`sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
|
||||
`configure' itself.
|
||||
|
||||
Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some
|
||||
messages telling which features it is checking for.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Type `make' to compile the package.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Optionally, type `make check' to run any self-tests that come with
|
||||
the package.
|
||||
|
||||
4. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
|
||||
documentation.
|
||||
|
||||
5. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
|
||||
source code directory by typing `make clean'. To also remove the
|
||||
files that `configure' created (so you can compile the package for
|
||||
a different kind of computer), type `make distclean'. There is
|
||||
also a `make maintainer-clean' target, but that is intended mainly
|
||||
for the package's developers. If you use it, you may have to get
|
||||
all sorts of other programs in order to regenerate files that came
|
||||
with the distribution.
|
||||
|
||||
Compilers and Options
|
||||
=====================
|
||||
|
||||
Some systems require unusual options for compilation or linking that
|
||||
the `configure' script does not know about. You can give `configure'
|
||||
initial values for variables by setting them in the environment. Using
|
||||
a Bourne-compatible shell, you can do that on the command line like
|
||||
this:
|
||||
CC=c89 CFLAGS=-O2 LIBS=-lposix ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
Or on systems that have the `env' program, you can do it like this:
|
||||
env CPPFLAGS=-I/usr/local/include LDFLAGS=-s ./configure
|
||||
|
||||
Compiling For Multiple Architectures
|
||||
====================================
|
||||
|
||||
You can compile the package for more than one kind of computer at the
|
||||
same time, by placing the object files for each architecture in their
|
||||
own directory. To do this, you must use a version of `make' that
|
||||
supports the `VPATH' variable, such as GNU `make'. `cd' to the
|
||||
directory where you want the object files and executables to go and run
|
||||
the `configure' script. `configure' automatically checks for the
|
||||
source code in the directory that `configure' is in and in `..'.
|
||||
|
||||
If you have to use a `make' that does not supports the `VPATH'
|
||||
variable, you have to compile the package for one architecture at a time
|
||||
in the source code directory. After you have installed the package for
|
||||
one architecture, use `make distclean' before reconfiguring for another
|
||||
architecture.
|
||||
|
||||
Installation Names
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
By default, `make install' will install the package's files in
|
||||
`/usr/local/kde/bin', `/usr/local/kde/lib', etc. You can specify an
|
||||
installation prefix other than `/usr/local/kde' by giving `configure'
|
||||
the option `--prefix=PATH'.
|
||||
|
||||
You can specify separate installation prefixes for
|
||||
architecture-specific files and architecture-independent files. If you
|
||||
give `configure' the option `--exec-prefix=PATH', the package will use
|
||||
PATH as the prefix for installing programs and libraries.
|
||||
Documentation and other data files will still use the regular prefix.
|
||||
|
||||
If the package supports it, you can cause programs to be installed
|
||||
with an extra prefix or suffix on their names by giving `configure' the
|
||||
option `--program-prefix=PREFIX' or `--program-suffix=SUFFIX'.
|
||||
|
||||
Optional Features
|
||||
=================
|
||||
|
||||
Some packages pay attention to `--enable-FEATURE' options to
|
||||
`configure', where FEATURE indicates an optional part of the package.
|
||||
They may also pay attention to `--with-PACKAGE' options, where PACKAGE
|
||||
is something like `gnu-as' or `x' (for the X Window System). The
|
||||
`README' should mention any `--enable-' and `--with-' options that the
|
||||
package recognizes.
|
||||
|
||||
For packages that use the X Window System, `configure' can usually
|
||||
find the X include and library files automatically, but if it doesn't,
|
||||
you can use the `configure' options `--x-includes=DIR' and
|
||||
`--x-libraries=DIR' to specify their locations.
|
||||
|
||||
Specifying the System Type
|
||||
==========================
|
||||
|
||||
There may be some features `configure' can not figure out
|
||||
automatically, but needs to determine by the type of host the package
|
||||
will run on. Usually `configure' can figure that out, but if it prints
|
||||
a message saying it can not guess the host type, give it the
|
||||
`--host=TYPE' option. TYPE can either be a short name for the system
|
||||
type, such as `sun4', or a canonical name with three fields:
|
||||
CPU-COMPANY-SYSTEM
|
||||
|
||||
See the file `config.sub' for the possible values of each field. If
|
||||
`config.sub' isn't included in this package, then this package doesn't
|
||||
need to know the host type.
|
||||
|
||||
If you are building compiler tools for cross-compiling, you can also
|
||||
use the `--target=TYPE' option to select the type of system they will
|
||||
produce code for and the `--build=TYPE' option to select the type of
|
||||
system on which you are compiling the package.
|
||||
|
||||
Sharing Defaults
|
||||
================
|
||||
|
||||
If you want to set default values for `configure' scripts to share,
|
||||
you can create a site shell script called `config.site' that gives
|
||||
default values for variables like `CC', `cache_file', and `prefix'.
|
||||
`configure' looks for `PREFIX/share/config.site' if it exists, then
|
||||
`PREFIX/etc/config.site' if it exists. Or, you can set the
|
||||
`CONFIG_SITE' environment variable to the location of the site script.
|
||||
A warning: not all `configure' scripts look for a site script.
|
||||
|
||||
Operation Controls
|
||||
==================
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' recognizes the following options to control how it
|
||||
operates.
|
||||
|
||||
`--cache-file=FILE'
|
||||
Use and save the results of the tests in FILE instead of
|
||||
`./config.cache'. Set FILE to `/dev/null' to disable caching, for
|
||||
debugging `configure'.
|
||||
|
||||
`--help'
|
||||
Print a summary of the options to `configure', and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
`--quiet'
|
||||
`--silent'
|
||||
`-q'
|
||||
Do not print messages saying which checks are being made.
|
||||
|
||||
`--srcdir=DIR'
|
||||
Look for the package's source code in directory DIR. Usually
|
||||
`configure' can determine that directory automatically.
|
||||
|
||||
`--version'
|
||||
Print the version of Autoconf used to generate the `configure'
|
||||
script, and exit.
|
||||
|
||||
`configure' also accepts some other, not widely useful, options.
|
||||
|
||||
mathemagics relies on cmake to build.
|
||||
|
||||
Here are suggested default options:
|
||||
|
||||
-DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX="/opt/trinity" \
|
||||
-DCONFIG_INSTALL_DIR="/etc/trinity" \
|
||||
-DSYSCONF_INSTALL_DIR="/etc/trinity" \

What is kdenonbeta?
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||
|
||||
This package contains software modules that are considered by their
|
||||
authors preceding beta stage, hence "nonbeta" (which means "alpha at
|
||||
best"), and are not normally released. The programs and libraries that
|
||||
are developed here are sometimes moved to official release packages
|
||||
(like tdegraphics) as the program or library matures to a sufficiently
|
||||
stable state. Beware that some of the programs are not maintained or
|
||||
may be suffering bit rot.

||||
mathemagics - a RPN scientific calculator for TDE.
|
||||
|
||||
This place is also touted as a place for free collaborative development of
|
||||
KDE related software.
|
||||
|
||||
Mathemagics makes use of the Reverse Polish Notation or RPN.
|
||||
Mathemagics can store and use user-defined functions and variables, It
|
||||
comes with large number of built-in functions as well.

Building kdenonbeta
|
||||
-------------------
|
||||

|
||||
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea
|
||||
|
||||
kdenonbeta is fairly large, at around 170 Mbytes of source code. That
|
||||
much code in active development means that it is unlikely all of
|
||||
kdenonbeta will compile and work at once. You probably don't want to
|
||||
build all of kdenonbeta - pick the bits you are interested in and just
|
||||
build that.
|
||||
|
||||
There are a number of ways to manage the build process:
|
||||
|
||||
1. Only checkout what you need. If you use a sequence like
|
||||
cvs co -l kdenonbeta
|
||||
cd kdenonbeta
|
||||
cvs co admin (or ln -s ../kde-common/admin ./admin)
|
||||
cvs up <subdir>
|
||||
you will only get the active directories. This is a good idea in terms
|
||||
of build time, and also on load on the CVS servers.
|
||||
|
||||
2. Create a file called inst-apps in the toplevel directory to compile
|
||||
modules you want. The file should contain each module name on a
|
||||
separate line, like:
|
||||
konversation
|
||||
kttsd
|
||||
Then do your make -f Makefile.cvs && ./configure etc.
|
||||
|
||||
3. Exclude the modules you don't want, by adding them to the
|
||||
DO_NOT_COMPILE variable. For example, if you want to exclude
|
||||
dcopbindings, then edit dcopbindings/configure.in.in to include the
|
||||
line:
|
||||
DO_NOT_COMPILE="$DO_NOT_COMPILE dcopbindings"
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Using kdenonbeta
|
||||
---------------
|
||||
|
||||
The package uses the standard autoconf/automake based KDE build system. To
|
||||
add a new module to the build, create a subdirectory with your code and then
|
||||
say "make -f Makefile.cvs".
|
||||
|
||||
Don't forget to add your new subdirectory to the INDEX file.
