2. Installation

2.1 How to obtain Kscd

Kscd is an application for the KDE project http://www.kde.org. Kscd can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/, the main ftp site of the KDE project.

2.2 Requirements

In order to successfully compile Kscd, you need the latest versions of libkdecore and libkdeui. All required libraries as well as Kscd itself can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/.

2.3 Compilation and installation

In order to compile and install Kscd on your system, type the following in the base directory of the Kscd distribution:

% ./configure

If you are experiencing trouble getting kscd to work on a non-Linux platform please study the original Workman documentation in the docs directory of the kscd distribution. They contain quite a bit of information and may prove to be very helpful. The original makefiles are in the makefiles subdirectory and should also be of interest in case of trouble.

Please inform me of any modification you had to undertake to the current distribution in order to get things to work on your platform. I will then include those changes in future versions of kscd.

% make

This will start the KSCD configuration script. Please choose your platform and answer the questions posed. The configuration script will create the file "config.h" in the kscd directory. If you should experience problems with the script you can rename the file "config.h.std" to "config.h" and edit it to suit your platform.

% make install

Again: Should you run into problems, please report them to me.
