Software requirements

Since building a KDE project is a thing that (usually) only C++/KDE developers do, you need some developers software. But don't worry, these programs should be included in your distribution, and maybe, they are allready installed.
I have packed here a list of what you may need. Please note, that these packages could have other (similar) names, and that in some cases, the project will also compile if _not_ all of this stoff is installed.
  • autoconf -- Autoconf tools (important)
  • automake -- Automake tools (important)
  • egcs -- The egcs-c-compiler (important)
  • flex (or lex)
  • gcc -- The GNU c compiler (should allready be installed)
  • gpp -- The GNU c++ compiler (important)
  • gpp-libs -- The GNU c++ libraries (important)
  • make -- GNU make (should allready be installed)
  • qt-dev -- The QT developer files
  • kde-dev -- The KDE developer files
  • All these files should be packed in a section called "devel" or something like that. If you have allready installed (and compiled) KDE programs you got in the source code, then you're nearly done: Everything is installed, excepted the "autoconf" and "automake" tools.

    Have fun
