2. Installation

2.1 How to obtain KTsp

KTsp accompanies the book "Programming with KDE". It can also be found on KDE's FTP server ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/ or one of its countless mirrors. A list of mirrors is available at http://www.kde.org/mirrors.html

2.2 Requirements

KTsp needs KDE 1.1 (or any other 1.1.x version). At least, the KDE libraries (kdelibs) must be installed. For advanced features like session management, a fully functional KDE desktop has to be present (minimum: kdelibs + kdebase). KDE, like KTsp itself, can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/ or one of its mirrors.

2.3 Compilation and installation

KTsp can be compiled and installed easily due to the fact that it exploits autoconf:

% ./configure
% make
% make install

If your KDE is installed unusually you should try "./configure --help" for more options. Please report problems to the KDE mailing lists.
