24 kdelibs rebuild takes quite some time, so if you need i'll post my env
25 files:
26 this is /etc/env.d/45kdepaths-3.5:
27
28 PATH=/usr/kde/3.5/bin
29 ROOTPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/sbin:/usr/kde/3.5/bin
30 LDPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/lib:/usr/kde/3.5/lib64:/usr/kde/3.5/lib32
31 MANPATH=/usr/kde/3.5/share/man
32 CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/kde/3.5/share/config /usr/kde/3.5/env
33 /usr/kde/3.5/shutdown /usr/share/config"
34 KDEDIRS="/usr:/usr/local:/usr/kde/3.5"
35 #KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1
36 XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share:/usr/kde/3.5/share:/usr/local/share"
37 COLON_SEPARATED="XDG_DATA_DIRS"
38
39 and this is:
40
41 43kdepaths-kde-svn:
42
43 PATH="/usr/kde/svn/bin"
44 ROOTPATH="/usr/kde/svn/sbin:/usr/kde/svn/bin"
45 LDPATH="/usr/kde/svn/lib:/usr/kde/svn/lib64:/usr/kde/svn/lib32"
46 MANPATH="/usr/kde/svn/share/man"
47 CONFIG_PROTECT="/usr/kde/svn/share/config /usr/kde/svn/env
48 /usr/kde/svn/shutdown /usr/share/config"
49 KDEDIRS="/usr:/usr/local:/usr/kde/svn"
50 #KDE_IS_PRELINKED=1
51 XDG_DATA_DIRS="/usr/share:/usr/kde/svn/share:/usr/local/share"
52 COLON_SEPARATED="XDG_DATA_DIRS"
53
54 of course, if you're using the portage kde 4.0.x you'll need to modify svn
55 into 4.0. and manually verify the corectness of all the dirs.
