Hi all, |
2 |
|
3 |
Right now, with the "multi-kdelibs scheme", to compile a KDE app you need to |
4 |
do: |
5 |
--- |
6 |
export KDEDIR=/usr/lib/kdelibs-$ver |
7 |
./configure --prefix=/usr[/local] |
8 |
--- |
9 |
(/usr/local being recommended for manually compiled apps) |
10 |
Also, kdevelop requires a correct KDEDIR setting (like the one above) to run |
11 |
configure scripts. |
12 |
|
13 |
I want to put this KDEDIR setting into /etc/env.d. This may cause people who |
14 |
don't read the above instructions to run configure without parameters, and |
15 |
their app will then install into KDEDIR=/usr/lib/kdelibs-* which is bad. They |
16 |
won't be expecting that because /usr/local is the default, but KDEDIR |
17 |
overrides it in this case. |
18 |
|
19 |
So, this needs to be put somewhere where many people will see it - a FAQ item |
20 |
probably, but most people don't read the FAQs until they have a problem. |
21 |
|
22 |
Suggestions? Where should this go? |
