I don't know the tools you talk about, but if they are mentionned in the book, why leave konstruct appart, then ? I've received the mail from Randy now, and I use this one to answer... Konstruct can have the same description as the one paraphrased by Randy. About writing a hint for konstruct, I don't know if this would be interesting.... In fact, I've been using it for at least two years or so, and one can't think of a more simple tool. The hint (if someone searches the archive of this list, he will find the hint here, it fits in a few lines) : untar the archive, and edit the gar.conf.mk, so as to check the installation directory of kde (prefix var), and you're done. Then, go in the kde subdir and just type in "make install". When everything's fine, it just take many hours to compile the whole KDE, but it does it automaticly. In a certain way, you probably get here what to do next to aLFS, don't you ? After that, you can choose another directory in the konstruct hierarchy to install koffice, k3b and so on. Just go into the desired directory and type in "make install". Anyway, thanks for your advices... Update... I was about to send this mail when I received your last one... I hope that everything you need is in there. Konstruct can be found here : http://developer.kde.org/build/konstruct/ As far as I know, it follows the developpement of kde, so if (for example) koffice is updated, konstruct-stable is updated accordingly... For the tool in itself and it's usage, everything is said in the doc, but as a summary, I'll just put this : - you can specify if QT is already installed on your system (HAVE_QT_INSTALLED = true) - you can specify a place where to put all the downloaded files (garchive_dir) and then instead of typing "make install", type "make garchive" so as to download everything required in that dir. Then the "make install" will use these files. That is all I've ever needed on my systems to install kde using this tool, when it worked ;-) ! > -- > Dan
