I suggest you to develop your own applications with your own KDE build, that's how (almost) all KDE hackers work. OTOH, you can have a debianized kde base system and be able to compile apps locally. You can install your applications to /usr/local rather easily making use of KDEDIRS environment variable (which must be set prior to starting KDE of course). I maintain both a /usr/local (for KDE 2 apps) and /usr/local/kde3 for my KDE3 coding. However, the best is to develop for KDE3, and then write a simple packaging script for debian so installing it on a debian system is a snap. Thanks, - -- Eray Ozkural (exa) <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Comp.
