<h1>KDE Support In Fink</h1>
<p>
- The Fink team is happy to announce support for
- <a href="http://www.kde.org/";>KDE</a> on
- <a href="http://www.apple.com/macosx/";>MacOS X</a>.
-</p>
-<p>
- To find out more about the K Desktop Environment, see
- <a href="http://www.kde.org/whatiskde/index.html";>What is KDE?</a>
- at the KDE web site.

- Work has been progressing steadily on getting KDE 3.0.x ported to
- run in XFree86 on MacOS X. Packages and pre-built binaries are now
- available for users interested in running KDE on MacOS X via Fink.
-</p>
-<p>
- There are a large number of issues remaining before the port is truly
- complete, but the vast majority of KDE builds and runs just fine.
- The work-in-progress KDE source tree is being graciously hosted by the
- folks at <a href="http://www.opendarwin.org/";>OpenDarwin</a>. More info
- on our progress and things that need to be done are regularly updated
- in the <a
href="http://www.opendarwin.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb.cgi/proj/KDE-Darwin/README.Darwin?rev=HEAD&content-type=text/x-cvsweb-markup";>README.Darwin</a>
- file available at the top of the KDE-Darwin tree.

-<h1>What's New?</h1>
-<p class="attention">
- The current Fink binary dist of KDE is 3.0.2. <br>
- The current Fink source dist of KDE is 3.0.2.
-</p>
-<p>
- New in the 3.0.2 release of the KDE fink packages is a number of
- cleanups in package dependencies, and the kio-kmd package. Also note that
- kdebindings depends on mozilla, which is now only available in crypto, so
- kdebindings has been moved there as well. You will need to remove it, or
- add the crypto tree to your configuration to upgrade.
-</p>
-
-<h1>Upgrading Fink KDE</h1>
-
-<p class="attention">
- If you are upgrading from the previous
- release of the Fink KDE packages, read this carefully.
-</p>
-<p>
- The initial KDE packages exposed a bug in the xfree86-base package that was
- in Fink unstable that required users of the KDE binaries to upgrade to the
- xfree86-base package from Fink (rather than using XDarwin or an older
- XFree86 4.2 release). This has been fixed in the latest packages. If
- you have already installed KDE from the fink binary release,
- <strong>please</strong> run the following set of commands to upgrade:
-</p>
-<p>
- <nobr><b><tt>sudo apt-get update; sudo apt-get dist-upgrade</tt></b></nobr>
-</p>
-<p>
-Note that you will need to do a "dist-upgrade", and not just an "upgrade",
-because there are new dependencies (CUPS, among other things).
-</p>
-
-<h1>Before You Start -- Getting XFree86</h1>
-<p>
- <strong>Be sure you know which XFree86 server you will be using!</strong>
+ KDE support in Fink is reaching maturity, and there isn't much reason
+ to refer to this page for special notes on installing it anymore.
</p>
-<ul>
- <li>
- <p> If you already have XDarwin installed from another source (XonX, hand-built, or
- any number of other places), install the "<b>system-xfree86</b>" package, so that
- fink knows you already have a set of XFree86 libraries and an X server. </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p> If you are planning on using OroborOSX, you will still need the XFree86
libraries,
- and so we suggest you install "<b>xfree86-base</b>" along side your OroborOSX X
- server. </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p> If you have no XFree86 server installed at all, install
- "<b>xfree86-rootless</b>". </p>
- </li>
-</ul>

-<h1>Installing KDE On Fink</h1>
+<h1>Installation</h1>
<p>
- First, make sure you are comfortable with the instructions on
- building and/or installing packages in the <a
- href="http://fink.sourceforge.net/doc/users-guide/index.php";>Fink User's Guide</a>.
- <font color="#ff0000">This is TFM! If you get on the discussion list or IRC and ask
- a question that is already in the documentation, you are likely going to get pointed
- here. Please read the documentation before asking questions.</font>
+ To install all of KDE, install either the <em>bundle-kde-ssl</em> or
+ <em>bundle-kde</em> (if the law restricts the use of OpenSSL strong
+ cryptography in your country) packages.
</p>
<p>
- There are two ways to install the KDE packages via Fink:
+ For instructions on configuring or removing the KDE packages, the
+ instructions in '<em>fink info bundle-kde</em>' should give you everything
+ you need to know. To see a list of available KDE packages, see the
+ <a href="http://fink.sf/net/pdb/section.php/kde";>KDE section of the
+ package database</a>.
</p>
-<ul>
- <li>
- <p>
- <strong>
- Install from source packages in the unstable tree.
- </strong>
- </p>
- <p>
- First of all, make sure you have the unstable distribution enabled in your fink
- configuration. If you used the defaults when installing fink, just:
- </p>
- <p>
- <ol>
- <li> <p><strong> Add the unstable tree(s) to your /sw/etc/fink.conf.
</strong></p>
- <p> Add <b>"unstable/main"</b> (without the quotes) to the "<b>Trees:</b>"
- line in fink.conf. If US export laws allow it, you can add
- <b>"unstable/crypto"</b> as well (required for HTTPS support in the Konqueror
- browser). </p> </li>
- <li> <p><strong> Update your package index. </strong></p>
- <p>Run "<b><tt>fink selfupdate-cvs</tt></b>" in a terminal window to get the
- latest package descriptions from the fink site. If this is your first time
- running it, it may ask you some questions. If you don't know what to answer,
- the defaults are perfectly safe. </p> </li>
- <li> <p><strong> Install KDE. </strong></p>
- <p> First, install the XFree86 server you decided to use in the <b>Before
- You Start</b> section above, using "<b><tt>fink install
- <your_choice></tt></b>". </p>
- <p> Then, if you want to install the base KDE system, run "<b><tt>fink install
- kdebase3</tt></b>" (or, if you have crypto support, "<b><tt>fink install
- kdebase3-ssl</tt></b>"). If you want to build all of the official KDE
- distribution that has been ported, there is a convenience package that
- will build everything for you. Just run "<b><tt>fink install
- bundle-kde</tt></b>" (or "<b><tt>fink install bundle-kde-ssl</tt></b>").
- </p> </li>
- <li> <p><strong> Wait. A long, long time. </strong></p>
- <p> Seriously, building all of bundle-kde from scratch took over 24 hours
- on a G4/800 with 640MB RAM. This is not a small project to build -- if
- you really want to build from source, be prepared to spend some time
- doing something other than using your computer. :) </p> </li>
- </ol>
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>
- <strong>
- Install from pre-build binary packages with apt or dselect.
- </strong>
- </p>
- <ol>
- <li>
- <p>First add the following line to your <i>/sw/etc/apt/sources.list</i> file:</p>
- <p>
- <nobr><b><tt>deb http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download fink-kde
main</tt></b></nobr>
- </p>
- <p>If export laws in the US allow exporting strong cryptography to your country,
- you can instead use this line which will allow you (besides other things) to access
- secure web pages in konqueror:
- </p>
- <p>
- <nobr><b><tt>deb http://us.dl.sourceforge.net/fink/direct_download fink-kde
main crypto</tt></b></nobr>
- </p>
- </li>
- <li>
- <p>Next, update your package cache by running <b><tt>sudo apt-get update</tt></b>.
This
- will update the local list of all available binary packages.</p>
- </li>
- <li>
- If all went well, you should now be able to install any of the KDE packages. First,
- install the XFree86 server you decided to use in the <b>Before You Start</b>
section
- above, using "<b><tt>sudo apt-get install <your_choice></tt></b>". Then, to
- install everything up to the the base set of packages required to run KDE
- apps, run "<b><tt>sudo apt-get install kdebase3</tt></b>" (or
- "<b><tt>sudo apt-get install kdebase3-ssl</tt></b>" if you enabled crypto support
in step 1).
- If you want to install all of the official KDE packages that have been
- ported so far, run "<b><tt>sudo apt-get install bundle-kde</tt></b>" (or
- "<b><tt>sudo apt-get install bundle-kde-ssl</tt></b>"). Alternatively
- you can also select and install individual packages via the <b><tt>dselect</tt></b>
- command in an interactive fashion.
- </li>
- </ol>
- </li>
-</ul>
-<h1>Running KDE</h1>
-<p>
- To start the KDE environment on MacOS X, all you need to do is make an
- <b><tt>~/.xinitrc</tt></b> file with the following line in it:
-</p>
-<p>
- <nobr><b><tt>source /sw/bin/init.sh</tt></b></nobr><br />
- <nobr><b><tt>/sw/bin/startkde</tt></b></nobr>
-</p>
-<p>
- (Note that you should always use init.sh, even if tcsh is your login shell. The
- .xinitrc file is a bourne-shell script.)
-</p>
-<p>
- Then just start XFree86 (by running the <b>XDarwin</b> application in your
- "Applications" folder) and KDE should come up. Dynamic loading in KDE is still
- pretty slow at the moment, so there are usually noticeable pauses in the amount
- of time KDE apps can take to start up if a library they use has not been loaded
before.
-</p>
-<p>
- If you have problems starting, try changing your startkde line to:
-</p>
-<p>
- <nobr><b><tt>/sw/bin/startkde >/tmp/kde.log 2>&1</tt></b></nobr>
-</p>
-<p>
- ...and then check <b>/tmp/kde.log</b> for errors.
-</p>
-<p>
- <b>Tip</b>: to run KDE in rootless mode, disable desktop icons by starting the
- "Control Center" app, then going to "Desktop" and unchecking "Enable Icons on
Desktop".
-</p>
