Compiling it is easy (provided one uses dlcompat, which is e.g. available via Fink). Using these in the Makefile: CFLAGS = -Wall -I/sw/include -Dsocklen_t=int LDFLAGS = -bundle -L/sw/lib I can't test it though (no proxy here :-), it's might not work this way. I.e. the dlopen might have to be changed to be like on other BSDs (see source code) etc. You need to experiemnt. >> >>>In the end I downloaded everything manually, using IE on Mac OS X, and >>>then installed with dpkg (with resolving every dependency manually, oh >>>boy, now I have the complete Fink on disk....) >> >> >>Errrrr...

Yeah I saw that. Besides some new features/bug fixes, it should be identical to our 1.1.14 package though (though we do include pstoraster and the cups fonts). >>We did link against cups in the past, but back then only cups >>1.1.10 was available in Fink and completly unusable, hence at my >>personal request cups support was disabled in KDE for the time >>being.

No of course not. But the point is, that's how we build the KDE packages. So if you want to build them differently, watch fink to see how it does it. Reading the Fink .info file format isn't hard either, and the .patch files are standard diff patch files. As for cups support, if you wait for benjamin, he might be releasing update package descriptions with cups re-enabled.
