Yes, you definitely can run kde4 apps on kde3. Check out the techbase article at http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Increased_Productivity_in_KDE4_with_Scripts The new cd function is really class, which automatically changes the environment variables to that of KDE4 or kde3 based on the current directory. In short you need to set the following environment variables appropriately to execute kde4 apps. (which the cd function encapsulates) >From techbase ----------------------------------- This lists all the environment variables you should set, for instance in $KDESRC/4/.my-setup [edit] Qt export QTDIR=/d/qt/4/qt-copy export PATH=$QTDIR/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export PKG_CONFIG_PATH=$QTDIR/lib:$PKG_CONFIG_PATH [edit] KDE export KDEDIR=/d/kde/inst/kde4 export PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$PATH export LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH export QT_PLUGIN_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib/kde4/plugins export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR [edit] User export KDEHOME=$HOME/.kde4 [edit] Others export QTEST_COLORED=1 export KDE_COLOR_DEBUG ------------------------------------------------------------------- Hope that helps :) -- Cheers, Gopala Krishna A ------------------------------------------------------------------------- This SF.Net email is sponsored by the Moblin Your Move Developer's challenge Build the coolest Linux based applications with Moblin SDK & win great prizes Grand prize is a trip for two to an Open Source event anywhere in the world http://moblin-contest.org/redirect.php?banner_id=100&url=/ _______________________________________________ Ktechlab-devel mailing list Ktechlab-devel@lists.sourceforge.net https://lists.sourceforge.net/lists/listinfo/ktechlab-devel
