Hi
I have been running Mandriva since before mandrake 8.
1st question ... what is the app, is the src in a .mdk package? If so,
install the pkg as per normal, it will go into /usr/src/whatever.
If it is a tar or similar pkg unpack it to /usr/src/... Konqueror is
excellent for this. Open 2 panels, unpack in 1 panel, goto usr/src in
the 2nd panel, then drag n drop the appropriate dir across.
From there it is a normal compile but test before you install. You will
need the src package for your kernel installed before you compile. If
the compile bombs there may be other pkgs you need to install also.

Do we have any Mandriva experts on the list?
I have some questions about how to install a source package and do a custom
build, but thought I'd check first if there is someone here who can help me.
