The instructions Macports gives you whenever you install a KDE module appear to be incorrect and misleading, so please can they be changed? When I followed them, I got an error message and not a single KDE app would run.
Eventually I found and followed some instructions for DBus at: http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Mac_OS_X/MacPorts#Installing_the_base_requirements which worked. These will get DBus to run whenever the Mac is booted. An alternative is given in: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-mac/2011-June/000752.html which presumably starts DBus as the local user rather than root. I have also added kdeinit4 to Mac OS X's SystemSettings->Accounts->My Account->Login Items, so now my Macbook is ready to run KDE apps as soon as it has started up. I wrote to kde-mac@kde-org mailing list about the DBus problem. See threads: http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-mac/2011-June/000746.html http://mail.kde.org/pipermail/kde-mac/2011-June/000747.html On that list, John Layt has offered to review and revise the pages re Mac, Macports and KDE whenever he has time. So far, he has started a new page at http://community.kde.org/Mac?id=build which outlines the present state of affairs. There was a page http://mac.kde.org/?id=build which contained the same outdated KDE instructions as Macport has, but John Layt has had it discontinued and re-routed to http://community.kde.org/Mac?id=build (the new page mentioned above). I do not know what the best set of KDE instructions for Macports would be (I am new to the Macbook), so maybe you could talk to the guys at kde-mac. Maybe it would also be an idea to include in the Macports Guide a small section on installing KDE. Meanwhile, I am hugely enjoying running the KDE games on Macbook and would like to start fine-tuning some of them to run a little better in Mac OS X, using Macports as a base KDE installation. Also, thanks to Macports, I am able to carry on using KMyMoney to keep track of my finances on the Macbook. All the best, Ian W. KDE Games developer, Melbourne, Australia.
