Thanks for your Nix expressions. Actually in my opinion the original KDE-4 are a bit ugly, for instance it uses non standard coding conventions and so on, but this is trivial to fix. I will have a look at it tomorrow.
I have some other ideas about KDE as well, such as a working KDM at bootup and working desktop items for applications installed in the user profile. -----Oorspronkelijk bericht----- Van: [email protected] namens Andrew Morsillo Verzonden: wo 11-2-2009 16:29 Aan: [email protected] Onderwerp: Re: [Nix-dev] kdepim-4.2.0 cmake_install Attached is a patch that will build everything in kde-4.2 except kdeedu. Note that all these expressions do is build kde-4.2 -- I have done nothing (mainly because I don't really know how) to integrate it into nixos or to get it running properly. The nix expressions are based on the old kde-4 ones from nixpkgs and I am not at all certain that they are correct. If anybody finds any problems or can think of better ways I might have done things please let me know so I can write better expressions in the future.
