KDE-1.1Pre2 on a hamm system (report)
Hello, if someone is interested in, I just succeeded installing the KDE-1.1Pre2 debian packages from the kde.org server on a mostly pure Hamm system. Here's a list of what needed to be done on my machine: - kdebase depends on the following packages that need to be upgraded manually: o qt-1.42: Sources fetched from potato and compiled on my machine using dpkg-buildpackage. Be sure the following _hamm_ packages are installed (beside some standard -dev packages): mesag2 2.6-3 A 3-D graphics library which uses the OpenGL mesag2-dev 2.6-3 Development library for Mesa [libc6]. gltt1 1.7-3 library to read and draw TrueType fonts in O gltt1-dev 1.7-3 development kit for gltt o libjpeg62: Fetching the Slink binary does not work due to wrong libc6 version. But building a debian binary from the slink source can easily be done using dpkg-buildpackage. o libncurses4: Same as for libjpeg62. The sources are in the libs section not in the base section. I recognized no conflicts with the hamm curses packages after installation. o zlib1: kdebase depends on version 1.1.3 which must be compiled as well. Be sure to use the sources from the oldlibs section not from the libs section where only 1.1.2 can be found. This version also includes some libc5 packages which need an old gcc version. I fixed this by not using dpkg-buildpackage but debian/rules binary-zlibg after removing some dependencies in the rules file. - After all the kde packages could easily be installed. But I removed them soon afterwards, cause my whole system stopped (even the kernel, no ping response from externel) each time I logged out. Guess these are some pci problems triggered by kde. Has anyone else seen this (kernel version is 2.0.34) ? Peter P.S. It's possible easier compiling kde from scratch and installing it in the /usr/local tree. -- -- Peter Weiss, Adejeweg 20, D-Unterhaching, Tel: 089/ 61029803 -- ---The foolish ones taught more to me than the wise ones ever could--- --

I'm really looking 4ward to be able to install a newer and better version of KDE. I used KDE 1.0 but too much seemed incomplete and the speed wasn't the best at the time. Not to mention that i have more memory now. Just be sure to announce the packages properly here when they are comlete.

Hola a todos: I am currently running KDE 1.0 and it is fine for me. I want to upgrade to 1.1pre2 and I'd like to get corresponding .deb packages.

KDE 1.1pre2
-BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE- Hey all. KDE 1.1pre2 was released the other day, and I have begun constructing Debian packages of it. If anybody out there is interested, I will make them available for download. I have constructed packages for the basic KDE installation, kdeutil, and kdeadmin. I'm working on kdenetwork now, but there's a problem with one of the Makefiles that I'll need to fix first. I'll make more packages soon. If you're currently running KDE 1.0 or one of the old beta versions, then you DEFINITELY want to upgrade. 1.1 is much nicer than previous versions in all respects, especially performance. Everything is much snappier than before and looks more professional. I haven't been using KDE much lately, because I love the NextStep look feel that I get with Window Maker and friends, but KDE 1.1 has got me really psyched. I definitely suggest taking a look at all this stuff. Incedentally, if you're thinking about building KDE for yourself, the kdebase package alone took 45 minutes to compile on my 200MHz K6 w/32 MB RAM. It's quite a task. noah PGP public key available at http://lynx.dac.neu.edu/home/httpd/n/nmeyerha/mail.html or by 'finger -l [EMAIL PROTECTED]' This message was composed in a 100% Microsoft free environment. -BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE- Version: 2.6.2 iQCVAwUBNq+fEYdCcpBjGWoFAQEyGgP/cO4pQPg8McmOcAKEcat15RsNn8f2HoMj SWtfxnR8i20dlN9+p1Z0tmuIcMLIx9YoGOsUa8EKMtgB/fAy9Kuuun8IKnrSm2xA WybyW7JcvZCzcjugnYzpr6whOBnzzHXT1KW8q5oYutnx/EgmENCAENly4CVtpM45 T2NFgLZV/HE= =ysT7 -END PGP SIGNATURE-
