The most recent 4.0.2 packages have the render extension compiled in as an
inbuilt module. It's already there for you. The required development stuff
that Qt will want to link to is in xlibs-dev.
Now, I haven't had the chane to play with it much, but I can't seem to get
the inbuilt module to automagically load as others have.
In your X startup log (in various places depending on how you start X), you
should see lines to the effect of "Inbuilt module RENDER loaded." If not, I
can't help you, 'cos I haven't figured that bit out.
If so, make the changes to XftConfig on KeithP's page and run:
xterm -fa "Trebuchet"
You may want to up the font size with -fs. If that works, you should only
need to compile Qt, and make sure KDE loads the correct set of libraries. In
Gnome I add /usr/local to the GNOME_PATH environment variable.
What troubles are you having compiling Qt, and can some of our KDE gurus
help out? (John?)
