I looked everywhere I could for rpm's for KDE, so I desided to download
the gziped tarballs of KDE1.1 and compile them myself.
The base of KDE compiled without problems, just follow the instructions
on the INSTALL file and wait, and wait and wait.
I tried compiling and installing glib C once and that was quick in
comparison.
The only compilation problems I had was that KDE 1.1 works with a more
up to date Qt libary, and kfax. kfax had a probelm compiling, I dont
know what as I am just a newbie, only haveing used linux for a year.
Anyway, the make files are rearly good with kde, and you just need to
remove the name of the faulty app once from the make file (It only
occures once) this stops the neet recursive script from compiling that
directory. Once this is done the rest of the graphics packages installed
perfectly.
Was it worth it? Well KDE 1.1 looks better, it is generaly the same but
improved, I think if you can afford the time go ahead, but it is a big
down load.
