Trying out F10 almost-preview (rawhide one day before preview release)

November 4, 2008 at 3:06 am (fedora, kde, linux) (, , , , , )

I just finished installing F10 Beta and updated it so it’s now almost-preview release (rawhide).  Just one word would describe it: Fantastic.  Much much better than F9.  I can’t believe the speed this thing is advancing.  Truely amazing.  The wallpaper is the first thing I noticed which is really nice.  And I haven’t noticed any other things as it has been only 5 minutes.  But this week I will try to compile kde svn on it, see how that goes.  I will most probably use some deps from opensuse (see previous posts).  Anyhow, I have to get going (to bed).  See you all later when I come with a list of deps for F10!!! :D

Building KDE from svn: using kdesvn-build

September 21, 2008 at 4:50 am (Uncategorized) (, , , , )

There are some things you have to be aware of when compiling KDE from svn with kdesvn-build. There has been some problems that I encountered when compiling kde, but I don’t clearly remember them, so I will suffice to the solution for now:

To use the current strigi library (the one you manually compiled with kdesupport), do this in the terminal:

$ export STRIGI_HOME=/home/$USER/kde/

remember that you have to do it after you have compiled kdesupport.

When building kdebase, make sure you remove soprano-devel. kdebase will mistakenly use the old soprano-devel rather than the one compiled with kdesupport.
