Trying out F10 almost-preview (rawhide one day before preview release)
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!!!
Building KDE from svn: using kdesvn-build
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.
