If you cannot obtain a suitable precompiled binary package, you
need to compile yourself from source files. Get the source
package file kdepim-x.x.tar.bz2
or
kalarm-x.x.tar.bz2
(or similar), depending on
whether you want to install kdepim or just . Unpack it in a
new folder using a command similar to
tar
, and
change to the folder which has been created.xvfj
package.tar.bz2
If you have more than one version of installed
(e.g. 2 and 3), this may possibly install into
the wrong folder. If necessary, you can give the folder
as a parameter to
./configure
. For example,
if your is installed in /opt/kde2
:
./configure --prefix=
/opt/kde2
If you install into a folder different from
where is installed, it will not run correctly unless you make
its location known to . To do this, you must prefix the
KDEDIRS
environment variable with 's location,
each time before you start .
For example, if is installed in
/opt/kde
, KDEDIRS
might normally
be set to /etc/opt/kde:/opt/kde
. If you install
into /usr/local
, you would need to set
KDEDIRS
to
/usr/local:/etc/opt/kde:/opt/kde
before starting
.
The standalone version of has a special configuration
option which allows you to select which languages documentation is to
be installed for by specifying a language code, or a list of language
codes, as a parameter to ./configure. By default,
documentation in all available languages is installed. A list of
documentation languages included in the package, together with their
codes, is in the DOC-LANGUAGES
file. For example,
to install only French and British English documentation:
./configure --enable-doc-language=
"fr en_GB"
Note that this option has no effect on which user interface translations are installed.
