Hi... I've installed FreeBSD 4.2 and I'm trying to get KDE 2.1 up and running. In /usr/ports/x11/kde2 I see a Makefile that refers to an early version of KDE2 (which would have been current around the time 4.2 was released). So I went to http://www.freebsd.org/ports and downloaded the "KDE 2.1" Makefile and replaced the old "KDE 2.0" Makefile with it. I guessed (perhaps incorrectly?) that as a "meta-port" this new Makefile would grab all the appropriate components of 2.1 and build them accordingly. Instead, what I seem to have wound up with is (at least partly) the early "2.0 pre". Among other things, Konqueror doesn't launch and I have to Alt-Ctrl-Bksp to exit from KDE. So...my questions are: 1. What should I be doing to build KDE 2.1 correctly? 2. Is there yet a port for KDE 2.1.1? (Is one likely to be posted?) 3. I understand there is a way to refresh the ports collection after you've installed. Is the reason I've built a "2.0 pre" version because I only changed the top-level KDE2 Makefile in an otherwise stock 4.2 ports collection? 4. Building KDE 2.0 pre took about 14 hours on a PIII 500Mhz system. Is that typical? Thank you for any advice you can offer.
