Why don't you use the KDE port (in /usr/ports/graphics/kde if I
remember ...) ?
I compiled KDE last week-end from the port and all went **very** fine
(execpt kde multimedia, but this seems broken ...)

Hey Everyone, I'm back again..........
I finally got the correct files for KDE and unTARred them in the
directories, the files that someone suggested I download was the Source so I
downloaded the Source and got the stuff unTarballed as I said a minute ago
an then I found I need a package called QT so I toddle down to www.troll.no
and downloaded the free QT-1.33 package and installed it, sounds good so far
doesn't it ?? Wrong........
When I install the QT Package and type make in the directory it's in at
chuggs happily along for a few seconds and then gives up with some Errors
like it can't find files like qarray.h or somethin, the files are there
usually in ./src/widgets or whatever, i've tried putting these into the path
variable but that doesn't help, I've tried following the instructions in
ftp://ftp.troll.no/qt/source/INSTALL which also gives up on the MAKE thing.
I thought I could be intelligent and try instal the KDE with the SOURCE of
QT and not the BINARIES, dumb idea, it doesn't work, when I run ./configure
from the KDEbase dir if gives up and says that I don't have the QT headers
and includes needed, when I try ./configure --with-qt-dir it gets further
and tells me to try again with another prefix, can anyone help, all I want
is to get the god-damned KDE so I can replace my boring old Window Manager
(wm2 BTW).
Also, when I try to unTarball the KDESUPPORT file it keep telling me that it
can't create files and give wacky errors like 'can't create
kdesupport/makefile.am no a directory' and crap like that, when I then try
mkdir ./kdesupport or mkdir kdesupport or mkdir /fat16/kde/kdesupport {that's
the full path} it gives an error saying can't create, file already
exists........
Come on you so-called FreeBSD geniuses, prove yourself....... Get your
brains in gear......
