In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk X-Loop: FreeBSD.ORG All this trouble compiling KDE 2.0.1 is wierd. I cvsupped the ports tree to make sure I was up-to-date, and then just went to /usr/ports/x11/kde2 and typed: make when that was done, I typed make install Everything compiled and worked fine, except kdesu which has some problems, there is a screensaver problem where when you're changing settings, some processes don't get killed correctly which leads to you getting locked out of your desktop, the logout button doesn't work from the panel or from right-clicking the desktop, the sysguard app isn't ported to FreeBSD's kvm stuff, the system monitor applet also isn't converted to FreeBSD's kvm stuff... and certain random seg-faults occur. But even with the size of my list of bugs and such, most of them have nothing to do with FreeBSD ... they are X and KDE bugs. ================================================================= | Kenneth Culver | FreeBSD: The best NT upgrade | | Unix Systems Administrator | ICQ #: 24767726 | | and student at The | AIM: muythaibxr | | The University of Maryland, | Website: (Under Construction) | | College Park. | http://www.wam.umd.edu/~culverk/| ================================================================= On Thu, 21 Dec 2000, Drew Tomlinson wrote: > > -----Original Message----- > > From: Bjarne Wichmann Petersen [mailto:mekanix@vip.cybercity.dk] > > Sent: Thursday, December 21, 2000 1:01 AM > > To: Tim McMillen > > Cc: freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG > > Subject: Re: KDE 2.0.1 refuses to compile. > > > > > > On Thu, 21 Dec 2000 02:52:40 -0500 (EST) > > Tim McMillen wrote: > > > > > Hi, I got KDE 2.0.1 to install.
