(stupid Winmodems...) If you have the DOS partition mounted w/ the source files there then do the following: - move all the source files (kde stuff, bzip, qt etc) to the /usr/ports/distfiles (make it if you don't have it) - do NOT untar/zip the source files - the ports mechanism will take care of it - I assume you still have the ports directories you downloaded before somewhere. If you do, untar/zip them into /usr/ports (these can basically go anywhere if you don't have the ports tree installed, but you may as well have them here) - su root - cd to the kde port directory (there should be one labelled just kde) and type "make install clean" - it should then find all the source files it needs in the /usr/ports/distfiles directory and proceed to make kde along with all of its dependencies > So I need EXACT instructions of what files I need, where to put them, > what to do with them, how to get the god-damn thing to work......... Having followed this thread, if you'd been more specific about where you had the source files and what you wanted to do we could have probably solved this earlier.
