I have found KDE-2 to be the most touch program to install. It an
CodeCrusader are sensitive to the point of being twitchy. The best way
I have found it to build pib from ports and build b-req''s and r-req's
before you start. Then make sure your are starting out with all of the
KDE-1, and KDE-2 stuff deleted and cleaned. Then, it is simple to
install. You start out in /usr/ports/x11/kde2 and do a make and make
install. It will do everything for you at that point. There was a
problem with /usr/local/include/getopt.h that stopped me but I saw
where Will fixed that. The make installs kdesupport2 and kdelibs2. The
make install builds everything else. All it takes is time. My dual
866'2 build qt-2.2.4 and all of KDE-2 in 3 hrs. My slowest system
couldn't even build kdemultimedia2 in that time and the rest took
much, much longer :).
Start it compiling and be patient. When the install finishes, it works
and it pretty cool looking.
