I've been trying to install the newer release of KDE on my 5.4 system with no luck. Here are some attempts: 1. Download kdebase-3.5.0 tarball, run ./configure (for starters): [laptop]/home/laptop/KDE/kdebase/kdebase-3.5.0(40): ./configure checking build system type... i386-unknown-freebsd5.4 checking host system type... i386-unknown-freebsd5.4 checking target system type... i386-unknown-freebsd5.4 checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c checking for -p flag to install... yes checking whether build environment is sane... yes checking for gawk... no checking for mawk... no checking for nawk... nawk checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes checking for kde-config... not found configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found! Please check whether you installed KDE correctly. ...I couldn't find a tarball or anything else looking like "kde-config" to install. 2. Use konstruct: Download the sources, untar them. They are supposed to play like FBSD ports; cd into some directory and type make install. There is a "meta" directory; here's what happens there: [laptop]/home/laptop/KDE/konstruct/meta(48): make install "../category.mk", line 13: Need an operator make: fatal errors encountered -- cannot continue 3. Some other attempt wth konstruct; cd into the kdebase subdirectory and do a make install there: [laptop]/home/laptop/KDE/konstruct/kde/kdebase(54): make install "../../gar.conf.mk", line 38: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 54: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 64: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 100: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 108: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 116: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 134: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 135: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 136: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 137: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 138: Need an operator "../../gar.conf.mk", line 139: Need an operator "../../gar.lib.mk", line 272: Need an operator "../../gar.lib.mk", line 274: Need an operator "../../gar.lib.mk", line 277: Need an operator "../../gar.lib.mk", line 288: Need an operator "../../color.mk", line 19: Missing dependency operator "../../color.mk", line 62: Need an operator "../../gar.mk", line 65: Need an operator "../../gar.mk", line 67: Need an operator "../../gar.mk", line 69: Need an operator Error expanding embedded variable. I didn't play with the gar.conf.mk file; it looked like it was supposed to run okay the way it was. I probably do not understand what they're doing with the gar.conf.mk files. cheers & happy new year - -- paz.
