Before starting the build, ensure you have the QTDIR environment variable set:
export QTDIR=/opt/qt |
Install aRts by running the following commands:
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde-3.1.4 --disable-debug \
--disable-dependency-tracking &&
make &&
make install &&
ln -sfn /opt/kde-3.1.4 /opt/kde |
Note: Another configure option is --enable-final. This option can speed up the build process, but requires a lot of memory. If you have less than 256MB of RAM, this option may cause swapping and significantly slow compilation.
--prefix=/opt/kde-3.1.4 : This option tells the process to install the package in /opt/kde-3.1.4. We put aRts here because this package is required before installing KDE.
--disable-debug : This option causes the system to be compiled without debugging code.
--disable-dependency-tracking : This option speeds up one time builds.
ln -sfn /opt/kde-3.1.4 /opt/kde : This command creates a link for access to KDE. If a newer version of KDE is released, the new system can be built by changing the --prefix location and then set up by changing the link as this command does.
The library directory /opt/kde/lib should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf so that ldd can find the shared libraries. The following command will add it if it is missing:
cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF" # Begin kde addition to /etc/ld.so.conf /opt/kde/lib # End kde addition EOF ldconfig |
