Getting Started

We will install KDE4 to a userdir, to do that let create a new user;

# useradd -m pardus
# passwd

You will also need this .bashrc file to do some operations easily.

Required Packages

# pisi it gcc subversion pkgconfig glut jpeg libpng giflib clucene cppunit liblrdf libxml2 libxslt boost cmake redland dbus hal shared-mime-info qt4

Edit your .bashrc file and add;

alias qmake="qmake-qt4"

Get the source and then build them' all

In this section we will use "cs" command; don't forget it's not a typo ! If you get an error like: CMake Error: Could NOT find QtGlobal header Remove your CMakeCache.txt and try again.
