Screenshots Of Rc10 Running Kde 3.4 Here

[pgas]

ooops wrong thread....

[HardenCoonor]

I have installed KDE 3.4 into the rom, both libs and base. I had to remove some packages (xmms, abiword and others), and made a 90 MB root partition ( i have a c860).


Both are huge, but the size can be reduced, for future builds (kdelibs-3.4.1).

At first, when compiling, one might make use of DO_NOT_COMPILE, and omit compiling stuff like kdeprint and others, especially arts.

example:

DO_NOT_COMPILE="arts debian kdeprint"

For a complete list please take a look at the archive, every subdirectory is an option if i got the configure script right.

After building kdelibs and kdebase, one might remove changelogs, wallpapers, sounds, help-templates for languages other than "en",

I would like to compile kde myself, and while i am at it, the rom as a whole. Are there any special instructions i have to follow, or is it as easy as to download pdaxrom-builder, all the sources, the toolchain and then go?

[pgas]

there are some instructions for the builder here:

http://212.10.30.205/docs/pdaxrom-builder/...d-rom-yourself/

Note that for the whole rom you have to build 2 toolchains: gcc 3.x for the applications and gcc 2.95 for the kernel.

I you only want to build kde you can use the cross compile sdk.

One problem that I see with your approach is that people interested in kde might be interested by all the  bells an whistles and start to complain that they can't find the xxx package. Finding just the right set of  packages is a hard task  and in the end there is still someone who asks for something else.

There is a better way (much more time consuming) which is to make a lot of small packages. So that one can choose what he wants

Just my 2 cents, of course, as if you do so people will start complaining that it's a pain to install so many small packages and ask for an all in one ipk .

That's bad news. I would have liked to compile all with gcc-3.4.4 from my gentoo-toolchain, but the i would have to switch to kernel 2.6.11, where the cardreader functionality is probably not implemented, as far as i know.


Of course thanks for the link, it seems to be the prototype of the new pdaxrom-page.

I would rather see lots of small packages, my biggest gripe about gentoo (which I run everywhere) is that kde is huge all or nothing monster.

a) any new progress w/ kde? the original stuff was cool..but the optimizations are something I've been looking forward to.... that and working khtml.....

this whole thing raises an issue. Maybe the feeeds should be split into main and varius gui feeds?  having all the kde, or xfce specific stuff in one place

I agree with that, having a selection of feeds would be essential

[ScottYelich]

I just ran a program to make a feed out of the xfce4 ipks I was mirroring -- and the damn
program rm'd most of the files!  (I didn't even know it had that "feature")

what about splitting the package?
I'd like to install only konqueror, as half-way alternative to firefox and dillo (found it usefull sometimes), and I'm sure there are a lot of apps we could desire to use even without the whole (stripped) environment

[adf]

have you guys got konqueror rendering html ?  I keep getting a khtml error followed by a view of the html, etc.... instead of a page. maybe I missed an update?

[DaMightyWhightyMan]

I did a ipkg install kdebase  which then installed all its dependances, didn't get any errors.  But when I  run startkde I get an error saying.  "Could not start KdeInit. Check your installation"  

did I do something wrong?

I do notice undefined symbol errors on libkdefx.so.4... hrmm

im using a Zaurus C 760 RC9 and kde is installed to SD card (/mnt/card/)
