KDE4/KDE Pre-Installation Configuration

161.184.43.148: /* Multilib */

To prevent KDE4 from killing KDE3 we only talk about installing into /opt. This will be changed once KDE4 has been tested and more accepted.
We use a hard link to /opt/kde4 to prevent /opt/KDE from being removed and causeing KDE3 to fail.

If you're using the [[Bash Startup Files]] then run the commands below. Otherwise make sure that the values you want are properly set.

== Installing KDE into /opt ==

Create the '''/opt/kde4''' directory:

install -dv -m755 /opt/kde4

Create the KDE4 tmp dir. This will prolly need to be run once for each user that want access to KDE4.

install -dv -m1777 /tmp/{$USER}-kde4

=== Non-Multilib ===

Create an addition to the [[Bash Startup Files]]:

cat > /etc/profile.d/30-kde4.sh << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/profile.d/30-kde4.sh

export KDEDIR=/opt/kde4
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR
export KDETMP=/tmp/$USER-kde4
export STRIGI_HOME=${KDEDIR}
export QT_PLUGINS_DIR=$KDEDIR/lib/kde4/plugins:$QTDIR/lib${QT_PLUGINS_DIR+:}$QT_PLUGINS_DIR
export PATH="${PATH}:${KDEDIR}/bin"
export PKG_CONFIG_PATH="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH+:}${KDEDIR}/lib/pkgconfig"
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS='${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}:${KDEDIR}/share

# End /etc/profile.d/30-kde4.sh
EOF
source /etc/profile

Add a new entry to /etc/ld.so.conf for the libraries that KDE is going to install:

cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF"
# Begin KDE4 addition to /etc/ld.so.conf

/opt/kde4/lib

# End KDE addition
EOF

=== Multilib ===

Create an addition to the [[Bash Startup Files]]:

cat > /etc/profile.d/30-kde4.sh << "EOF"
# Begin /etc/profile.d/30-kde4.sh

export KDEDIR=/opt/kde4
export KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR

export PKG_CONFIG_PATH64="${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64}${PKG_CONFIG_PATH64+:}${KDEDIR}/lib64/pkgconfig"
export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS='${XDG_CONFIG_DIRS}:${KDEDIR}/share

# End /etc/profile.d/30-kde4.sh
EOF
source /etc/profile

Add a new entry to /etc/ld.so.conf for the libraries that KDE is going to install:

cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF"
# Begin KDE4 addition to /etc/ld.so.conf

/opt/kde4/lib
/opt/kde4/lib32
/opt/kde4/lib64

# End KDE addition
