3 you are reading the README of the 'KTurtle' project that is initiated
4 and maintained by Cies Breijs (cies-AT-showroommama-DOT-nl). In this
5 README I will tell you how to get KTurtle running on your computer.
10 You need to have KDE 3.2 or higher. I don't know if it will work with different
11 KDE versions since I did not test it. If it does not work please see
12 the Questions section below.
17 The simplest way to compile this package is:
19 1) `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
20 `./configure --prefix=<PATH>' to configure the package for your
23 Make sure to replace <PATH> by the path wher your KDE apps are
24 installed. This is mostly '/usr', but sometimes (for SuSE) '/opt/kde'.
25 If you dont know what to do try: `./configure --prefix=/usr'. If you don't give a --prefix the default path /usr/local will be used, resulting that KTurtle will no be with your other apps, and may not run smoothly.
27 Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some
28 messages telling which features it is checking for. If the
29 configure script exits with an error it will probably hint you
30 what it needs in order to succeed.
32 2) Type `make' to compile the package.
34 'make' also takes a while, and it also has the possibility to exit
35 with errors. Although the errors messages 'make' produces are mostly
36 not as clear as the error messages from 'configure', they are a hint
37 to what went wrong. Please see the Questions section below if you
38 dont know what to do with these messages.
40 If it succeeded a binary named 'kturtle' is made and can be find in the
41 'src' directory within the directory containing the package's source
44 Before you can run KTurtle you need to install it.
49 NOTE: you often need 'root' privilliges to do the following!
51 1) Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
54 2) You can remove the program binaries and object files from the
55 source code directory by typing `make clean'.
57 If you want to uninstall KTurtle you should type 'make uninstall' when
58 in the source code directory.
60 Please note that 'make install' will install KTurtle to the path that is provided to the './configure' command with the '--prefix' flag!
64 Under normal circumstances should be able to run KTurtle from the
65 commandline by typing 'kturtle'.
67 If it does not work please go to the source code directory of KTurtle
73 If this does not work please follow instuction form the Question section.
78 Check out the FAQ in the source code directory of KTurtle to see if your
79 question has allready been asked.
81 You can also mail questions to the mail address you find in the
