INSTALL file.


In order to run kastrolog on your computer, you must perform the
following steps:

This software has been developped under the Linux operating system. It
does not mean that it will not work under another UNIX or UNIX-like
operating system, such as FreeBSD, Hurd, NetBSD, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX,
etc..
However, kastrolog needs the KDE graphical environment. KDE is a GPL
project, is free and can run with many of the above OSes. For more
information, or for a direct download of it, see http://www.kde.org.

Normally, all the projects designed to work with the KDE environment
should be compilable through the "configure" process. Unfortunately,
some trouble occured during my attempt to convert my software to
"configure".
Nevertheless, I hope to release such a feature in a near future. If
you have some knowledge of configure, you could possibly give me some
help :-)

In the meantime, kastrolog can be installed easily, but you need the
"gcc" compilers package, the "make" tool and all the KDE and QT 1.4x
developpement files. Check if the gcc and make commands exist, and if
"$KDEDIR/include" directory is present too.

1) Be root or login as root

2) Unpack the file "kastrolog-5.4-beta1.tar.bz2" with the following command:

     tar --use-compress-program=bunzip2 xvf kastrolog-5.4-beta1.tar.bz2

3) Go to the kastrolog directory:

     cd kastrolog

4) Edit the file src/Makefile, and change INCLUDE and LDFLAGS to
   wherever your qt and kde include files and libraries are.
   (eg. if your qt include files are in /usr/include/qt, change
   INCLUDE to "-I /usr/include/qt -I /opt/kde/include").

5) Compile the project:

     make

6) Install the files:

     make install
