Installing KDE 3.5.6 (manually) could not locate Qt
 

I am installing KDE manually using the instruction here.

http://docs.kde.org/development/en/k...q/install.html

Before doing this, I have installed Qt (version 3.3.7) as required by KDE that version of Qt >3.3 and < 4.0.

Then, I unpacked the arts-1.5.6.tar.bz2 (as the website said, this is the first package that need to be installed.)
But when I changedir and type ./configure, after going smoothly for a little bit, it thrown me out, saying that it cannot locate the Qt.
I even tried
./configure -with-qt=$QTDIR
with QTDIR is the directory where Qt was installed to. But no luck.
Would you please tell me what did I do wrong? Or am I missing something?

Thanks


P.S. the distro I am using is Zenwalk 4.2

Have you installed Qt from package or from source?

If from source, you probably need to point the configure script to the correct Qt location. If I remember correctly it's --with-qt-dir

If from package, you need to install both qt qt-devel (or qt3 and qt3-devel).

I installed Qt from source.
And, what is the correct "Qt location".

In my case, I put it in /usr/src/qt-versrion and make a symlink to /usr/loca/qt as recommed by the INSTALL file of the Qt. When I installed Qt, I did everything as default as I was told in the INSTALL file.

Before compiling arts and the other packages you need to set up QT_DIR variable.
export QT_DIR = /usr/local/qt
and then configure in arts should work (in the same terminal window).

Thank you Mara. I'll try it.
