kdebindings installation

abattoir · 08-02-2005, 08:04 AM

I need to install PyKDE. PyKDE apparently does not support KDE>=3.4. Instead i was directed to use kdebindings. I tried compiling kdebindings-3.4.2 from source. During configure, i get

Code:

A C# compiler wasn't found. The Qt# bindings need either Mono, Portable.NET or Rotor.
You will need three things to compile the Qt# bindings:

1. A C# compiler -- Mono's mcs, DotGNU/Portable.NET's cscc, or Rotors csc.

2. A CLR JIT.  Mono's works the best right now.  Qt# will work somewhat with
DotGNU/Portable.NET's ilrun and with Rotor's JIT.

3. Portable.NET's csant tool.  This is a Java ANT like build tool for C#
programs.  You can find these tools at the following locations:

Is a c# compiler necessary, i need only the PyKDE stuff. And it depends on stuff made by Mircrosoft??? You are kidding me right???

Is there any other way i can install PyKDE for KDE 3.4.2?
I also tried installing the cooker rpm for kdebindings, but it does not contain PyKDE.

No you don't need to install mono, kdebindings will compile without it. Just continue to "make".

Edit: Why not install Mandriva kdebindings packages?

No, i was not able to run 'make', that was part of the problem. I dont exactly remember what the error message was now.
At that time I could find only a cooker package. That had almost everything other than Python bindings. I also abnormally have KDE 3.4.2 installed rather than the default 3.3.2 that comes with Mandriva LE 2005, so the LE 2005 rpms(built for 3.3.2) wouldnt work.
I tried thac's rpm but it asked for (what i thought were) unnecessary dependencies.

Finally, I sent a message to the PyKDE mailing list, and someone there made me an rpm, and I have that installed.

Thanks for your concern though......
