Trouble Patching Kwin Dropshadow on KDE 3.3.1
Hi,
I've been having trouble Patching Kwin Dropshadow, I've never patched anything before, and the directions are pretty vague: INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS ------------------------- kdebase-kwin_shadow.patch Copy it into your $KDEDIR/kdebase/kwin, where $KDEDIR is the toplevel directory in which you keep KDE's source code. From there, type: patch -p0 <kdebase.kwin-kwin_shadow.patch My folders do not match that of the directions...Help would be greatly appreciated. |
Do you have the source code for KDE? For instance, if you used konstruct to build your own KDE, then you should have a directory structure like this:
Code:
konstruct/kde/kdebase/work/kdebase-3.3.1/kwin |
Actually, I used kpackage to install a .tgz format of kdebase, i didn't install from the source...

Quote:
Create an empty directory and copy the kdebase.tgz file there. Go to that directory and open up the tgz file using the following command: Code:
# tar -xzf kdebase.tgz Code:
# tar -czf kdebase.tgz * Hope this works for you. |
Thanks for the help anyway, I gave up and just decided to install X11R6.8.1, works great.

Well there is a package available for most systems now. Btw, what are accurate settings for the OSX look?
