Using kommander
 

Hi,
I am trying to compile the Kommander on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5. But when i try to run the configure, this is what happend:

[root@localhost kommander-1.5.3]# ./configure
checking build system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking host system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking target system type... i686-pc-linux-gnu
checking for a BSD-compatible install... /usr/bin/install -c
checking for -p flag to install... yes
checking whether build environment is sane... yes
checking for a thread-safe mkdir -p... /bin/mkdir -p
checking for gawk... gawk
checking whether make sets $(MAKE)... yes
checking for kde-config... not found
configure: error: The important program kde-config was not found!
Please check whether you installed KDE correctly.

How can i solve the "kde-config was not found? Any help? Thanks.

you can install it, probably.
why won't you read a message or google it, if you can't understand it?

Are you using Gnome or KDE ??
any way Install KDE libraries ....

'kommander-1.5.3' : These files were originally part of the old
'quanta' Web Development Environment, now included in kdewebdev
3.5.x - 3.5.8 - 3.5.9 - 3.5.10 : New file names in "kommander".

So some files from the old quanta-3.x are required for kommander-1.5.3.
But I do not think, it is possible to compile it. Hope you can use
the modern kdewebdev. ( # yum install kdewebdev ).
.....
.....

.. Anyway here it is, so far, for kommander-1.5.3 :
# yum provides */kde-config
( the package name is kdelibs )

# yum install kdelibs kdelibs-devel qt-devel kdewebdev-devel libxslt-devel

"unsermake" is required ..
http://ftp.uwsg.iu.edu/array2/linux/...007.noarch.rpm
> > unsermake-0.4-2pclos2007.noarch.rpm.html

.. and the old qt file database2.h :
http://www.koders.com/cpp/fidE2C2CE7...=mdef%3Ainsert
command : cp database2.h kommander-1.5.3/factory/

.. also .. ewidgetfactory.h : editor/ewidgetfactory.h
executor/ewidgetfactory.h , widgets/ewidgetfactory.h .
http://archives.fedoraproject.org/pu....2.2-1.src.rpm
> > quanta-3.2.2-1.src.rpm
e.g. command : cp editor/ewidgetfactory.h kommander-1.5.3/editor/ , etc.

1) cd kommander-1.5.3/
2) ln -s ../kommander-1.5.3/ kommander
3)
touch widgets/libkommanderwidgets.la && touch widget/libkommanderwidgets.la
&& touch widget/libkommanderwidget.la && touch executor/libinstance.la
&& touch factory/libkommanderfactory.la && touch plugin/libkommanderplugin.la
4) ./configure
5) unsermake ( or make ).
.....

Are you running KDE4?

Many of the kwebdev libraries are not available or not ported to KDE4 yet. Quanta won't run on KDE4 either.

The package manager should be your first choice to install packages. If Kommander was an installable package in KDE3 and it is not in KDE4, chances are you can't compile it either because of the lack of the correct libraries.

jlinkels

@ jlinkels : RH EL 5 is entirely KDE 3.5.4 and qt3 .
( And Gnome.)

I never saw any KDE 4 for this Fedora 6 based OS.
It's release was ' Mar 14, 2007 '.

.....

I had no clue about which DM is shipped with RHEL. Nowadays most distro's are shipped with KDE4 which is bad given the maturity of KDE4.
