kscope help!
 

I'm new to to this forum, I needed some help with kscope.


I've been a kscope user for years now and I recently updated my OS to FC14. I usually never keep latest versions, usually I like to be a couple of versions behind in the FC series.

With FC 14 I got the latest version of kscope, 1.9.4. This looks completely different from the old one I was using (FC10, kscope v.1.6.2). This one looks like a stripped down version of the older one.

Its a brilliant tool, does things like building relational graphs etc with ease.

I'm usually working with the kernel, so could someone point me how to configure the Kernel sources with kscope in the newer version?

Any help or pointers would be appreciated.
Thanks in advance.

P.S. - I tried going back to the old 1.6.2 version, but too many things have changed, and there were so many dependency errors. It just did not seem worth the effort.

Welcome to LQ. .. .. :) ..

Yes, you are right, they are very different.
'kscope-1.9.4' is a QT-4.7 application.
'kscope-1.6.2' : a QT3 + kde3 application.
However, the old version is easy to build from the Fedora 10 SRC.RPM source.
( rpmbuild -bb kscope.spec )
http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pu...1.fc10.src.rpm

The "new" package kscope-1.6.2-1.fc14.i386.rpm is here
https://docs.google.com/leaf?id=0B7S...uthkey=COjkijU

And can be installed with : ( # yum remove kscope )
# yum localinstall --nogpgcheck kscope-1.6.2-1.fc14.i386.rpm

( It can be a little tricky, if you want both versions, but there are no
conflicting files : They are totally different ! )

I don't think, kscope has anything to do with the kernel.
It's a user space application only.

Awesome! Thanks for your reply, I installed the older version with nogpgcheck. Thank you so much!
