kmldonkey


how do i get kmldonkey up and running?

"./configure --prefix=$(kde-config --prefix)"

thats what the website says. but what does it mean? the prefix. location of kde? and if so where is it?



i compiled it with no args. it went well.

but during build it died on me.



i compiled mldonkey and it works just fine. its lame with the web browser.


thankx

That command tells kmldonkey to install itself and its supporting libs in the same location as that of all other KDE applications. I usually do
Code:
$./configure --prefix=`kde-config --prefix`
$make 
#make install
If the make process failed, maybe you should post the section with the error message and someone may help you sort out the problem.

./configure --prefix=< path >
this is where config will install your stuff.

$(< command >)
will run < command > and "return" its output. The command is run in another bash instance.

kde-config is a program wich shows you the KDE installation rutes (kde-config --help)

kde-config --prefix, as configured in Slackware, will output /opt/kde (in some other distros, it should output /opt/kde3), and is the --prefix option which was used when './configure'ing KDE.

That means that the effective command you run in the end is "./configure --prefix=/opt/kde"

Hope that helps...

Some times the configure scripts take "shorcuts" and use --prefix to search for libraries and include-files... maybe that's why it's dying on you?...
