<para>First, download and install development packages for &kde;, Qt, and X11.
Those should be available in your distribution, for example in Debian the
package names are <literal>tdelibs-trinity-dev</literal>,
<literal>libtqt-mt-dev</literal> and <literal>xlibs-dev</literal>. You may need
other development packages as well.</para>

<para>If at this point you are getting errors about missing libraries, you will
probably need to install more development packages from your distribution. The
<filename>configure</filename> script is very verbose, you will be able to tell
which package you need from its output. If you need even more information, look
in the <filename>config.log</filename> file. You will need to go to the bottom
and then scroll a page or two up to get to the point where it reported the
error. If everything fails, ask for help on the
<ulink url="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=244388">&kplayer;
user forum</ulink>. Do not forget to include the full output of
<filename>configure</filename> and the <filename>config.log</filename>
file.</para>
<para>Once <command>configure</command> succeeds, compile the code</para>
<para><userinput><command>make</command></userinput></para>
<para>If this step fails, you can again ask for help on the
<ulink url="http://sourceforge.net/forum/forum.php?forum_id=244388">&kplayer;
user forum</ulink> providing the full output of <command>make</command>.</para>

<para>This last command will also produce quite verbose output on your console.
This is the output you need to send in if you ever

help.</para>
