In this +README I will tell you how to get KTurtle running on your computer. + + + +1. Requirements +You need to have KDE 3.2 or higher. I don't know if it will work with different +KDE versions since I did not test it. If it does not work please see +the Questions section below. + + + +2. Compiling +The simplest way to compile this package is: + + 1) `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type + `./configure --prefix=<PATH>' to configure the package for your + system. + + Make sure to replace <PATH> by the path wher your KDE apps are + installed. This is mostly '/usr', but sometimes (for SuSE) '/opt/kde'. + If you dont know what to do try: `./configure --prefix=/usr'. If you don't give a --prefix the default path /usr/local will be used, resulting that KTurtle will no be with your other apps, and may not run smoothly. + + Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some + messages telling which features it is checking for. If the + configure script exits with an error it will probably hint you + what it needs in order to succeed. + + 2) Type `make' to compile the package. + + 'make' also takes a while, and it also has the possibility to exit + with errors. Although the errors messages 'make' produces are mostly + not as clear as the error messages from 'configure', they are a hint + to what went wrong. Please see the Questions section below if you + dont know what to do with these messages. + +If it succeeded a binary named 'kturtle' is made and can be find in the +'src' directory within the directory containing the package's source +code. + +Before you can run KTurtle you need to install it. + + + +3. Installing +NOTE: you often need 'root' privilliges to do the following! + + 1) Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and + documentation. + + 2) You can remove the program binaries and object files from the + source code directory by typing `make clean'. + +If you want to uninstall KTurtle you should type 'make uninstall' when +in the source code directory. + +Please note that 'make install' will install KTurtle to the path that is provided to the './configure' command with the '--prefix' flag! + + +4. Running +Under normal circumstances should be able to run KTurtle from the +commandline by typing 'kturtle'. + +If it does not work please go to the source code directory of KTurtle +and type: + + cd src + ./kturlte + +If this does not work please follow instuction form the Question section. + + + +5. Questions +Check out the FAQ in the source code directory of KTurtle to see if your +question has allready been asked. + +You can also mail questions to the mail address you find in the +beginning of this document. Or visit the KTurtle website: +http://kturlte.sf.net , or http://edu.kde.org/kturtle +and post it in the forum. + + + +Thanks for reading! + +Cies. + + + + + |
