+&kdesvn-build; is a Perl script to help users install  <ulink
+url="http://www.kde.org/">&kde;</ulink> from <ulink
+url="http://subversion.tigris.org/">&svn;</ulink>.  You may also want to
+consider the kde-build script include with &kde;'s kdesdk module.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Here we document the &kdesvn-build; configuration file syntax and options, its
+command line options, features, and an overview of all necessary steps required
+to build &kde; from source, including the steps which you should perform using
+other tools, or in other words, steps that are not automatically performed
+by the &kdesvn-build; script.
+</para>

+<chapter id="getting-started">
+<title>Getting Started</title>
+
+<para>
+In this chapter, we show how to use the &kdesvn-build; to checkout modules from the
+&kde; repository and build them. We also provide a basic explanation of the &kde;
+&svn; structure and the steps you have to perform before running the script.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+All topics present in this chapter are covered with even more detail in the
+<ulink url="http://quality.kde.org/develop/cvsguide/buildstep.php">
+Building &kde; from Source Step by Step Guide</ulink>, at the
+<ulink url="http://quality.kde.org">&kde; Quality Team Website</ulink>.
+If you are compiling KDE for the first time, it is a good idea to read
+it, or consult it as a reference source. You will find detailed information
+about packaging tools and requirements, common compilation pitfalls and
+strategies and information about running your new &kde; installation.
+</para>
+
+<sect1 id="before-building">
+<title>Preparing the System to Build &kde;</title>
+
+<para>
+It is recommended that you download and build &kde; using a user
+account. If you already have &kde; packages installed, the best choice
+would be to create a different (dedicated) user to build and run the new &kde;.
+The advantage of building &kde; with a dedicated user is you can not break
+the base system, and you will always have a way to comfortably work when
+things go wrong.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Later, you can do a root installation if you wish. This document
+does not cover a root installation. If you are performing a system
+wide install, you probably already know what you are doing anyway.
+</para>
+
+<para>Before using the &kdesvn-build; script (or any other building
+strategy) you must install the development tools and libraries needed for &kde;.
+You need the Qt library, version 3.3.0 or greater, Automake 1.8,
+Autoconf 2.5X (better if >=2.57 as a bug was reported with lower versions),
+the subversion (svn) client, the gcc compiler with C++ support, libxml2,
+openssl, libbz2, and many more (for a complete list, visit the
+<ulink url="http://www.kde.org/info/requirements/3.4.php">KDE Compilation
+Requirements</ulink>). You can usually get those tools packaged for your system
+from your distribution or vendor.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Some of these packages are divided into libs, programs or utilities and
+development packages. You will need at least the program or library and
+its development package. If in doubt, install all. The libraries you need
+will change depending on the modules you intend to build, as each module
+has its own requirements. The
+<ulink url="http://quality.kde.org/develop/cvsguide/buildstep.php#step1">
+Building &kde; from Source Step by Step Guide</ulink> has more details
+about the specific tools and techniques used to install and find the
+required software.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+You probably already have a version of the &kdesvn-build; script installed
+in your system. &kdesvn-build;requires you to create a configuration file, named
+<filename>.kdesvn-buildrc</filename>. This file should be installed on
+the home folder (~/), and contain all configuration data
+required for the script to run, like configuration options,
+compiling options, location of the sources, the destination of the installation
+(prefix), the modules that should be built, &etc;. The default configuration
+data is provided by the <filename>kdesvn-buildrc-sample</filename> file.
+You can find more information about the syntax of the configuration file
+in <xref linkend="configure-data" /> and in <xref linkend="kdesvn-buildrc" />.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+A good way to get the latest version is to browse the kdesdk/scripts page
+at the <ulink url="http://websvn.kde.org/trunk/KDE">websvn.kde.org</ulink> website.
+You will see a list of the files available in the kdesdk/scripts directory in
+the &kde; &svn; repository. Click the &kdesvn-build; link and download
+the latest version of the script. Do the same for the
+<filename>kdesvn-buildrc-sample</filename> file.
+Make the script executable, and be sure it is in your path.
+</para>
+
+</sect1>
+
+<sect1 id="configure-data">
+<title>Setting the Configuration Data</title>
+
+<para>
+To use the script, you must have a file in your home directory called
+<filename>.kdesvn-buildrc</filename>, which sets the general options and sets the modules
+you would like to download and build.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Use the <filename>kdesvn-buildrc-sample</filename> file as a
+template, setting global options, and the modules you want to build.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Select the server used to check out from &svn;, by setting the svn-server
+global option. The default is the anonymous &svn; repository,
+<emphasis>svn://anonsvn.kde.org/</emphasis>, but change it
+if you have a <ulink url="http://developer.kde.org/documentation/misc/firststepsaccount">&kde;
+&svn; account</ulink>, or if there is <ulink url="http://developer.kde.org/source/anonsvn.html">
+a mirror close to you</ulink>.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Pay close attention to the kdedir and qtdir global variables, as the first sets
+where your &kde; build is going to be installed, (by default to
+<filename>~/kde</filename>), and the second where (and if) your qt library is
+going to be built and installed, (by default to
+<filename>~/kdesvn/build/qt-copy</filename>). You will need to know the
+kdedir and qtdir location later, to set up the environment variables
+that are necessary to run your new installation.
+Check if the listed modules are in fact the modules you want to build.
+The default options from the <filename>kdesvn-buildrc-sample</filename> file
+should be enough to get a fairly complete &kde; installation.
+Save the resulting as <filename>.kdesvn-buildrc</filename> in your home
+folder.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If you wish to fine tune your <filename>.kdesvn-buildrc</filename>,
+consult <xref linkend="kdesvn-buildrc" /> for detailed information
+about all configuration options.

+
+<sect1 id="building-and-troubleshooting">
+<title>Using the &kdesvn-build; script</title>

+<para>
+Now you are ready to run the script. From a terminal window,
+log in to the user you are using to compile &kde; and execute
+the script:
+<screen>
+<prompt>&percnt;</prompt><command>su</command> <option>-</option> <replaceable>devel-username</replaceable>
+<prompt>&percnt;</prompt><command>kdesvn-build</command>
+</screen>
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Now, the script should start downloading the sources and compiling them. It is
+unlikely that you will succeed in the first time you compile &kde;. Do not despair!
+Check the log files to see if you are missing some tools or development  packages
+(the location of the log files is set by the log-dir variable in the configuration
+file). Sometimes, the main development branch get very unstable and hard to build,
+especially when a development freeze is close. Be patient. You can find more common
+examples of things that can go wrong and their solutions, as well as general tips and
+strategies to build &kde; in the

+<title>Setting the Environment to Run Your Fresh &kde;</title>
+
+<para>
+Assuming you are using a dedicated user to build &kde;, and you already have
+an installed &kde; version, running your new &kde; may be a bit tricky, as the new &kde;
+has to take precedence over the old. Change the environment variables to
+make sure it does.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Open or create the <filename>.bash_profile</filename> file in the home directory with your favorite editor,
+and add to the end of the file:
+
+<programlisting>
+KDEDIR=(path to kdedir)
+KDEDIRS=$KDEDIR
+PATH=$KDEDIR/bin:$QTDIR/bin:$PATH
+LD_LIBRARY_PATH=$KDEDIR/lib:$LD_LIBRARY_PATH
+export KDEDIRS PATH LD_LIBRARY_PATH

+export KDEHOME="${HOME}/.kde-svn"
+
+# Create it if needed

+
+<note>
+<para>
+If later your menu is empty or too crowded with applications from your distribution,
+you may have to set the xdg environment variables in your <filename>.bash_profile</filename>:
+
+<programlisting>
+XDG_CONFIG_DIRS="/etc/xdg"
+XDG_DATA_DIRS="${KDEDIR}/share:/usr/share"
+export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS XDG_DATA_DIRS

+Now that we are done with the you have to make sure that the right <application>startkde</application>
+script is going to be used:
+</para>
+
+<para>
+Open the <filename>.xinitrc</filename> text file (or <filename>.xsession</filename>,
+depending on the distribution) from the home directory, or create it if necessary. Add the

+Now start your fresh &kde;: in  BSD and Linux systems with virtual terminal support,
+Ctrl+Alt+F1...F12 keystroke combinations are used to switch to Virtual Console 1 through 12.
+This allows you to run more than one desktop environment at the same time. The fist six are
+text terminals and the following six are graphical displays.
+</para>
+
+<para>
+If when you boot you are presented to the graphical display manager instead, you can
+use the new KDE environment, even if it is not listed as an option. Press Crtl + Alt + F2,
+and you will be presented to a text terminal. Log in using the dedicated user and type:
+</para>
+
+<screen>
+startx -- :1
+</screen>
+
+<tip>
+<para>
+You can run the KDE from sources and the old KDE at the same time! Log in using your regular user,
+start the stable KDE desktop. Press Crtl + Alt + F2 (or F1, F3, etc..), and you will be presented
+to a text terminal. Log in using the dedicated user and type "startx -- :1". You can go back to the
+regular user by pressing Crtl + Alt + F6 (Or F7, F8, etc... Try them out! One of them is the right
+one.) To return to KDE from sources, press Crtl + Alt + F7 (or F6, F8,etc..). Now you can switch
+between your KDE versions, and test the new one knowing you can quickly return to the safety of
+the stable KDE desktop.
