Installation of Kdenetwork

[Note]

Note

The following installation procedures assume that the recommended dependencies as well as v4l-utils and wireless_tools are installed. Examine CMakeLists.txt to determine other options.

v4l-utils must be installed to build any kopete (instant messenger) plugin.

Install kdenetwork with: 

patch -Np1 -i ../kdenetwork-3.5.13-upstream_fixes-1.patch &&

MAKEDIR=/tmp/buildkdenet &&
KDENET=`pwd`             &&
rm -rf   $MAKEDIR        &&
mkdir -p $MAKEDIR        &&
cd       $MAKEDIR        &&

cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$TRINITY_PREFIX    \
      -DCMAKE_VERBOSE_MAKEFILE=ON               \
      -DWITH_JINGLE=ON                          \
      -DWITH_SPEEX=ON                           \
      -DWITH_WEBCAM=ON                          \
      -DWITH_GSM=OFF                            \
      -DWITH_ARTS=ON                            \
      -DBUILD_KOPETE_PROTOCOL_ALL=ON            \
      -DBUILD_KOPETE_PROTOCOL_GADU=OFF          \
      -DBUILD_KOPETE_PROTOCOL_MEANWHILE=OFF     \
      -DBUILD_KOPETE_PLUGIN_ALL=ON              \
      -DBUILD_ALL=ON                            \
      $KDENET            &&

unset MAKEDIR KDENET     &&
make
[Note]

Note

If you wish to create the API documentation and you have Doxygen and Graphviz installed, make apidox must be done before make install.

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Configuring Kdenetwork

Config Files

/etc/lisarc and ~/.lisarc

Configuration Information

To utilize the LAN Browser of konqueror you will need to create the /etc/lisarc file and start the lisa daemon. Create /etc/lisarc by filling out the information in the “Guided LISa Setup” section of the “LISa Daemon” tab on the “Control Center” — “Internet & Network” — “Local Network Browsing” dialog box.

Install the /etc/rc.d/init.d/lisa init script included in the blfs-bootscripts-20111226 package. 

make install-lisa

There is no explicit configuration for the rest of the kdenetwork package, however some individual programs need to be set up with user information.
