INSTALL file.


In order to run kastrolog on your computer, you must perform the
following steps:

This software has been developped under the Linux operating system. It
does not mean that it will not work under another UNIX or UNIX-like
operating system, such as FreeBSD, Hurd, NetBSD, AIX, Solaris, HP-UX,
etc..
However, kastrolog needs the KDE graphical environment. KDE is a GPL
project, is free and can run with many of the above OSes. For more
information, or for a direct download of it, see http://www.kde.org.

Normally, all the projects designed to work with the KDE environment
should be compilable through the "configure" process. Unfortunately,
some trouble occured during my attempts to convert my software to
"configure".
I hope nevertheless to release such a feature in the future. If
you have some knowledge of configure, you could possibly give me some
help :-)

In the meantime, kastrolog can be installed easily, but you need the
gcc 2.95 (or above) C and C++ compilers, the "make" tool and all the
KDE and QT 1.4x developpement files. Check if your C and make commands
exist, and where your qt and kde directories are.

1) Be root or login as root

2) Unpack the file "kastrolog-5.4-1.1.tar.gz" with the following command:

     tar xvf kastrolog-5.4-1.1.tar.gz

3) Go to the kastrolog directory:

     cd kastrolog

4) Options check. If you don't understand one of the following items,
try to skip it.

 4.1) If your C compiler is not gcc, then perform "export CC=<your
compiler>"
 4.2) If your C++ compiler is not g++, then perform "export CXX=<your
compiler>"
 4.3) If your qt directory is not /usr/local/lib/qt, then "export
QTDIR=<your qt directory>"
 4.4) If your kde directory is not /opt/kde, then "export KDEDIR=<your
kde directory>"
 4.5) If your C and C++ compilation flags are not '-O2 -pipe', then
"export CFLAGS='<your flags>'"

Examples:
    export CC=pgcc
    export KDEDIR=/usr
    export CFLAGS='-O3 -pipe -mpentium'

5) Compile the project:

     make

6) Install the files:

     make install
