Hi,

   We need help in installing KDE in our embedded device. The following
is the information about our device and tasks we have done so far:

We have our device installed with Embedded Linux 2.6.11 and QT 4.4.0,
but we don't have X11 in it.

To have latest Konqueror browser in our device, we have decided to
install KDELIBS and KDEBASE in our device. (We got this information
somewhere in internet). Please clarify the installation of KDELIBS and
KDEBASE are sufficient to have the Konqueror browser in the device. Our
ultimate aim is have the latest Konqueror browser in the device.

To achieve that, we have downloaded KDELIBS-4.1.2.tar.bz2 from internet
and copied it to the following location in the device:

/usr/src/player/kdelibs_4.1.2

When we are trying to install KDELIBS 4.1.2, we encountered the
following errors:

1. When we executed the ./configure file from the KDELIBS source path,
we got an error saying that

use CMAKE build tool instead of configure.

2. So we installed CMAKE 2.6.2 and it was installed successfully. 

3. Then we executed the cmake command from the KDELIBS source path using
the following command:

    /usr/src/player/kdelibs-4.1.2#cmake ../kdelibs-4.1.2

   Now we got an error saying that 

   CMake error at cmake/modules/FindAutomoc4.cmake:53 (message)

   Did not find Automoc4Config.cmake (part of kdesupport). Searched in
(/usr/local. ...)

   We could not find Automoc4Config.cmake file in our device either in
the kdelibs-4.1.2 path or in the cmake directory. 

   Do we need to copy any other support directories along with
KDELIBS-4.1.2 to make the installation successful? Please clarify.

Please direct us, incase the steps we have followed is incorrect.

Thanks in advance.

Thanks&Regards,

Senthilkumar.K

No problem, but please use the kde-devel mailing-list for further
questions.

Your question is off-topic for all the addresses you sent it to...

Right. KDE3 required X11. There was a "kdenox" module for "kde without
X", but this

was quite limited (basically just a webbrowser) and this code is dead
nowadays.

Instead, you should use Qt 4 and KDE 4.

> Is it mandatory that X11 must be installed before installing KDE?
Please clarify.

Not with KDE4, which runs on Mac and Windows too.

But you might have to do some adaptations to make KDE4 compile and work
with Qt/Embedded,

I'm not sure what's the status on that.

In any case, start from trunk/KDE, not some old work branch.

See you on kde-devel@kde.org.
