KDE 4 Diary

Well, 
 I've been compiling KDE 4 once a week for a while now and from this weekend I 
decided to start a "diary" that hopefully will be updated every week on how 
KDE 4 is shaping up. This is the first "entry" 
 
 2 September, 2006 
 
 Did svn update on qt-copy, kdelibs and kdebase and got buisy compiling. Doing 
so is really a breeze thanks to cmake. As suggested on KDE wiki I added this 
function log time ago to my bashrc 
 function cmakekde { cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$HOME/kde \ 
 -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull $@ && make VERBOSE=1 && make install 
 } 
 So now I can compile every package with one command. I also unmasked the hard 
mask on dbus-0.9* (it works fine with kde 3 as well, after revdep-rebuild). 
 Everything was now compiled and it was time to start it up. So it wont 
interfere with my current kdm, I use startx to start it up. I did it long 
time ago, so I can't remember the details right now, but I just had to create 
a session file for kde4 and edit Xsession I think. 
 Upon start up I was greeted with the usual KDE wizard, no new options there 
for now. Then I remembered, how am I gonna take screen shots?! Could use 
imagemagick, but thats not cool ;) So i checked out a copy of kdegraphics. 
Another dilemma: I don't want all of it! After a minute of thinking, I looked 
in CMakeLists.txt. Ah now we're talking! Commented out all the folder 
includes except ksnapshot. Run the magic function, all good and working. So 
here's the first one:

 Now let's see what Konqueror looks like:

 Exiting Konqueror I got this:

 Seems kinit still has some problems... 
 What I really liked is the new proggy KAppFinder. It finds non-kde apps and 
creates menu entries for them:

 Next I wanted to see what I can configure. Turns out nothing ;) Screen shot 
is self explanatory:

 Of course you'll be interested in Konsole:

 There was another new app KMenuEditor I think, but it refused to start :( 
 
 Well thats it folks, see you next week.

Best wishes, 
Arne
