Your advice isn't wrong, really, but I wanted to say that I personally found that you CAN keep your old kde3.5/qt3 installation, merely installing qt4 and kde4 over the top of it. There are about one dozen linking problems I hit, 2 big C++ include problems I hit (I hate those a LOT worse) and I needed to install the x11/kdebase4-workspace with no hint at all (there seems to be no dependency for it at all), but at the moent, my kde3 works alongside my kde4, or actually, you need to pull out the x11/kdebase4-workspace if you want to run the kde3.5, but it DOES run then. Reinstalling the kdebase4-workspace brings in the kde4.2. I never actually sollved the strigi problem I found, I needed to beg a package froma friend, but that worked fine. Would be a big help to folks if they can build the strigi and put a package up. > > -- > David Johnson > _______________________________________________ > kde-freebsd mailing list > kde-freebsd@kde.org > https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd > See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1.4.9 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iEYEARECAAYFAknBTlsACgkQz62J6PPcoOmYEgCeNSfX5iU3iXLYm3m3cQCXjaPo CV0AoKWcjpsR8DjhNW9X/GLgt6YcyCwa =Z7n8 -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ kde-freebsd mailing list kde-freebsd@kde.org https://mail.kde.org/mailman/listinfo/kde-freebsd See also http://freebsd.kde.org/ for latest information
