[ale] Building KDE in Linux

[Mike Lockhart]

For anyone who uses Slackware, Debian, etc and would like to build KDE,
I built a script to compile KDE in the proper order.  You'll have to
pardon the shoddy bash scripting, I really haven't done to much of it.
:)  Hope it helps somebody.  If someone has some suggestions on how to
make this script better, please let me know.

#!/bin/sh

## TEMP_DIR is where the tar.bz2 files are located
## STORE_DIR is the dir. that the .tar files will be saved in, so if 
## you need them later they're available.

TEMP_DIR=/root/KDE
STORE_DIR=/root/KDE_TARS

cd $TEMP_DIR

for I in `ls`;
   do `bunzip2 $I`;
done;

for T in `ls`;
   do `tar -xvf $T`;
done;

`mv *.tar $STORE_DIR`


for L in `ls`;
   do `echo $L`;

   ## Replace 3.x.x with the proper version number, works for 3.0.2 and
   ## 3.1 ;)
   ##
   ## The below parts rename kdelibs to Bkdelibs, kdeaddons to
   ## zkdeaddons, and arts to Aarts.  This makes sure that they are 
   ## compiled in the proper order, which is arts 1st, libs 2nd, and
   ## addons last.

   if [ "$L" = "kdelibs-3.x.x" ]; then
      mv $L "B$L";
   fi
   if [ "$L" = "kdeaddons-3.x.x" ]; then
      mv $L "z$L";
   fi
   if [ "$L" = "arts-1.x.x" ]; then
      mv $L "A$L";
   fi
done;

for J in `ls`;
   do ``;
   cd $J

   ## By default configure sets the PREFIX to /usr/local/kde
   ## ./configure --prefix=/opt/kde is another popular location

   ./configure
   make
   make install
   cd ..
   ldconfig
   rm -rf $TEMP_DIR/$J
