2. Installation

2.1 How to obtain Kmud

You can download Kmud from the Homepage at http://www.kmud.de/ or per anonymous ftp from ftp://ftp.kmud.de/pub/kmud/

If you really want the latest snapshot (no matter if it compiles or not), you can checkout Kmud from the CVS-server. Just enter the following lines:

cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@barney.cs.uni-potsdam.de:/home/cvs/kmud login
CVS password: ano
cvs -d :pserver:anonymous@barney.cs.uni-potsdam.de:/home/cvs/kmud checkout kmud

A snapshot of the development version in the CVS is made every night at 04:00:00 MET. You can download it at ftp://ftp.kmud.de/pub/kmud/kmud-snapshot.tar.gz

Dont forget to do a "make -f Makefile.dist" when got Kmud from the CVS or as the daily snapshot.

2.2 Requirements

You need Qt 1.44 and the KDE 1.1.x libs to be installed to compile Kmud correctly.

The Qt libs can be found at http://www.troll.no/dl/qtfree-dl.html and the KDE libs at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/ or install them with the setup tool of your favourite distribution.

2.3 Compilation and installation

In order to compile and install Kmud on your system, type the following in the base directory of the Kmud distribution:

% ./configure
% make
% make install (as root)

Since Kmud uses

autoconf
you should have not trouble compiling it.

Should you run into problems please report them to bugs@kmud.de or to the Kmud mailing list at kmud@kmud.de. See the homepage at www.kmud.de how to subscribe to the mailing list. Please include a short description of your system (platform, distribution) and the config.log file generated by configure.
