** ** KSplash/MacLike ** Copyright (c) 2001, Flaming Sword Productions ** All Rights Reserved! ** Step 1: configure your sources. Please notice that I've prepared this package on a FreeBSD system. That being said, if you encounter problems with the build system, rest assured that I already know about it. Autoconf is a dirty hack. (Like you needed ME to tell ya that! ;). In any case, if you encounter problems trying to build this system, AND you have autoconf/automake installed, you may try running "make -f Makefile.cvs" before you shoot an e-mail off to me. It just might help your situation out somewhat. :) Linux: $ ./configure (Your distribution will most likely vary. Linux has NO standards, unfortunately...) FreeBSD (this will work for Qt2 systems): $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-qt-includes=/usr/X11R6/include/qt2 \ --with-extra-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-extra-includes=/usr/local/include (Qt3:) $ ./configure --prefix=/usr/local --with-qt-includes=/usr/X11R6/include \ --with-extra-libs=/usr/local/lib --with-extra-includes=/usr/local/include Step 2: build ksplash-ml Linux (should always work): $ make FreeBSD: $ gmake Step 3: **BACKUP YOUR EXISTING KSPLASH** $ su Password: xxx # cp $PREFIX/bin/ksplash $PREFIX/bin/ksplash-backup Step 4: make install Linux: # make install FreeBSD: # gmake install Step 5: enjoy!! (Start your KControl and take a look at "Look & Feel / KDE Splash Screen" to get started! :) Step 6: If all goes wrong, restore your backup... $ su Password: xxx # mv /usr/local/bin/ksplash-backup /usr/local/bin/ksplash ... and let me know what happened!
