This is the complete KDE 3.5.10 library package. It's not the desktop, it's just the required libraries to run KDE 3.x applications on Puppy. It includes QT3 so all that is necessary is to install the PET, or use the SFS package for a portable installation.

I compiled this for 2 reasons, one is that KDE 3.5 runs on older hardware, and the other is the software base, although slowly being neglected, is extremely mature. The 4.x base is only just coming into it's own now, and there are still loads of software that needs to be properly ported.

The other thing is that KDE 4 now uses a version of QT that exceeds the version that ships with Puppy. That means if I included the new QT4 it might break any applications already using QT4 in puppy. QT3 isn't included in Puppy, so there is less chance of something going pear shaped.

Ok, enough drivel, gimme the files!

As always with my upload account, you may have to change the useragent on your browser like this: http://www.users.on.net/~ejant/agent.html

Pick one:
kdelibs-3.5.10.pet 36Mb

or

kdelibs-3.5.10.sfs 36Mb

You could install both at once, but that would be silly.

Some apps:

K3B: DVD and CD burning suite.
KDissert: Mindmapping software.
KDEToys: Toys for the KDE desktop (a lot work with Puppy however
KDE Web Development software.
KDE Software Development Kit

Have the fun

Now this could save me a lot of pain . Can you face compiling kdewebdev and konqueror in a sfs please. Maybe kalzium too of which is a bonus. (To help me with me education (14 year old))

:cute/begging smiley:

[abushcrafter]

Thanks. Don't do kalzium for the moment But if you could face konqueror in a sfs with the kdewebdev stuff in the same sfs then yes please

BUT.........


k3b fails:

[sikpuppy]

Wow. Erm, can you zip the debug messages up and just attach them?

[sikpuppy]

.

[abushcrafter]

more fails and k3b loads GUI but moans.

Ok. I managed to get almost exactly the same error output as you with the Quanta part of kdewebdev. I think I know what went wrong.

To run KDEWebDev you NEED to have either the kdelib PET OR the kdelibsfs AS WELL. If not it will crash every time.

I didn't need to use the patch I posted on a fresh install. This is what I did.

I installed kdewebdev on it's own and got a spew of errors, basically the same as you.

I started over with a new fresh install. I used the KDElibs SFS and rebooted. I installed the Webdev pet. I started Quanta. VOILA! Loads of debug messages, but the application started normally.

I then installed the k3b pet, and the CDRAO pet. K3B starts and although I didn't do anything like burning or whatever, it starts first time.

So, just check to make sure you have the kdelib sfs. Without that nothing in this thread has a chance of working:P

[abushcrafter]

I do though, have the sfs loaded. As for a freash install NOOOOOOOO I have had to do to many of theses Any way this install is nice and stable.

any way I will play around...

[abushcrafter]

this was the other k3b moan:

Could not start process Unable to create io-slave:
klauncher said: Error loading 'kio_file'

cdrdao-1.2.3-i486.pet fixed the cdrdao moan btw.

[abushcrafter]

what where the md5 sums?

[abushcrafter]

when I added back kdeedufull sfs to the load sfs on boot list,
which before the tests I had removed.

Quanta loaded but moaned about these apps of which I think is a path thing/mising:
