Installation of <application>aRts</application>
Install aRts by running the
following commands:
./configure --prefix=&kde-dir; --disable-debug \
--disable-dependency-tracking &&
make &&
make install &&
ln -sfn kde-&kde-version; /opt/kde
Another configure option is --enable-final.
This option can speed up the build process, but requires a lot of memory. If
you have less than 256MB of RAM, this option may cause swapping and
significantly slow compilation.
Command explanations
--prefix=&kde-dir; : This option tells the
process to install the package in &kde-dir;. We put aRts here because this
package is required before installing KDE.
--disable-debug : This option causes the
system to be compiled without debugging code.
--disable-dependency-tracking : This option speeds
up one time builds.
ln -sfn kde-&kde-version; /opt/kde : This parameter creates
a link for access to KDE. If a newer version of
KDE is released, the new
system can be built by changing the --prefix location
and then set up by changing the link as this parameter does.
Configuring aRts
Configuration Information
The library directory /opt/kde/lib
should appear in /etc/ld.so.conf
so that ldd can find the shared libraries. The following command will add it
if it is missing:
cat >> /etc/ld.so.conf << "EOF"
# Begin kde addition to /etc/ld.so.conf
/opt/kde/lib
# End kde addition
EOF
ldconfig
