<title>KDE4 Pre-installation Configuration</title>
<sect2><title>Installing in /usr</title>
<para>One option is to put <application>KDE4</application> into the
<filename class='directory'>/usr</filename> hierarchy. This creates a
simpler setup but makes it more difficult to try multiple versions of
<application>KDE</application>.</para>
<screen><userinput>export &kde4-dir-var;=/usr</userinput></screen>
</sect2>
<sect2><title>Installing in /opt</title>
<para>A method of building multiple versions installs
<application>KDE4</application> in the <filename
class='directory'>/opt</filename> hierarchy:</para>
<screen><userinput>export &kde4-dir-var;=/opt/kde4</userinput></screen>
<para>If you are not installing <application>KDE4</application> in
<filename class="directory">/usr</filename>, you will need to make some
additional configuration changes. Best practice is to add those to your
system or personal profile:</para>
<screen><userinput>cat &gt; /etc/profile.d/kde4.sh &lt;&lt; "EOF"
# Begin /etc/profile.d/kde4.sh
&kde4-dir-var;=/opt/kde4
KDE4DIR=&kde4-dir;
KDEDIR=&kde4-dir;
pathappend &kde4-dir;/bin PATH
pathappend &kde4-dir;/lib/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH
pathappend &kde4-dir;/share/pkgconfig PKG_CONFIG_PATH
pathappend &kde4-dir;/share XDG_DATA_DIRS
pathappend /etc/kde4/xdg XDG_CONFIG_DIRS
export KDE4_PREFIX KDE4DIR KDEDIR
# End /etc/profile.d/kde4.sh
EOF
</userinput></screen>
<para>Add to your <filename>/etc/ld.so.conf</filename>:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>cat &gt;&gt; /etc/ld.so.conf &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># Begin kde4 addition
/opt/kde4/lib
# End kde4 addition</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>
<indexterm zone="kde4-pre-install-config">
<primary sortas="e-etc-ld.so.conf">/etc/ld.so.conf</primary>
</indexterm>
<para>Add to your <filename>/etc/man_db.conf</filename>:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>cat &gt;&gt; /etc/man_db.conf &lt;&lt; "EOF"
<literal># Begin kde4 addition
MANDATORY_MANPATH /opt/kde4/man
# End kde4 addition</literal>
EOF</userinput></screen>
<indexterm zone="kde4-pre-install-config">
<primary sortas="e-etc-man_db.conf">/etc/man_db.conf</primary>
</indexterm>
<para>Several KDE4 packages install files into D-BUS and polkit directories.
When installing KDE4 in a location other than <filename class="directory">/usr</filename>,
D-BUS and polkit need to find these files. The easiest way to achieve this is to create
the following symlinks (as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user):</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>install -d /opt/kde4/share &amp;&amp;
ln -svf /usr/share/dbus-1 /opt/kde4/share &amp;&amp;
ln -svf /usr/share/polkit-1 /opt/kde4/share</userinput></screen>
<tip>
<para>Sometimes, the installation paths are coded into installed files.
This is the reason why <filename class="directory">/opt/kde4</filename>
is used as installation prefix instead of <filename
class="directory">/opt/kde-&kde4-version;</filename>. After installing
<application>KDE4</application>, you may rename the directory and create
a symlink:</para>
<screen role="root"><userinput>mv /opt/kde{4,-&kde4-version;} &amp;&amp;
ln -vsf kde-&kde4-version; /opt/kde4</userinput></screen>
<para>Later on, you may want to install other versions of
<application>KDE4</application>. To do that, just remove the symlink and
use <filename class="directory">/opt/kde4</filename> as ithe prefix again
(<application>KDE4</application> must not be started). Which version of
<application>KDE4</application> you use depends only on where the symlink
points to. No other reconfiguration will be needed.</para>
</tip>
<!-- Moved to QT4
<sect2><title>The QT4DIR variable</title>
<para>Some additional packages which are based on
<application>Qt4</application> will be installed. One of them is
<application>Phonon</application>, a direct replacement of the implementation
which comes with <application>Qt4</application>. It's recommended placing
such libraries in the same hierarchy where <application>Qt4</application>
itself resides. Later on, it is refered to as <envar>QT4DIR</envar>. If you have
placed <application>Qt4</application> in <filename
class='directory'>/usr</filename>, set <envar>QT4DIR</envar>:</para>
<screen><userinput>export QT4DIR=/usr</userinput></screen>
<para>Alternativly, <application>Qt4</application> is often placed in the
<filename class='directory'>/opt</filename> hierarchy:</para>
<screen><userinput>export QT4DIR=/opt/qt-&qt4-version;
export PATH=$QT4DIR/bin:$PATH</userinput></screen>
