Thank you for downloading Kiax. Here is a brief instruction on compiling and installing Kiax. Requirements: kiax requires qt3.2 or higher installed on your system. You should be root to do the following!!! 1. Go to temp directory where you can compile. Usually under /tmp. Copy the downloaded file there. cp /path/to/kiax/kiax-x.x.tar.bz2 /tmp cd /tmp 2. Unzip, untar the kiax source archive buzip2 kiax-x.x.tar.bz2 tar -xf kiax-x.x.tar This should create a sub-directory named kiax 3. Go to the source directory. cd kiax 5. Run configure ./configure This should execute qmake to make the necessary makefiles. If you wish to install directory other than /usr/local/byou should run `configure' with --prefix=/usr/local (note not slash at the end!!!). If you are not sure where is the most convenient for your OS you may try the --targetos= parameter. Supported oses: redhat suse mandrake slackware debian So if you wish to install for Fedora for instance do the following: ./configure --targetos=redhat 6. Compile kiax Type: make 7. Install kiax make install If you no longer wish to use kiax and you have kept the original sources go to the source folder and type: make uninstall Have fun! Velislav
