[OpenIndiana-discuss] kde on openindiana

[Till Wegmueller]

Hi and welcme

There are unfortunately no packages for kde. We only want desktops that we can support. The Kde community is interested but lacking knowledge and we are restrained by lack of people. 

That said i would personaly be interested if somebody starts porting and will gladly help with knowledge. And running it so we can test for problems. 

Kde should not be hard. Just time consuming because it's a huge amount of software.

best point to start with compiling is https://github.com/openindiana/oi–userland it has all the makefiles to set required environment variables etc so stuff works. The best software to start would be sddm. It is independant and we could test it without the rest of kde.

In any case. I would love to see somebody take this up.

If you have any questions just ask.

If you look through todays/yesterdays mails on the list you will find more links about oi–userland

Betreff: [OpenIndiana-discuss] kde on openindiana

Hello there,
I have tried to find if there is any ready packages for running KDE on
openindiana but the repository i find is for sparc and is no longer
available ...

I probably do not have to tell you that I am quiet new to the solaris world
as you probably already had figured it out. I have used GNU/linux for a
long time and have freeBSD for my zfs server though but am now moving on
deeper in to the Unixverse .. I have done some programming on Z/os with
cobol but that is it.

So if anyone can point me in the right direction... where to find KDE i
would be happie ... or is it that i have to compile it and is it anything
that I have to think about when i compile on Unix compared to if i compile
it on GNU/Linux?


Best Regards
Martin Lindkvist
