Using the KDE desktop search tool "kat" on Gentoo

schlesi

Hi,

If you want to use the "kat" desktop search tool, you can find a link to an ebuild file here: http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=22135. Installation instructions can be found here: http://kat.mandriva.com/wiki/index.php/Getting_started#Gentoo_2.

Your need at least kernel 2.6.13 with enabled iNotify-support and should use sqlite-3.2.1-r3 instead of an up-to-date sqlite, otherwise the kde-daemon will crash.

I've tested this with kat 0.6.3.

Kat doesn't seem to index any metainfo on my mp3's. Is this working for you? I have kdemultimedia-kfile-plugins-3.4.1, I don't know what else it would need.

Yes,

ID3-Tags are indexed in kat here. Meanwhile, I've changed to "fresh brewed" svn checkout of kat. This seems to work more stable for me. BTW: I'm using kat on KDE 3.5-beta1.

I'm not an expert on KDE kfile plugins, but I would suppose, too, that kdemultimedia-kfile-plugins should be the right plugin. Do you have installed taglib, which was used by Amarok, for example?

Moved from Desktop Environments to Unsupported Software.
Package not in portage as far as I can tell.
