kde and koffice selective build (DO_NOT_COMPILE)

[Ian Goldby]

The unofficial DO_NOT_COMPILE thread

There have been a number of threads on DO_NOT_COMPILE variables for KDE builds. This thread attempts to pull as much of that as possible together. If you can fill in some of the gaps, please post the information below. (We want the name to put in your DO_NOT_COMPILE string, a description, and anything that depends on it.) Do not post support questions.

When you emerge kde and koffice, you don't have to build everything if you don't want everything. You can set the environment variable DO_NOT_COMPILE="kugar kpresenter" for example to exclude building these particular applications.

KDE 3.2
kdebase - TODO

kdepim
kdepim has many components and a lot of dependencies. If you are not careful with DO_NOT_COMPILE, the build will fail.

There seems to be some overlap here with kdepim (kmail and knode). Can anyone enlighten?

kdeutils - TODO

koffice 1.3

• kword - Word processor
  
• kspread - Spread sheet
  
• karbon - Vector drawing package
  
• kpresenter - Presentation (slides) software
  
• kformulat - Equation editor
  
• kugar - Database report generator
  
• krita - Painting program; not yet in 1.3 (?)
  

I got these from the configure.in file. There doesn't seem to be an exact correspondance between these and the application names in the release announcement - e.g. apparently there is no DO_NOT_COMPILE for kivio, but if you know different, or of any other corrections to this list, please contribute them below.

Setting DO_NOT_COMPILE

You can either set the DO_NOT_COMPILE variable from the command line (e.g. # DO_NOT_COMPILE="kugar" emerge koffice) or add it to your /etc/make.conf file.

Please do not post questions to this thread. Support questions should go into the Desktop Environments forum.
