Hur man installerar KDE 4 i OS X

Denna (kort) tutorial är vid inget hjälpmedel `en endast' långt som installerar KDE 4 i OS X. Emellertid är det antagligen det lättast. Uppehälleläsning för en steg-för-steg walkthrough och en koppla ihop av disclaimers.

Det finns några saker som jag bör omnämnande upp bekläda. De är:

  1. Gentlemannen, som skapade dessa, paketerar varnar dig: ”Kan de inte fungera. De kan inte ens installation. Vi är inte ansvariga för några problem, eller systemproblem som detta kan orsaka.”,
  2. Denna är en alfabetisk frigörare - om även du får delar av den arbetet, är det nätt osannolikt dig ska får alla av det som är funktionsdugligt.
  3. Det är en 1.5GB bittorrent nedladdningen för det fullt paketerar. En full installation ska tar upp 12-13GB av utrymme på ditt drev. Det är inte skrivar-nolla. Med sagd det, kan du skräddarsy installationen för att inte inkludera paketerar dig ska aldrig bruk, som ska resultat i mindre diskutrymme som användes. Du kan också använda Monolingual att ta bort de onödiga arkitekturerna (PowerPC, om du har en Intel CPU, Intel, om du har en PowerPC CPU), om dig egentligen vet vad du gör. Förmiddag som I inte anknyter till Monolingual ämnar på, det kan fullständigt röra upp din installation för OS X, om du använder den felaktigt - betraktar sig yourself mycket varnat.
  4. Om du finner sig som frågar ”varför gör även detta?”, det enda svaret som jag kan komma upp med, är ”, därför att det är möjligheten”. För en betydligt funktionellare version av KDE på din Mac skulle jag föreslår genom att använda paralleller eller VMWare för att installera en KDE baserad Linux fördelning.

Så når det har granskat, resonerar alla av ovannämnt för att inte installera KDE 4, om du som är stilla, önskar att fortsätta, är här vad som ska göras.

  1. Besök http://ranger.users.finkproject.org/kde/index.php/Home och nedladda allt paketera (everything-2007xxxx.dmg.torrent). Det tog omkring en timme för mig till nedladdningen på en kabel-/bredbandanslutning. Glöm inte att kärna ur spara, efter din nedladdning har avslutat.
  2. Öppna .dmgen sparar. Sedan det är enormt det ska taken en stund för att verifiera - du styrkan önskar att klicka överhopp knäppas, om du är bestämd att spara är färdig.
  3. Lokalisera kde.mpkg spara och dubblett-klicka det (det ska är rättvist kde om du döljer f8orlängningar).

  5. Ska barkassen för installation trollkarlen - klicka Fortsätta att få startat.

  9. Review the Software License Agreement (yeah right) and again click Continue.

  11. When prompted, click Agree.

  13. Select the drive you wish to install KDE on, and click Continue.

  15. Now you can de-select packages that you don’t want to install. I skipped KDE Educational, but you may want it. After you’ve decided which packages you want to install, click Install.

  17. Enter your password when prompted.

  19. Go grab a cup of coffee. The (almost) full installation that I did took about 22 minutes to complete.

  21. And when it’s done, click Close.

  23. Now it’s time to give it a shot - cross your fingers and navigate to Mac HD -> opt -> kde4 -> bin and double-click one of the applications.

  25. I was able to launch Amarok, but I couldn’t get it to actually play music files.

  27. Konqueror worked, but would crash when I tried to use it as a web browser (it worked fine as a file manager).

  29. KWrite worked flawlessly.

  31. And finally - a screenshot of KOrganizer, KWrite and KMines all running on my OS X desktop.

  33. Get used to using Force Quit when KDE apps stall. Which I found they frequently did.

  35. If you find that it’s not stable enough for you, but you’re determined to get KDE 4 running in OS X, you can try building it yourself. I have no idea how long it would take to manually build everything, but it took me over 12 hours to compile just Amarok and its dependencies in OS X (and it didn’t even work when all was said and done).

    Please, you should add (in the very first sentence!) that this is not a KDE4 “final” install, but one of the very first *Alpha* releases. The way it reads now, it sounds a bit unfair…

    And it will still be a while before a final, stable release is available for Mac OS X users….

    2 Ross McKillop 07.23.07 at 1:26 pm

    Hi Kurt -

    Item #2 - “This is an alpha release - even if you get parts of it working, it?s pretty unlikely you?ll get all of it working.”

    I think between that and the other ‘disclaimers’ it’s pretty clear that this isn’t final, isn’t stable and really only for folks that want to experiment a bit.

    3 Gregory Lee 08.30.07 at 10:06 pm

    I installed this on an external drive (13 gigs is a bit too much space for something that I am planning to mess around with (as opposed to using it every day) And it worked pretty well, however, as it is an alpha release, I have no doubt that there are problems. (Somewhere)

    PS: Great tutorials! Love the site!

    @Kirby:

    If you want to delete everything, go to /opt/ and delete the kde4, kde4-deps and qt4 folders (and all of their sub-folders). If you have any problem deleting those, open a Terminal and type:

    sudo rm -rf /opt/kde4
    (enter your password when prompted)
    sudo rm -rf /opt/kde4-deps
    sudo rm -rf /opt/qt4

    Then delete the original file - kde.mpkg. That should wipe all of the KDE related files from your drive.

    At least you got icons on your applications.

    I’ve got Leopard on my Mac, I wonder if that is my issue? Anyways, I could get applications to start but without any icons at all. Simple apps worked great, like Kate, but Amarok was a crashing beast.

    I’m exited to see this happening and can’t wait for it to get all ported to OS X. Kate is a great text editor for programming and Amarok beats the pants off of iTunes, imo.

    but if you open the console every startup you will read a lot of think like

    04/09/08 09:02:12 com.apple.launchd[86] (org.freedesktop.dbus-session[211]) posix_spawnp(”/opt/kde4-deps/bin/dbus-daemon”, …): No such file or directory
    so he try to start it up……

    how can i put this off?

    @skill

    Check the /Library/LaunchDaemons/ folder for a file w/ “kde” somewhere in it. Delete that file. I *think* that’s where mine was. There’s also a “hidden” folder in your /Users/your-user-name/ folder called .kde - it’s not big, but if you want to really get rid of all of KDE, delete it too.

    9 Ross McKillop 09.04.08 at 12:53 am

    re: my previous comment - skill sent me a followup email (I mailed him directly) - the file in /Library/LaunchDaemons/ is org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

    Remove it, reboot, and delete the .kde folder in your home directory (and the other folders I mentioned in comment #5) and KDE should be gone entirely. You can also use Spotlight and/or Google Desktop search to look for files w/ “kde” in them to make sure you got it all.

    10 skill 09.04.08 at 3:06 am

    in /Library/LaunchAgents/ is org.freedesktop.dbus-session.plist

    thanks

    What background are you using? I’d like it, if you’re willing to share.
