Installation

If you confirm to the requirements and if you've obtained the package(s), you can continue with the installation section.

KreateCD can be installed on KDE 2.x compatible systems only. If you're building from source you must know what version of KDE you have. You can verify you're version by clicking on the K menu, and then selecting About KDE.... The version number will be in the dialog box which will appear. If you have a KDE 1.x installation you will have to upgrade your KDE installation. If you have confirmed that you have the right version, you can procced with the Install from Source section. If you are installing precompiled binaries, you can proceed with the Precompiled Binaries section.

Installing from Source

You will need:

  • A working installation of the tools: cdrecord, cdparanoia, mkisofs and cdda2wav.

  • A working build environment, with QT 2.2.x or later (including the headers) and KDE 2.x or later (including the headers).

  • The downloaded KreateCD source.

Note

If you've installed KDE from a distribution, it will probably prevent build problems later on if you install the *-devel packages (QT-devel, X-devel and KDE-devel) with your distribution installation tool.

The next step is unpacking the source (like in your /usr/src directory), build it and install it. You can do that by issueing the following commands:

$  cd /usr/src
Replace /**location**/ with the location of the kreatecd archive and kreatecd-***
with the name of the archive.
$  tar xvfz /**location**/kreatecd-***.tar.gz
$  cd kreatecd-***
$  ./configure
$  make
Than as root:
#  make install

That's it, you've installed KreateCD!

Installing from Precompiled Binaries

Installing binary packages is a bit different from installing from source. If you have downloaded the KreateCD RPM, you can issue the installation with:

# rpm kreatecd-*.rpm
Replace the asterix (*) with the version you would like
to install.
