First you have to unpack the downloaded .tar.gz file (if you are using the CVS version, your sources will already be unpacked, so skip this step) to a temporary directory. Do something like this:
mkdir /tmp cd /tmp tar -xzf bibletime.tar.gz cd /tmp/bibletime
(the tar file will have unpacked into a directory named something similar to bibletime)
Now open a terminal and execute the following commands to compile the sources.
$ su $ password ***** $ cd ./Develop/bibletime-2 # Path of source code $ export QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt-2.2.2 # QT 2.2.x source directory> $ export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde2 # KDE2 directory (where KDE2 is installed) $ make -f Makefile.cvs # configure for CVS version $ ./configure # create makefiles $ make # compile BibleTime $ make install # install BibleTime
Path to QTDIR and KDE2 may be different on your computer.
Now open a terminal as a normal user and type /usr/local/kde2/bin/bibletime (if this is in your PATH, you can type bibletime). Bibletime will start.
