Installing the Bibletime Source

Installing the Bibletime Source

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.
