How long it take KDE3 to compile for you?

[Poontos]

My PIII866 laptop started at 4PM EST, now it is 10:47PM EST, still going...

Did I do something wrong? 🙂

cd /usr/ports/x11/kde3
make install clean

Nope, that's normal :Q

I wouldn't know, I have people that do that sort of tedious thing for me =)

 

[Barnaby W. Füi]

I've never compiled it, though I installed it once 😛

 

[Poontos]

Edit: Anyway.

Correct me if I am wrong, but when the "make" command is executed, there is some kind of compiling going on?

How did you go about installing it, and on what OS?

Thanks for replying to my thread, but one has to assume this was just a post-count-increase reply? :brokenheart:

Who cares about post count? This isn't ATOT 🙂

"make" looks in the file "Makefile" in the current directory for instructions about what to do, theoretically you could use it for almost anything. Most of the time, yes, it's used to compile stuff. The way to tell that stuff is being compiled is when you get stuff like:

gmake[2]: Entering directory `/usr/Pkgsrc/sysutils/fam/work/fam-2.6.9/libfam'
/bin/sh ../libtool --mode=compile c++ -DHAVE_CONFIG_H -I. -I. -I.. -I../include -DCONFIG_ETC_CONFIG_PATH=\"/usr/pkg/etc/fam.conf\" -I/usr/pkg/include -O2 -I/usr/pkg/include -c Client.c++

(cd .libs && rm -f libfam.so.0 && ln -s libfam.so.0.0 libfam.so.0)
(cd .libs && rm -f lib

etc etc.

And I installed it once on debian, just with binary packages.
