User Notes: http://wiki.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/wiki/kdebase
You should ensure a nogroup group exists on your system before performing the configure command, as kdebase installs a program ($KDE_PREFIX/bin/kdesud) with group ownership of nogroup.
Install kdebase with:
The --sysconfdir parameter must be the same as the command used in the installation of kdelibs.
./configure --prefix=$KDE_PREFIX --sysconfdir=/etc/kde \ --disable-debug --disable-dependency-tracking && make
If you wish to create the API documentation and you have Doxygen and Graphviz installed, make apidox must be done before make install.
Now, as the root user:
make install
There is no real configuration necessary for this package other than to ensure you follow the steps outlined in the last section of this chapter, the section called “Configuring the Core KDE Packages”.
Note that there are two additional packages you can install that are used at run-time for konqueror ioslave protocols. You can install the Mtools package to enable the “floppy” ioslave protocol. This will allow easy access to the floppy disk drives on your system. The hfsplus package can be installed to access HFS+ partitions on a Mac OS system using the “mac” ioslave.
