2.1 How to obtain KPackageViewer

Recent versions of KPV can be found at ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/, the main ftp site of the KDE project.

The home of KPV is http://www.momentus.com.br/users/hook/kpackviewer.html. Here you can find the latest and updated information about KPV.

2.2 Requirements

In order to successfully compile KPackVIewer, you need at least KDE 1.0 with QT version 1.40 or above (KDE 1.0 QT 1.41 recommended). It is recommended to compile KPV using GCC versions above 2.7.2.3. EGCS may compile KPV fine but some problems were found in some systems.

2.3 Compilation and installation

The usual when using the GNU-Autoconfig version:
% ./configure
% ./make
% ./make install
  and if you want to make KPV handle MIME...
% ./make register

(OBS: this will NOT preserve your old MIME associations...)
