The K Desktop Environment

2.2. Requirements

In order to successfully compile KDE System Guard, you need the KDE 2.0 and Qt 2.2.x. All required libraries as well as KDE System Guard itself can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/.

The graphical front-end is available on any platform that KDE runs on. The back-end is at the moment available on the following flavors of UNIX:

Linux 2.x

For KDE System Guard to work it is necessary to compile the Linux-Kernel with the /proc Filesystem enabled. This is the default setting and most Linux-Distribution have it already.

FreeBSD

The KDE System Guard program needs to be owned by the kmem group and needs to have the setgid bit set.

Support for other platforms is in preparation. Your help is greatly appreciated.
