Krita on Fedora Core 3
Dan Berger was kind enough to help me debug running the binary cvs snapshot of Krita on Fedora Core. In the end, I had to install Fedora on a spare partition (having four install CD's is so retro -- one expects a net install from a live cd nowadays), and recompile Krita using gcc 3.4, but it worked.
So, for the Fedora users:
- Download the snapshot at: http://www.valdyas.org/~boud/krita-current-cvs-fedora.tgz
- Set KDEDIRS to /location/of/snapshot/krita-cvs:$KDEDIRS.
- Run kbuildsycoca
- cd to /location/of/snapshot/krita-cvs
- Start krita with ./krita
(Fedora, by the way, has a quite pretty installer and I like the default look & feel of their version of KDE; nice, sharp fonts, too. And it was a breeze to get a development system up and running for KOffice.)
And now on with Krita. We've got two weeks until the KOffice freeze takes effect and there is much frantic hacking going on.
