Install kdiff3

0) Unpack KDiff3*.tar.gz 1) Run "./configure kde4" or "./configure qt4" from the KDiff3 source directory. 2) Follow instructions If it doesn’t work continue reading.
for KDE4: For installation on most distributions you usually also need these packages (names as on opensuse):. g++ (version 4.2 or newer). libqt4-devel (Qt4-libs, version 4.8.0 or newer). libkde4-devel (KDE4 Header files and development libraries). libkonq-devel (optional, needed for the kdiff3-plugin, if not installed then the contextmenu plugin for konqueror won’t be built.). cmake (>2.6, checks dependencies and creates the appropriate Makefiles for your system). Building KDiff3 with Qt4-libs, but without KDE. (End of KDiff3 with Qt4-instructions).
for KDE4: For installation on most distributions you usually also need these packages (names as on opensuse):
g++ (version 4.2 or newer)
libqt4-devel (Qt4-libs, version 4.8.0 or newer)
libkde4-devel (KDE4 Header files and development libraries)
libkonq-devel (optional, needed for the kdiff3-plugin, if not installed then the contextmenu plugin for konqueror won’t be built.)
cmake (>2.6, checks dependencies and creates the appropriate Makefiles for your system) Typically in a terminal (e.g. konsole) you cd into the kdiff3-directory and run "./configure kde4". This script is essentially the same as these commands: mkdir releaseKde cd releaseKde # Find out your KDE4-directory and note the result kde4-config --prefix # create Makefile, replace <KDE4-prefix> with the prior result cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<KDE4-prefix> # run make (compile and link) make # install as root user sudo make install Now KDiff3 should be ready to use. Type "kdiff3" to start it. There should also be a entry in your KDE-start menu in "(Applications->)Development". For creating a debug version: mkdir debug cd debug # Find out your KDE4-directory and note the result kde4-config --prefix cmake .. -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=<KDE4-prefix> -DCMAKE_BUILD_TYPE=debugfull make sudo make install The <KDE4-prefix> depends on your distribution: The command "kde4-config --prefix" should tell you. - For opensuse 12 use "/usr".
Building KDiff3 with Qt4-libs, but without KDE
for Linux/Un*x
for Windows
for Mac The version 0.9.98 requires Qt 4.8.0 or newer (from http://qt-project.org/) for compilation. Recommended: Get Qt with QtCreator and use the kdiff3.pro file in src-QT4. (should also work with Qt5) From command line: Install a working set of Qt-libs. Build-instructions (Un*x, Linux, Mac): Assuming Qt is correctly installed run "./configure qt4" which essentially does the same as: - mkdir releaseQt - cd releaseQt - qmake ../src-QT4/kdiff3.pro - make (or "gmake", or "mingw32-make" etc.) Debugging with MinGW under Windows: - Use Qt Creator as debugger frontend! Building KDiff3 (Qt4) for Mac OSX: 1) Install XCode 2) Install Qt with QtCreator for Mac 3) Proceed again by opening the kdiff3.pro file Creating and installing the translation messages The po directory contains translations from the KDE-translation teams. If you use the Qt-only-version of KDiff3, then the installation described above won't install translations automatically. To create and install the translations: 1) cd .../kdiff3-0.9.98/po 2) sh create_qm_files install (asks for a super user password) Just to create the files in the po directory (as needed for the windows version): 2) sh create_qm_files local
