All kde applications get installed into /usr - is there something special about this that it needs to go into the kdedir? Indeed you are right. I had the misleading opinion that all KDE application should get installed into the KDE directory. If this is not the case this bug can be closed and ignored. Is there any document or link to a discussion which explains why KDE applications go into /usr instead of the kde directory? Is it so that they work even if one upgrades from KDE 3.3 to let's say KDE 3.4? CU Dom http://www.gentoo.org/proj/en/desktop/kde/index.xml explains it. |
KRename which is located in kde-misc/krename is a kde application but does not get installed into the KDE directory. Adding this function to the ebuild should fix the problem: <code> src_compile() { PREFIX="`kde-config --prefix`" kde_src_compile configure make || die } </code> This problem exists with all KRename ebuilds in this directory. Thanks in advance, Dominik Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. emerge krename 2. 3. Actual Results: KRename is installed in /usr Expected Results: KRename should get installed into the users kde directory /usr/kde/3.3/ for most people.
