## 2. Installation

## 2.1 How to obtain KMovisto

The actual version of KMovisto is located at my homepage.

## 2.2 Requirements

KMovisto requires the Qt library version 3.x from Troll Tech (version 1.x will not work and version 2.x may work but is tested only up to release 0.4.0). The Troll Tech web server is located at http://www.troll.no.

Since version 0.4.0 KMovisto also requires the Mesa OpenGL graphics library (libGL.so.1 and libGLU.so.1). Both libraries should be provided by common linux distributions.

KMovisto 0.5.0 and later versions are written in more ANSI/ISO C++ compliant code. Standard C++ has a lot of advantages but it also requires significant code changings so antiquated compilers like gcc 2.9.x have problems with it. If you don't want to upgrade your system environment you should use KMovisto up to release 0.4.0.

## 2.3 Compilation and Installation

Before you begin, be sure that you set the following environment variables:

> `

>     HOME: Your home directory (e. g.: /home/user).
>     QTDIR: The path to the Qt library (e. g.: /usr/lib/qt-3.1).

> `

In order to compile and install KMovisto on your system, type the following in the base directory of the KMovisto distribution:

> `

>     % ./configure
>     % make
>     % make install

> `

By default, the KMovisto executable file will be found in /usr/bin and the docs are installed in /usr/share/doc/kmovisto-0.7.0. Since KMovisto uses

> `

>     autoconf

> `

you should have not trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the author M. Hoverath.

KMovisto icon files will not be installed by the make install command. You will find them in the icons subdirectory in your distribution folder. If you want to use them with KDE, copy kmovisto.xpm to $HOME/.kde/share/icons and kmovisto_mini.xpm to $HOME/.kde/share/icons/mini.

## 2.4 Deinstallation

To remove KMovisto completely you should delete the following files/directories:

> `

>     executable file: /usr/bin/kmovisto
>     documentation directory: /usr/share/doc/kmovisto-0.7.0
>     user settings: $HOME/.kmovisto

> `

(on condition that default install directories are used)
