But kab intends to do more, it tries to be +a central database to store personal information for as much KDE +applications as possible. + +To compile this subdirectory, your C++ compiler will be stressed a little. +You need either a recent version of gcc (2.7.2 or later) or egcs (1.0.2 or +later), or another C++ compiler that supports the following things: + +* error free (!) creation of template instances, +* a STL implementation that is similar to either the one provided by gcc +2.7 or the one provided by egcs/pgcc or gcc >=2.8 (HP or SGI based). + +Please note that egcs / pgcc 1.0.2 creates errors in the binary when you +compile the sources using optimization level 6 (-O6). Stick to -O2, and +it should work. Note: This seems to be solved since gcc 2.95. + +Since this directory provides only the kab library, you will have to +install the kdeutils package, that contains the sources for kab's binary, +also. + + Mirko Boehm, March 2000. + +PS: The situation described above seems to be solved in current +distributions. All up-to-date compilers do quite well on the sources. + Mirko Boehm, Mai 2001. -- cgit v1.2.1
