Description Darin McBride 2004-02-25 06:37:09 UTC 
Version:           1.3 (using KDE KDE 3.1.3)
Installed from:    RedHat RPMs
Compiler:          gcc version 3.2.3 20030502 (Red Hat Linux 3.2.3-20)  
OS:          Linux

It would be significantly more convenient for all KDE apps to be able to determine where KDE itself is, and provide that as the default for --prefix rather than defaulting somewhere else which may require the user to set KDEDIRS or something silly when that's not what they want.  Of course, a printout to the screen saying what the default is would be nice, too.
Comment 1 David Faure 2004-09-27 18:03:44 UTC 
This is the case now - `which kde-config` is used at configure time, if possible, and there's a warning about KDEDIRS if setting it is required, at the end of configure.

checking for kde-config... /mnt/devel/kde/kdedir/bin/kde-config
checking where to install... /mnt/devel/kde/kdedir (as returned by kde-config)
