Thanks to Alessandro Grassi (alexz391-libero-it).
Please let us know if you build packages for other distros.
The RPM support is still experimental. Please report any problem.
Old standalone version, requires KDevelop to compile.
You should install c6term first, then make sure that it is on your path.
The most recent versions of c6term could break compatibility with K6, if this does happen to you, please submit a bug report on project home.
This is a snapshot of c6term which is known to work with K6: c6term-0.62.0.tar.gz
K6 is developed on QT 3.1.x + KDE 3.1.x. If you use older versions, before you submit a bug report, you should consider upgrading.
To compile and install K6 you should do the usual three-steps process:
$ ./configure --prefix=/usr
$ make
$ make install;
You are free to choose any prefix for ./configure, but it should be in your KDEDIRS, else K6 will not be able to find the icons' images. If you don't want to install it as root, you can do, for example:
(Assuming your username is "user")
$ mkdir /home/user/mySoftware
$ ./configure --prefix=/home/user/mySoftware
$ make
$ make install;
Then put this line in your ~/.bashrc:
export KDEDIRS=/home/user/mySoftware:$KDEDIRSIf you experience troubles during this process, do not write directly to me, but please post a bug report on project home, so others can help you and be helped by the solution we'll find for your case.
