</div></div>If I understand you correctly the technique is to download the<br>
entire suite but use ccmake to limit the build to just Krita. Sort of<br>
like ordering a Martini when all you want is an olive.<br>
<br>
Is this what the developers do?<br>
<br>
The other graphics programs I use (Scribus, Gimp, Inkscape etc.)<br>
aren't tied to a particular Office Suite in this manner. It would be<br>
nice if there was a stand-alone variant of Krita that could be<br>
worked on independently from the Koffice suite. Most of Koffice<br>
(KWord, Kpresenter etc.) is frankly junk. Open Office is better<br>
program by program. But Krita is unique among Open Source<br>
graphics programs.<br></blockquote><div><br>If you install Krita from the package manager distributions ususally split the packages so that you can install Krita seperately. It's better to upgrade everything to not have different versions around.<br>
