So, I've been looking for a folder/file/code comparison tool that I
don't have to spend an arm and a leg for and I found references to
Kompare on several web sites as viable alternative, <a
href="https://www.slant.co/options/4394/alternatives/%7Ebeyond-compare-alternatives">https://www.slant.co/options/4394/alternatives/~beyond-compare-alternatives</a>.
Great, I'll check it out. I click the link which sends me here, <a
href="https://www.kde.org/applications/development/kompare/">https://www.kde.org/applications/development/kompare/</a>.
Ok, no download link, I look around the page and see a link titled
'Kompare Homepage'. If there's a download link anywhere, it will be
there. I click the link, which sends me here, <a
href="http://www.caffeinated.me.uk/kompare/">http://www.caffeinated.me.uk/kompare/</a>.
Ah, a download section, but it states,
<blockquote type="cite">If you have the KDE Software Development Kit
(SDK, included with many distributions), you already have Kompare.
Just look for it in your K Menu. If you don't find Kompare there,
go ahead and get a fresh copy from the <a
href="http://www.kde.org">KDE project</a>. Enjoy! </blockquote>
Ok, I don't have KDE SDK, nor do I want KDE, I just want Kompare, so
I click the link for the KDE project, which sends me here, <a
href="https://www.kde.org/">https://www.kde.org/</a>. But there
is no download link, so I once again start searching the page and
then the site. Surely the Products menu will have a link to
Kompare? Nope, but I see a Development Tools link and Kompare was
listed under Development on the second site linked above. Clicking
the Development Tools link sends me here, <a
href="https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tools">https://techbase.kde.org/Development/Tools</a>,
but there's no mention at all on this page about Kompare. Lots of
other tools, but nothing about Kompare.<br>
<br>
So, I return to the kde.org home page and scrolling to the bottom I
see a link, KDE Applications, maybe Kompare it hiding there. Click
the link and it takes me here, <a
href="https://www.kde.org/applications/">https://www.kde.org/applications/</a>.
Hmm, this look vaguely familiar. <br>
<br>
While I appreciate what you are trying to do I'm guessing that the
free/volunteer support is causing a bit of a lag between needing
something done and getting it done. Or support and development for
Kompare has gone the way of the dodo.<br>
<br>
The point of all this? Is it still possible to get a download of
Kompare beyond the source code and compiling it myself?<br>
