Hi!
I have decided to take care once and for all of this nasty kderequired
location/relocation problem. Postponing this would have only made
matters progressively worse, as new libraries were being added to
that jumbo bundle.
So, i have started to re-build every single package in kderequired.
Not only the installation of this package was a major pain for
everyone, but i discovered that GTK has undergone two major bug fix
updates since March (which is what the current 3.1.3 release of KDE
relied upon).
>From now on, the kderequired package will install under /opt/csw/*.
I am not planning on changing the install root directories of KDE and
QT per se (they will stay /opt/[kde|qt]-<version.major.minor>,
because i think that is a pretty non-intrusive and practical way of
installing them, by giving everyone the opportunity to try them out
first, without having to uninstall a previous version.
Also, from now on, i will be buliding everything with Forte 8 (as
opposed to Forte 7, which is what i had used until now). This is for
Solaris 8.
This will take me a few weeks to complete. So, i am kindly asking
everyone to bear with me while i finish this.
Thank you very much to everyone for your support and patience. :-)
