[Kmymoney-devel] build question - how to have two two versions at the same time

[Jack]

Hello all,

I would really love to be able to have two different versions of KMM  
"installed" at the same time.  I use the quotes because I what I really  
want is to have the distro provided version actually installed, but be  
able to compile and run one or more other versions - such as the latest  
svn.  I know you can actually run kmymoney/kmymoney from within the  
build directory, but without doing the "make install" many of the  
necessary files won't be found, so you either don't have them or you  
get the ones from the real installed version.

I assume this isn't really a KMM problem specifically, but a more  
general KDE issue.  Does anybody know if this has been addressed or if  
there are any suggested approaches?  I know I could set up virtual  
machines, but it seems like a lot of overhead.  I wonder if I could set  
it up with a chroot environment, but there is enough I'm not sure about  
that I haven't bothered trying yet.

Thanks for any ideas, including where in the KDE forums or mailing  
lists would be a better place to discuss this.

Jack
