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

[Brendan Coupe]

I'm running KMM 1.0.5 from the Fedora repositories (because I can't get the
CVS version to compile in Fedora 13) and the SVN version (3.98.x) on the
same computer. This also works with the CVS version and the SVN version (I
did this in Fedora 12).

The trick is to install KMM 1 first, then install KMM 3.98.

To run KMM 1: /usr/bin/kmymoney2

To run KMM 3.98: /usr/bin/kmymoney

I think KMM 1 creates a sym link /usr/bin/kmymoney that points
at /usr/bin/kmymoney2 which gets replaced with a binary when you install KKM
3.98.
