[RkWard-devel] Failling to build a Debian-Pakckage of RKWard-0.3.6

Hi Thomas,

look no further, we've already taken care of debianization (and hopefully, 
soon RKWard will be included in the official debian archive). You can either 
download the diff.tar.gz in addition to the source.tar.gz and extract the 
debian directory from there.

Or (much easier) add the following to your sources.list:
deb-src http://rkward.sourceforge.net/debian ./
Then you can do a 
# apt-get build-dep rkward
# apt-get source rkward
and build from there.

Finally (easier yet), if you're machine is an i386 compatible, you can add 
this line to your sources.list:
deb http://rkward.sourceforge.net/debian sarge/
and install the backport of the lastest release with
# apt-get install rkward

And unfortunately there is not nice workaround for that. What we do is to 
exclude the improved syntax highlighting definition from the debian package 
to avoid this conflict. Sooner or later, the improved version will be shipped 
with KDE.
For all the other little details look at the files in the diff.tar.gz.

Regards
Thomas
