Dear Wiki user,

You have subscribed to a wiki page or wiki category on "Fedora Project Wiki" for change notification.

The following page has been changed by KevinKofler:
http://fedoraproject.org/wiki/Docs/Beats/Devel/KDE4DevelopmentPlatform

The comment on the change is:
Write blurb about the KDE 4 Development Platform

New page:
Fedora 8 includes KDE 4.0 (beta) development libraries. The following new packages are provided:
 * kdelibs4: KDE 4 libraries
 * kdepimlibs: KDE 4 PIM libraries
 * kdebase4: KDE 4 core runtime files
These packages can be used to develop, build and run KDE 4 applications within KDE 3 or any other desktop environment.

The kdebase4 package also includes a beta version of the Dolphin file manager as a technology preview. One known issue is that Dolphin currently fails to start up when run from the KDE 3 menu, it works when run from Konsole. There may also be other issues. If you need a stable version of Dolphin, please install the d3lphin package, which is based on KDE 3 and can be safely installed next to kdebase4.

These packages are designed to:
 * comply with the Filesystem Hierarchy Standard (FHS) and
 * be completely safe to install in parallel with KDE 3, including the -devel packages.
In order to achieve this, we made 2 changes to the -devel packages:
 * the library symlinks are installed to /usr/lib(64)/kde4/devel,
 * kconfig_compiler and makekdewidgets have been renamed kconfig_compiler4 and makekdewidgets4, respectively.
These changes should be completely transparent to KDE 4 applications using cmake
to build (the vast majority) because we also patched FindKDE4Internal.cmake to
match these changes.

Note that kdebase4 does '''not''' include the KDE 4 Desktop (kdebase-workspace, i.e. Plasma, KWin version 4 etc.), which is still too incomplete and unstable for daily use and which would conflict with KDE 3.
