Kickoff source code.
Okay SuSE released 10.2 Beta which means the source code for "Kickoff" is available if one knows what to download. Does anyone know which RPM package to download to get a copy of the software source code for Kickoff?

From what I've read, the latest openSUSE 10.2 release is Alpha 3. Alpha 4 is scheduled to be released in September, and Alpha 5 in October. No Beta release yet.
About Kickoff, it might be the new K Menu of KDE 4. so we can probably hope that it will be made available soon.
OS: Kubuntu 6.06 LTS (Dapper Drake) | KDE 3.5.3
Computer Specs: AMD Sempron 2200 1.5Ghz | VIA KM266 Pro 8235 chipset | nVidia GeForce MX 4000 128MB DDR-RAM 32-bit AGP 8x

Yeah I jumped ahead on calling it Beta, it is in Alpha. Regrdless, I want to get my hands on the Kickoff sorce code it was written to work on KDE 3.5.X and I want to see if I can compile it for my system. Whether it makes it to KDE 4 or not isn't my issue. I think it will honestly. I'm an impatient S.O.B. and I want it now.

Hi,
Ive found Kickoff source at the following link.
svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/suse_kickoff
Managed to download everything, ran ./configure and that came out fine then in the make process it stopped and started complaining about not having the beagle source.
I was wondering if maybe someone here could try this and give me feedback as to how you did it and if you were successful.
Im running SuSE 10.1 OSS on a P4 2Ghz, 512mb PC133 and a GeForce FX5500
Thanks

Downloading source now.
I'm getting the source files now and will see how they compile for me. Though I am using fedora 5.

Seems to be a problem with KWin, but I have no clue on what could be wrong, how do I make it a member of 'NET'?
How to compile
Hi
I have downloaded the kickoff source too but cannot compile. There is no configure script, are you able to tell me how you go about compiling the cvs downloaded source. Cheers
SuSE 10.1, KDE 3.5.5
RE: How to compile
I was hoping they would make it part of 3.5.5 but no such luck. I never coulod get it to compile. It would get about of a quarter way through and there was something missing. I just gave up for the moment and I was hoping to find a how to eventually. Still haven't though.

RE: How to compile
I cant get it to compile because there is no configure script, I type "./configure" and it replies no configure script. I navigate to the directory and suse_kickoff directory and it isnt there. Can you give me a hint on where the configure scipt is?
SuSE 10.1, KDE 3.5.5
RE: How to compile
You didn't get everything then. When downloading from the SVN you need to do it one sub-folder at a time not the entire kickoff folder at once. I had same issue till I realized that. the configure script is in there but like I said it just won't compile because I'm missing something and then I get a whole slew of errors that come by to fast and to many for the buffer and what caused it gets lost.

RE: How to compile
I have been to the websvn via my browser and I cannot see a configure script in the suse-kickoff directory, so is it there, or does it show up once I have dl'd the source to my machine?
SuSE 10.1, KDE 3.5.5
RE: How to compile
It was there when I downloaded it. They may have removed it due to errors. That happens a lot with SVN builds. Be patient it will probably show up in a couple of days.

RE: How to compile
Conan impatient, want latest and greatest now.
Sigh, I may just throw caution to the wind and install SuSE 10.1 alpha 5, even though the beta 1 is due soon.
Thanks for the help bud
SuSE 10.1, KDE 3.5.5
KDEBase
To use
ickoff you'll have to recompile your Kdebase... Use another computer to do it and compile it for your system then.
(got this info from apachelogger)
greetz
I just downloaded from svn, it seems like this is entire kdebase folder, so I think you need to compile everything in it, but then from which folder should I run make install to install just the new kickoff?
