Run-Time Dependencies

The kooka utility is a scanning and OCR program. In order for kooka to utilize the OCR capabilities, you must install an OCR engine. kooka provides full OCR support using the KADMOS and GOCR engines and partial support using the Ocrad engine.

The kghostview program requires a ghostscript interpreter from AFPL Ghostscript-8.53 or ESP Ghostscript-8.15.4 to process PS or PDF files.

The kpovmodeler program requires POV-Ray to render 3D scenes.

Installation of Kdegraphics

Install kdegraphics with: 

./configure --prefix=$KDE_PREFIX --disable-debug \
    --disable-dependency-tracking &&
make
[Note]

Note

If you wish to create the API documentation and you have Doxygen and Graphviz installed, make apidox must be done before make install.

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install
