Debugging --------- You can use --enable-debug with the configure script, if you want to have debug code in your KDE apps and libs. If debugging is not a concern, --disable-debug will explicitly avoid compiling additional debugging functions. More Info --------- Have a look at the individual subdirectories, if you want to know, what versions of apps are included. Please direct any bug reports to our bug list by visiting http://bugs.trinitydesktop.org. General KDE discussions should go to the KDE mailing list (kde@kde.org).
