-Kde scons template quickstart
-Author: Thomas Nagy
-Date: 2005-04-04
------------------------------------------------
-
-This README file explains basic concepts necessary
-for starting with this application template.
-
-
-** Building and installing **
-
-* To configure the application run "scons configure"
- In some rare cases you may need to add flags:
- scons configure qtincludes=/usr/include/qt3/include kdeincludes=/usr/lib/trinity/include
-
-* After building, launch the application and test the dcop
- interface by using the command (search a bit) :
- dcop
- dcop appname-...
- dcop appname-... instancenumber
- dcop appname-... instancenumber switch_colors
- dcop appname switch_colors
- Or launch kdcop and search in the menus for your program
- name and double-click on 'switch_colors()'
-
-* The usual targets call the following scons commands :
- make -> scons
- make clean -> scons -c
- make install -> scons install
- make uninstall -> scons -c install
- make dist -> scons dist
-
-* To build apps, use TDEprogram, TDEshlib, etc.
- these functions are documented at the bottom of kde.py
- More information can be found in the QUICKSTART
-
-* The scons scripts for building kde applications originate
- from the 'bksys' distribution. It contains several other examples
- that detail the kpart building and the dcop interface
- processing :
- http://www.kde-apps.org/content/show.php?content=19243
-
-* Extending the scons scripts for building the application :
- The scons scripts are actually python scripts, so all the
- usual tricks apply : 'for' and 'while' loops, 'if', 'else' ..
- consult :
- http://www.python.org for more information about python
- http://www.scons.org for more informationabout scons
-
-* Simplify your life : install the project in your home directory for
-testing purposes.
-scons configure prefix=/home/user/dummyfolder/
-In the end when you finished the development you can
-rm -rf /home/user/dummyfolder/
-without fear.
-
-
-** Technologies **
-
-* Build the menus of your application easily
-kde applications now use an xml file (*ui.rc file) to build the menus.
-This allow a great customization of the application. However, when
-programming the menu is shown only after a "make install"
-
-For more details, consult :
-http://devel-home.kde.org/~larrosa/tutorial/p9.html
-http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/xmlui/preface.html
-
-* Use TDEConfig XT to create your configuration dialogs and make
-them more maintainable.
-
-For that, you will need to write two simple configuration files
-in the src directory : <myproject>.kcfg and a <settings>.kcfgc
-The configure.in.in will need to be modified : change the line #MIN_CONFIG(3.0.0)
-into #MIN_CONFIG(3.2.0)
-
-Take an example on the many apps found in the tdegames source package and consult :
-http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/kconfigxt/kconfigxt.html
-
-* With KParts, you can embed other kde components in your program, or make your program
-embeddable in other apps. For example, the kmplayer kpart can be called to play videos
-in your app.
-
-For more details, consult :
-http://www-106.ibm.com/developerworks/library/l-kparts/
-http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/writing-plugins.html
-http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/developing-a-plugin-structure/index.html
-
-* With dcop, you can control your app from other applications
-Make sure to include K_DCOP and a kdcop: section in your .h file
-http://developer.kde.org/documentation/tutorials/dot/dcopiface/dcop-interface.html
-
-
-** Documentation **
-
-* For the translations :
-refer to the file po/SConscript and po/messages.sh
-
-1. Download a patched gettext which can be found at:
- http://public.kde.planetmirror.com/pub/kde/devel/gettext-kde/
-2. Install that gettext in ~/bin/
-3. cd ~/yourproject, export PATH=~/bin:$PATH, export
-TDEDIR=/where_your_TDE3_is
-4. make -f admin/Makefile.common package-messages
-5. make package-messages
-6. Translate the po files (not the pot!!) with kbabel or xemacs
-
-* Do not forget to write the documentation for your kde app
-edit the documentation template index.docbook in doc/
