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:

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.
