Warning, /system/kalternatives/INSTALL is written in an unsupported language. File is not indexed.

0001 Kalternatives is a KDE 4 application, so you need KDE 4 to run it.
0002 
0003 To build Kalternatives, you need a KDE 4 development environment.
0004 If you are using a distribution, please refer to its packages for the task.
0005 In any case, take a look at http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started
0006 for generic build instructions.
0007 
0008 Kalternatives requires kdelibs >= 4.1 (but should work also with KDE 4.0,
0009 please contact me in case).
0010 
0011 To build it, you can do:
0012 $ mkdir build
0013 $ cd build
0014 $ cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=$(kde4-config --prefix) -DKALTERNATIVES_DISTRO=type ..
0015 $ make
0016 
0017 The 'type' for the KALTERNATIVES_DISTRO variable depends on the target
0018 distribution:
0019 * dpkg
0020   - Debian
0021   - Ubuntu and derivates
0022 * rpm
0023   - Mandriva
0024   - openSUSE
0025 * rpm_2
0026   - Fedora
0027 
0028 To install, either do one of:
0029 $ sudo make install
0030 $ su -c "make install"
0031 $ make install
0032 depending on how you installed KDE.
0033 
0034 To run Kalternatives, you must run it as root, so either
0035 $ sudo kcmshell4 kalternatives
0036 $ su -c "kcmshell4 kalternatives"
0037 will do it.
