3.1 Getting KDirStat

If you don't have it already, you can get KDirStat from the KDE FTP server or read more about it and about the KDE project and other KDE applications at the KDE web site.

I also try to maintain the KDirStat home page where you can expect the latest version of KDirStat along with news about it and a change log. I am a firm believer of change logs and good documentation; I don't want to waste anybody's time downloading and compiling a version that doesn't include something new that they really want. I'll try my best describing what changed so you can figure out whether or not it is worth while going through the hassles of downloading, unpacking, compiling and installing.

3.2 Requirements

The current version of KDirStat is based on KDE 1.1.

I hope I can find the time to do a KDE 2.0 port soon, but right now it runs with KDE 1.x only.

3.3 Compilation and Installation

Compiling KDirStat is very easy. The following should do it:


% ./configure
% make
% make install

That should do it! Should you run into any problems, please report them to the author
