I just finished compiling from source. I took perhaps 8 hours on a 550 Mhz
K6-3, while I was doing other work in X. Pay special attention to setting
the QTDIR environment variable. Compliled and installed like a champ.
./configure
make
make install
for all the source directories, including Qt 2.2.1.
There are still a couple bugs. We're not talking anything as bad as Gnome
1 here, but the screen drawing is broken on my machine on a
mouse-click-drag. Purely cosmetic, but I expect it will get fixed soon.
General impression: Slick! Konqueror is much improved as a browser. As a
filemanager it is still IMO best of breed. My kdelinks didn't make the
transition well, so I have to make them again. The look has changed much
more than the feel, my guess is that if you liked KDE before, you'll like
it now. If you hated it before, you'll still hate it. My machine has
plenty of Mhz and RAM, so I didn't get too much of a feel for how much of
a pig it is for system resources. I suspect, as before, if your machine is
underpowered, go with a stand alone WM. I like afterstep or icewm for
that, but tastes vary wildly.
The people on the FreeBSD-questions list seem to be having more trouble
compiling, and the results seem more buggy.
