If you have peeked there already, grab the CVS module qt-copy from anoncvs.kde.org, or a snapshot thereof. Debugging --------- You can use --enable-debug with the configure script, if you want to have debug code in your KDE apps and libs. I recommend to do this, since this is alpha software and this makes debugging things a whole lot easier. More Info --------- Have a look at the individual subdirectories, if you want to know, what versions of apps are included. Please direct any bug reports to our bug list by visiting http://bugs.kde.org. If you have problems compiling and installing this package, contact me at coolo@kde.org. General KDE discussions should go to the KDE mailing list (kde@kde.org). $Id: README,v 1.13 2002/01/22 20:08:32 binner Exp $ .
