The K Desktop Environment

3.5. From Source Code

If you want to build KWord from source code, you should:

  1. Ensure your computer has all the required software installed and in working condition (excluding KOffice of course). You can find the system requirements by following this link: System Requirements.

  2. Download the KOffice source file (***insert filenames (srpm and tar) here***) into a temporary directory.

  3. If the filename ends in .src.rpm (Redhat Package Management file), the source code for KOffice can be installed with:
     $ rpm -U filename
    If the filename ends in .src.tar.gz or .src.tgz (a tarball file), the source code for KOffice can be installed with:
     $ tar -xzvf filename

  4. The source code for KOffice should now be installed on your system.
