<RESOLVED> KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

[gnowak]

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

Coool!

I would love to see a 64 bit version of Kdirstat in the Natty repositories :-)

I followed the instructions at:

A single line installation:

git clone [url]http://grumpypenguin.org/~josh/kdirstat.git;[/url] cd kdirstat; mkdir build; cd build; cmake ..; sudo make install

It works like a charm!

Remark it is called "k4dirstat" now!

Happy coding dudes and thanks

Thanks ubuntuku!
Your .deb works fine in my 32 bit install.

But for the 64 bit install I haven’t been able to go the git route and end up with nearly the same errors as reported by PattiMichelle

[claydoh]

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

do you have kdelib5-dev installed?

You'll need at least "kdelibs5-dev" package (and it's dependencies) installed to build from source.

EDIT: claydo(g) beat me to it

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

Good point to install kdelibs5-dev, I came further.

Next came a message libkonq5-dev was also missing.

Now the process stops here:

What to do about the missing zlib.h?

[kubicle]

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

What to do about the missing zlib.h?

Try installing "zlib1g-dev"

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

Resolved +1

Thanks all!

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

I cannot use the deb file, since it does not match my amd63 system.

Baobab seems quite ok, tho, but I cannot find it in the Kickoff Application Launcher. I have to start it in a terminal with

baobab &

Why does it not show up in the launcher?

[Teunis]

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

I sincerely hope it's an AMD64 system

When you follow gnowak's single line installation AFTER ensuring you installed the libraries I had missing you should be gold.

[joneall]

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

Yes, it's 64.

I tried gnowak's recipe. After 2 false starts and installing git and cmake, I got the following error:

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

Yes, exactly the same error PattyMichelle and I had.

For me it was fixed after following claydoh's advice.

So you also need to install kdelib5-dev, libkonq5-dev and zlib1g-dev.
Then try again.

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

just created deb package for kdirstat, you can dl it here:
http://dl.dropbox.com/u/16223945/kdi...011-1_i386.deb

Please test it and let me know how it goes

Won't install under my 11.04 x64

Re: &lt;RESOLVED&gt; KDirStat substitute - recommendations?

Hmmm.... It's not building for me... Now sure what's wrong here...

For me it was fixed after following claydoh's advice.

So you also need to install kdelib5-dev, libkonq5-dev and zlib1g-dev.
Then try again.

... turns out it's "kdelibs5," not "kdelib5" ... this matters because synaptic/adept/etc. are a little on the braindead side...
OK, so after getting the names right, I see the -dev versions aren't installed - now they are and (of course) it built!

Now, how to run it? I don't see it anywhere... no menu entry...
