Tarball

http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~zeimetz/kdeviant/kdeviant.tar.gz (actual version: 0.1.5)

Public Subversion (svn) Repository

svn checkout svn://moeffju.net/damn/kdeviant

Tarball (bleeding edge from svn, updated every full hour)

http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~zeimetz/kdeviant/kdeviant-svn.tar.gz

if you want to know the changes, take a look at the svn log

http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~zeimetz/kdeviant/log

Windows-version (binary)

http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~zeimetz/kdeviant/kdeviant_win.rar (last version: 2004-12-18)

Extract it, execute it - that's all
it's using the GPLed QT3.3 from http://kde-cygwin.sf.net, still beta, so it may be a bit buggy
many thanks to *radiositysg

Cygwin-version (binary, dynamically linked)

Qt 3.2: http://ubermutant.net/~moeffju/dAmn/qt.tar.bz2
KDeviant 0.1.5: http://ubermutant.net/~moeffju/dAmn/kdeviant.tar.bz2 (last version: 2004-10-30)
- Extract both archives in /
- You need xorg-x11-base and openbox installed (if you don't want to use openbox, change /usr/bin/kdeviant)
- Run /usr/bin/kdeviant, it should automatically start X
- if you want to build qt for cygwin, take a look at http://kde-cygwin.sf.net Read the docs carefully!

MacOSX-Version (binary, statically linked)

http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~zeimetz/kdeviant/kdeviant-macosx.tar.gz (last version: 2004-10-31)

extract the tar.gz in /Applications. After that you should be able to start it from finder like every other application.
many thanks to *jetpack

HowTo

To build the client:

   wget http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~zeimetz/kdeviant/kdeviant.tar.gz
   tar zxv kdeviant.tar.gz
   cd kdeviant
   ./build.sh

    (Use http://www.student.informatik.tu-darmstadt.de/~zeimetz/kdeviant/kdeviant-svn.tar.gz if you want the latest code from svn without using svn. Then you have to untar kdeviant-svn.tar.gz)

To start the client:

   ./kdeviant.sh

Notes:

Make sure you have QMAKESPEC set correctly (in FreeBSD it would probably be freebsd-g++), as well as QTDIR. On my system it was /usr/X11R6

[fluffy@aiko ~/custom/kdeviant]$ export QMAKESPEC=freebsd-g++
[fluffy@aiko ~/custom/kdeviant]$ export QTDIR=/usr/X11R6
[fluffy@aiko ~/custom/kdeviant]$ ./build.sh
[fluffy@aiko ~/custom/kdeviant]$ ./kdeviant.sh
