Building KSVG2

1. Make sure agg2 library is installed. Newer versions of the agg23 library have pkgconfig support, which we rely on. Here are instructions for building it out of AntiGrain cvs:
   

         export CVSROOT=:pserver:anonymous@cvs.sourceforge.net:/cvsroot/vector-agg
         cvs login
         cvs co agg23
         cd agg23 && ./autogen.sh && ./configure
         make && make install
         

   Alternatively, you can download recent agg23 source packages here. After unpacking the package, go to the agg23 root dir and use these lines:
   

         ./autogen.sh && ./configure
         make && make install
         

2. Make sure you have obtained the KSVG2 code.
   Then follow these instructions to build KSVG2:

     cd /root_of_local_svn_repositories
     cd kdenonbeta
     make -f Makefile.cvs
     ./configure $YOUR_OPTIONS
     cd kcanvas
     make
     su -c "make install"
     cd device/agg
     make
     su -c "make install"
     cd ../../../kdom
     make
     su -c "make install"
     cd ../ksvg2
     make
     su -c "make install"
         

3. You can check that everything was installed correctly in many ways. Here are two such checks:
   
   • Open a svg file in konqueror.
   • Execute on the command line 'svgdisplay your_test_svg.svg'.
