Yes i been following the instructions provided here:

http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started ... troduction

I so far got to Running emerge section and get stuck!

C:
cd %KDEROOT%emerge
Then you have to execute

kdeenv.bat

Now my system is nopt C:, but F: i used cmd to open a console windows typed it in cd kderootemerge then next line is
F:kderootemerge>

I put in kdeenv.bat and come up with the system can not find the path specified. < was unexpected this time.

Dunno what i am doing wrong here! The file is there plain as day?

Thinking maybe it has to do with Configure the emerge tool section above the emerge section i was talking about.

Copy the file %KDEROOT%emergekdesettings-example.bat as %KDEROOT%etckdesettings.bat and change its contents according to your needs. The options are described in the rem lines in the file itself.

Ok i tryed opening this i installed a fresh copy of windows on my harddrisk using windows xp pro! I've download the compilers sdks of sorts and sql and python been following this tut by the book. I notice when editing this file as said in tut they are reffering to %KDEROOT% , but we made our own directory mine is k:/kderoot. Sinc ein linux they change my other drive to letter c it was used so using k and it can't be changed with out a reinstall and i just downloaded all this software ack!

Anyway back to setting this file up to my needs also noticed
%PROGRAMFILES%, and other %KDEROOT% and %PATH% and such think i only changed 1 and it was the kde directory set to f:kderoot cause wasn't asking for a path. The other ones i pointed to the directories to where they are to be set but left the %PROGRAMFILES% even though mine is Program Files in my tree. I left for the reason of at the end of the file says do't edit so i am asumeing that these are used to be call am i not.

I did noticed though when dowloading emerge not to use the ref name %KDEROOT% but the name i chosen f:kderoot hence how i got emerge on my computer.

So i don't know what i am really doing wrong. I tryed and set a few of the .bat to echo on and after wards sometimes one of them disappear so i have to redownload the emerge. It doesn't come out like the tut so where am i going wrong i keep asking my self. Need Help here!!

I think your fault is in the kdesettings.bat, maybe you can post it's content here an we can help you...

Greetings

Note even in cmd when i get to the point to execute the file even if i put just the file name doesn't go through nor does using the START command [Filename] FILE DOESN'T EXIST. been reading alot of the help in cmd and svn noticed there isn't alot of input on there commands. Also when i do load cmd the drive and path starts as this and what i've been typeing.

I do have MiniGW install along with MSV2008 Express version i dowload with is bundled with the microsoft sql server, got the drx sdk and a folder microsoft SDKs i asume is the server platform directoies all these went default to my /Programs Files/ dIRECTORY.

Yeah any help would be great.

Also just noticed after i ran that i clicked on the kdeenv.bat went to edit to share it as well it is empty now nothing is in it. Maybe it worked or bugged? Not used to cmd. I got a c++ book with me and applyed for college in computer science messed with it when i was younger so its been years. I really like KDE and linux actually but switched back to Windows cause the directx i like my pc game i paid for to be able to play it since wine couldn't get it running. I have two harddrives an 80GB and a 20GB installed nothing is on my 20GB but not used to raid and i believe raid 0 you need to have the same harddrives. I really wanted to duel boot but as you see its an 80gb harddrive and the 20gb.

Also notice they do have a newer version of Python out 2.6 but this is not compatible with the new svu program so running 2.5.

Thanks

I see several lines in your kdesettings.bat which look like that:

Code: Select all

PYTHONPATH=%PROGRAMFILES%python25


Try to change them to the real path, like

Code: Select all

PYTHONPATH=c:ProgrammFilespython25


that.

At the moment I'm not at home, so I can't post you my version! But I'll do that later.

Greetings

Thanks i will try that! See in the tut it says refer too with the %KDEROOT% i wonder also if i really am suppose to use that all through. I also did think maybe in that file all the paths to change.

I was running IE with no firewall or nothing. Guess what happened freaken thing downloaded some stuff went to remove it my computer went zombie on me couldn't do nothing even after restart and everything just sit idle running in windows. If checked processes grrr. Trogan virus city. I reinstalled a fresh version of win xp pro. Running seamonkey i am surprised that the firefox in linux is seamonkey just a different paint job i believe. Also the more i look at xp and everything the more i see the KDE isn't that strange! Only thing missing is the my plasma folder/desktop on my background, a nice doliphn to play with and kate. Oh the nice file system too. Noticed in actually its built almost the same way even does have a so called root, but they prompt you to make a password when installing. You can run as a power user from computer management. As for updates i only installed the netframes and windows advantage those are the only updates i installed from microsoft. Only ones i need forget the rest of the stuff.

Need to make a backup disk tired of reinstalling this mojojo. Then going to proceded to install the stuff that was in here and try this all again.
