ktalkd
is now a core application of the KDE project
http://www.kde.org, part of the
kdenetwork package.
But you can always download the latest ktalkd
from the main ftp site of the KDE project,
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde and from its mirrors.
It's usually found in
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/stable/latest/apps/network
In order to successfully compile ktalkd
, you need the latest versions
of the KDE libraries as well as the Qt C++ library. All required
libraries as well as ktalkd itself can be found on
ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/.
In order to compile and install ktalkd
on your system, type the
following in the base directory of the ktalkd
distribution:
% ./configure
% make
% make install
As ktalkd
is a daemon, make install
will require root privileges.
Don't forget to update /etc/inetd.conf. For example, on a linux system, if kde is in /opt/kde, change the lines concerning talk and ntalk to :
talk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /opt/kde/bin/kotalkd
ntalk dgram udp wait root /usr/sbin/tcpd /opt/kde/bin/ktalkd
A script is provided, to make the necessary change automatically.
Update your inetd.conf file just by running
% ./post-install.sh
Anyway, you'll have to restart inetd after this.
On most Linux systems, do :
% killall -HUP inetd
Please inform me of any modification you had to undertake in order to
get ktalkd
to compile on your platform.
