Running KDE on my Intel Mac Macbook Core Duo2, 2 Ghz 1Go ram

Kde programs run perfectly on my Macbook when compiled with Fink using the X11 window manager. Here I'm using Konqueror and Amarok run from KDE's "kicker" taskbar, so I no longer need a virtual linux machine :)

To convert Palm Desktop dba files for importing to Google's Gcal calendar format try Dba2Csv at http://www.dba2csv.com.

To make it easy, download macports. After installing create a file in your home directory called ".profile". add these lines to it:

"export PATH=/opt/local/bin:/opt/local­/sbin:$PATH" and

"export MANPATH=/opt/local/share/man:$­MANPATH"

in the terminal type:

"sudo port install kde"

this might take awhile...

Add a file called ".xinitrc" to your home directory and in this file add these lines:

"/opt/local/bin/startkde"

then Launch X11.app and it should automatically start KDE.

I've got KDE running on my Mac, mainly for Amarok.

Just wait until KDE 4 is released! KDE can be compiled against the native QT 4.0 libaries and not require X11. Someone has already compiled the Alpha version to be a native Mac app.

How did you do that and can it also work with Gnome apps and the Gnome desktop?
