The packages allow you to install and run certain KDE programs without resorting to Apple's provided X11 environment. The libs include int he KDE OS X project qt, kdelibs, kdesupport as well as applications like koffice. - -The project wiki lists the packages as "very alpha" and at this point they probably aren't for the faint of heart. Still, if you've been itching to run some KDE apps outside of Apple's X11 environment, this is probably your only hope. - -A disclaimer on the site offers the following humorous warning: - ->They may not work. They may not even install. They may make your monitor explode in a shower of glass. EVEN LCDs! They may make your children grow horns, and cause the people in your neighborhood to explode spontaneously while doing the Macarena. They will rip out your eyeballs, and eat your soul with a really dull spoon, laughing and cackling while forcing Cheerios up your nose. - -Once you get the libs installed you'll need to add them to your shell path and include a line for the new D-Bus session address that's part of KDE 4. - -I'll confess that I was drawn to these libs in hopes that they might be a step toward getting [Amarok][2] [running on OS X][3], but unfortunately I don't think it'll work. For one thing these are version 4 of the KDE libs which Amarok doesn't support and even if it did run, there's still a couple of libs that aren't included in this package. - -However, if you're looking to play around with some KDE apps, Konqueror for instance, these libs should give you what you need to get up and running with native KDE support. - -And if you're pining after Amarok on OS X, take heart -- version 2 should provide native support. - -[1]: http://ranger.users.finkproject.org/kde/index.php/Home "KDE 4 libs, OS X" -[2]: http://amarok.kde.org/ "Amarok" -[3]: http://amarok.kde.org/amarokwiki/index.php/On_OS_X "Amarok on OS X"
