I want KDM, but not kde. Possible?
Sorry if this is a "noob" question.

kdm is part of kdebase and kdeartwork. If you just emerge those you will have kdm, without kde.

Isn't kdebase essentially KDE though?

kdm is a part of kdebase and since it relies on libtool generated libs from kcontrol it isn't straightforward to install kdm by itself; a few modifications to the ebuild itself would be necessary. If you're up to it, then you may like to try out the following changes to /usr/portage/kde-base/kdebase-3.1.4.ebuild:
Change the src_compile() function to:
| Code: |
src_compile() {
kde_src_compile myconf
kde_src_compile configure
kde_remove_flag kdm/kfrontend -fomit-frame-pointer
cd ${S}/kcontrol/background
make || die
cd ${S}/kdm
make || die
}
|
Then change the src_install() function to:
| Code: |
src_install() {
cd ${S}/kdm
DESTDIR=${D} make install || die
cd ${D}/${KDEDIR}/share/config/kdm || die
sed -e "s:SessionTypes=:SessionTypes=kde-${PV},:" \
-e "s:Session=${PREFIX}/share/config/kdm/Xsession:Session=/etc/X11/xdm/Xsession:" \
${FILESDIR}/${PVR}/kdmrc > kdmrc
cp ${FILESDIR}/${PVR}/backgroundrc .
}
|
Now we should be able to emerge only kdm from kdebase:
| Code: |
# USE="-*" emerge kdebase
|
I haven't tried this out myself so I'd like to know how well (or indeed if) it works. 
Ciao, Brandy.
