The K Desktop Environment

3.3. Compilation and installation

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.
