Need instructions to build KDE-3.5.10 on Solaris 10.

I am new to Solaris. All I loved was KDE as Desktop Environment. So I wanted to build KDE on Solaris. As it requires qt I tried to install qt-3.3.8 (got from toll-trech) as it's giving me errors(I posted on previous mail).

I think I need some general instructions to build KDE on Solaris nor it might be painful. If someone could give me detailed instructions on building KDE 3 versions on Solaris or any kind of hints to avoid errors. Also links are appreciated. Thanks very much.

KDE3 will build given enough massaging and effort; if you want KDE3 I really
recommend you just go get Belenix, since they have solved all of the build
issues and make a nice (installable) liveCD with KDE 3.5 on it.

You might also be able to find their build scripts.

Bear in mind, though, that KDE3 is no longer actively developed (though it is
maintained) and for Solaris we should aim more at KDE4 as a good stable future
than anything else.

Follow this http://www.blastwave.org/howto.html to install pkg-get.
Then pkg-get -i kde should do it.

You should come to #blastwave on irc.freenode.net for more help
