`kdesrc-build-setup`

Creates a `~/.kdesrc-buildrc` configuration file for `kdesrc-build`(1).

    kdesrc-build-setup

## DESCRIPTION

The `kdesrc-build-setup` command is used to generate a simple configuration file for `kdesrc-build`(1).

It requires the `dialog`(1) script be available, and Perl (just like `kdesrc-build`).

No command line options are accepted. The operation of the program is instead driven through dialog-style prompts to gather the data required to generate the configuration file. The configuration file can be saved to a location other than `~/.kdesrc-buildrc`.

## OPTIONS

No command line options are supported for this command.

## EXIT STATUS

0

- Success

Anything else

- Either there was an I/O failure of some type (invalid permissions, disk full, etc.), or the user canceled the program by pressing ESC during a dialog.

## ENVIRONMENT

`HOME`

- Used for tilde-expansion of file names, and is the default base for the source, build, and installation directories.

`dialog`(1)

- The `dialog`(1) program is required for the operation of this script and may obey environment variables of its own.

## FILES

`~/.kdesrc-buildrc` - Default global configuration file, generated by default by this script. If the file already exists, the existing file is moved to `~/.kdesrc-buildrc~` as a backup before generating the configuration.

The file generated by this script can be saved to a different name instead.

## BUGS

See http://bugs.kde.org/. Be sure to search against the `kdesrc-build` product.
