    20 The dependencies are handled by MacPorts and should be installed automatically. Please note that several large packages are required by KDE, so that the installation or re-installation may take a few hours at first, but less time for subsequent KDE applications. It may be helpful to break the work into stages: first qt4-mac, then kdelibs4 and kde4-runtime and finally the KDE applications you require.

    2222The ports contained in MacPorts essentially match the packages provided on [http://download.kde.org/extra/mirrors.html KDE mirrors]. Several ports end however with a "4", or start with "kde4-" in order to differentiate the ports from the ones of the older KDE version 3. KDE 3 became obsolescent in 2008 and is no longer supported, so KDE 3 ports should be avoided as far as possible.

    55 As with most MacPorts ports, KDE ports install executables in ${prefix}/bin, which defaults to /opt/local/bin. However, KDE end-user applications are built as Apple bundles (clickable apps), which are then installed in ${applications_dir}/KDE4, which defaults to /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4.

    5757To launch an installed KDE application, you can use /Applications/MacPorts/KDE4 in the Finder or Macports and KDE4 in the Applications popup at the right-hand end of the dock (if you have it). You can also drag a copy of the associated KDE icon from either place into the dock, to provide a quick start.
