<P>
<H3><A NAME="ss3.1">3.1 How to obtain ktalk</A></H3>
ktalk is part of the KDE project and available at
<A HREF="http://www.student.uni-kl.de/~blehner">http://www.student.uni-kl.de/~blehner</A>.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="ss3.2">3.2 Requirements</A></H3>
In order to successfully compile ktalk, you need the latest versions
of the KDE libraries <CODE>libkdecore</CODE> and <CODE>libkdeui</CODE>,
as well as the Qt-library <CODE>libqt</CODE>. All required
libraries as well as ktalk itself can be found on
<A HREF="ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/">ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/</A>.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="ss3.3">3.3 Compilation and installation</A></H3>
In order to compile and install ktalk on your system, type the
following in the base directory of the ktalk distribution:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE><PRE>
% ./configure
% make
% make install
</PRE></CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
<P>
Please inform me of any modification you had to undertake in order to
get ktalk to compile on your platform.
<P>
<H3><A NAME="ss3.4">3.4 Starting ktalk</A></H3>
If you installed KDE correct, ktalk will be in your executable search path
after installation. You can start it now easily by typing
"<CODE>ktalk</CODE>" on the command line. The following parameters can be
used:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE> ktalk [--autoexit] [user[@host][#tty]] ...</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
If you use the optional parameter "--autoexit", ktalk will exit automatically
after closing the last talk connection.<BR>
You can append several people you want to talk to. The address of a person
has the form <CODE>user@host#tty</CODE>.
<CODE>user</CODE> is the login name of the person, <CODE>host</CODE>
is the IP address of the host the person is on (or your own host if you
leave it out). Furthermore you can specify a terminal with <CODE>tty</CODE>,
on which the announcement is printed. In most cases you can leave this
out.<P>
Example:
<BLOCKQUOTE><CODE> ktalk heister Danny@rappl.aol.com</CODE>
</BLOCKQUOTE>
ktalk is startet, and a talk connection to the user with login name "heister"
on your local host and to the user "Danny" on host "rappl.aol.com" is
established.<P>
More command line options are: <BLOCKQUOTE><CODE>
ktalk --help<BR>
ktalk --version</CODE></BLOCKQUOTE>
