Installing Kylix 3 Open Edition on Mandrake 9

How can I get Kylix 3 Open Edition installed and running on Mandrake 9?

1. Open a Super User Terminal,

   select "Sessions/New Root Midnight Commander"

   and in "/", create a directory "temp"

2. Download or copy the file kylix3_open.tar.gz into the "temp" directory you just created.

3. Check that all necessary programs are installed on your system:

   • Open kmenu/configuration/packaging/Remove Software or kpackage

   • Check for installation of the following:

     kernel => 2.2 (mdk9.0 uses 2.4)
     libgtk => 1.2 (mdk 9.0 uses 1.2-1.2.10-29)
     libjpeg => 6.2 (mdk 9.0 uses 6.-66-25)
     XIIR6 (XFree86) (mdk uses 4.2.1-3)
     XFree86-dev (mdk9.0 uses 4.2.1-3)
     glibc-dev (mdk9.0 uses 2.2.5-16)
     

4. Once you have verified that you have all of the necessary programs do the following:

   In a Super User Terminal do:

   cd /temp
   tar zxf kylix3_open.tar.gz
   

   In user terminal (NOT as root):

   cd /temp/kylix3_open
   ./setup.sh
   

   In Gui select "I Agree"

   Now select "install"

5. Logout and log back in as same user to get the Borland Kylix entry in the KDE menu

6. In Borland Kylix 3 menu, select "register now"

7. In the Gui select "next"

8. In the Gui select "Finish"

   The Gui disappears and the registration process has completed.

The Kylix Delphi and Kylix C++ IDE's can now be run.
