Re: Standalone version of Kile

I got an app bundle generated with these instructions--thanks. I will 
play with Kile for a bit and see if any other tweaking is needed.

Two more questions:

1. What would you need from me once I get the final code situated, to 
get a package put up with the other binaries? So far I've done nothing 
but add the new admin directory and generate the new makefile--no 
comments out on any X11-related code. I need to work with Kile some 
more to verify that nothing needs to be done here.

2. I can't get the Mac-style widgets to appear by editing kdeglobals 
according to the instructions on the wiki. "widgetStyle=Macintosh" and 
"widgetStyle="macintosh (aqua)" still leaves the KDE default. Has 
something changed since 3.2 was built?
