2.1 How to obtain KSendFax

KSendFax hopefully becomes a core application of the KDE project http://www.kde.org. KSendFax can be found on ftp://ftp.sad.it/pub/kde/local, and on the main ftp site of the KDE project ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde.

2.2 Requirements

In order to successfully compile KSendFax, you need the latest versions of libkdecore and libkfm. All required libraries as well as KEdit itself can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/.

Important: You have to install a fax-package which has a sendfax command such as HylaFax, E-Fax or mgetty+sendfax.

2.3 Compilation and installation

In order to compile and install KSendFax on your system, type the following in the base directory of the KSendFax distribution:

% ./configure
% make
% make install

Since KSendFax uses autoconf you should have not trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the KDE mailing lists.
