Kate, Kile and LaTeX

[William Hunter-3]

Hi everyone;

Noob question: I'm considering changing to Solaris 10 (PTC dropped support for Pro/E on Linux), I've been a fairly long time Linux user and would like to know if there are any plans (or perphaps rough estimates) of when above mentioned apps will become available as binaries or 'easy' source compiles.

I Googled a little bit for this question, but nothing concise and up-to-date surfaces.

Or is it simply a matter of time before all KDE apps become available?

Regards,
wh

For KDE 3.5.8, blastwave is the right source. Compiled with gcc, quite
complete. Don't know if kile is included, but kile doesn't do anything really
weird and should be a straightforward build.

For KDE4, patience is the key, and/or building stuff out of svn and helping
with testing - drop by #kde-solaris on freenode after reading the techbase
article on kde on solaris.

from my experience, i'm unable to do kile working on solaris 10, with
blastwave or anything else. Even if compilation succeed, there are many
problems when trying to use it, but perhaps it's due to my login with
CDE instead of KDE?
I suggest you to use TexMaker (http://www.xm1math.net/texmaker/), best
choice in a SunRay environment. It needs a recent release of Qt, be
patient to compile it on a slow machine!
For Latex, we use TexLive or Tetex from Blastwave.

I guess that might be it, Kile works 100% on a Gnome Desktop. Have you
tried in under the JDS, seeing that the latter is 'based' on Gnome (if
I have my facts correct).

OK, so I can use TexLive, great.
Yes, I've used TexMaker before, however, I prefer Kile (functions such as
forward search with KDVI is fantastic). Thanks anyway, if I don't succeed
with Kile I'll try TexMaker again.
