# A.2. Requirements

In order to successfully compile KSysguard, you need the KDE 2.0 and Qt 2.2.x. All required libraries as well as KSysguard itself can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/.

The graphical front-end is available on any platform that KDE runs on. The back-end is at the moment available on the following flavors of UNIX:

Linux 2.x

  For KSysguard to work it is necessary to compile the Linux-Kernel with the `/proc` Filesystem enabled. This is the default setting and most Linux-Distribution have it already.

FreeBSD

  The KSysguard program needs to be owned by the kmem group and needs to have the setgid bit set.

Support for other platforms is in preparation. Your help is greatly appreciated.
