KCDSpeed is a small application designed for use with the K Desktop Environment panel.
KCdSpeed is a highly efficient applet for your K Desktop Environment's desktop panel kicker. With its easy and convenient features of CD-ROM speed selection, ejecting and closing the CD-ROM tray, as well as mounting and unmounting discs, this applet is the perfect tool for anyone who prefers convenience and time-saving.
The installation process is smooth and quick thanks to the `configure' shell script that comes with the package. This script attempts to guess correct values for various system-dependent variables used during compilation and uses those values to create a `Makefile' in each directory of the package. It may also create one or more `.h' files containing system-dependent definitions. Finally, it creates a shell script `config.status' that you can run in the future to recreate the current configuration, a file `config.cache' that saves the results of its tests to speed up reconfiguring, and a file `config.log' containing compiler output (useful mainly for debugging `configure').
In case you need to do unusual things to compile the package, please try to figure out how `configure' could check whether to do them and mail diffs or instructions to the address given in the `README' so they can be considered for the next release. If at some point `config.cache' contains results you don't want to keep, you may remove or edit it. The file `configure.in' is used to create `configure' by a program called `autoconf'. However, you only need `configure.in' if you want to change it or regenerate `configure' using a newer version of `autoconf'.
The compiling process is very straightforward. All you have to do is to `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type `./configure' to configure the package for your system. If you're using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute `configure' itself. Running `configure' takes a while. While running, it prints some messages telling which features it is checking for. Type `make' to compile the package and `make install' to install the programs and any data files and documentation. You can remove the program binaries and object files from the source code directory by typing `make clean'.
This release comes with no new functionality. However, the project has been re-created and made compilable under newer Linux kernels. There are also minor changes in coding-style and indenting, as well as renamed classes to enhance user-friendliness. All in all, KCdSpeed is a reliable and helpful tool that will make working with CDs a breeze!
