KWrite is a core application of the KDE project http://www.kde.org. KWrite can be found on ftp://ftp.kde.org/pub/kde/, the main ftp site of the KDE project.

### 2.2 Requirements

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

### 2.3 Compilation and installation

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

> `

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