Availability
The KDE 3 version of KuickShow is available in the KDE Graphics module, so it should be available in all distributions that package KDE 3.5 or earlier. The KDE 4 port lives in the extragear/graphics directory of the KDE repository.
Building the KDE4 version
Before building KuickShow, you must make sure to have Imlib1 as well as its development headers installed.
If your distribution doesn't provide Imlib1 packages, download [1], unpack it to a temporary directory, enter the directory imlib-1.9.15 and run
./configure make make install
This will build and install Imlib to /usr/local. Then grab the latest version of KuickShow, currently [2], unpack it to a temporary directory, enter the directory kuickshow-0.9.1-kde-4.3 and run
cmake -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=/usr make make install
You may choose different directory as prefix of course (e.g. choose the directory where your KDE4 is installed).
That's it, KuickShow is now installed and ready to display your images!
