1) get kdoc with cvsup (name in the cvsup file is kdoc
It installs I believe in /usr/local. I removed (saved) the old kdoc and
installed the new one.

2) I compiled kdevelop with ./configure --enable-kdoc2
3) I removed the kdevelop settings from .kde in my home dir (so that it
        goes thru the install process again.
4) sadly kdevelop finds the old qt and kde but I was able to change this
in the kdevelop settings. I set qt dir to /usr/local/qt2 and kdelib dir
to usr/local/src/KDE/KDE/kdelibs (where my cvsup sources are)

With a bit additional fiddeling this did the trick for my.

Ahm, the qt documentation works without kdoc, it's just the kdelib docu
that needs kdoc2

Please ask if you have more questions.

Good idea. Maybe we have someone on the list who wants to do it?

There was an offer for web page help on the sword list, Troy, what do
you think? Anyway a good idea. I just have no time :)
