+Building and installing:
+-----------------------
+This began under KDE3 and might still be made to work, but I only built
+with KDE4 and cmake recently.
+
+A kind of recipe:
+ - You need the KDE4 core devel packages and cmake installed
+ - Extract the source and build recoll normally.
+ - In the recoll source, go to kde/kioslave/recoll, then execute:
+
+ cmake CMakeLists.txt
+ ccmake .
+  # Change the install prefix from /usr/local to /usr, then 'c', 'g'
+ make
+ sudo make install
+
+ - Note: there may be a way to install to a personal directory and avoid
+   being root, and somebody who knows more about kde will have to teach me
+   this.
+
+- You should then be able to enter "recoll:" in the konqueror url, and
+  perform a recoll search (supposing you have an index already built of
+  course, the kio_slave doesn't deal with this for now).

   - Or a la strigi: all interactions are through html pages and get()
     operations.  Looks less like a normal konqueror file-system
