Hi, KDE 1.0 is kind of buggy, so I decided to try to build a snapshot (12/16/98). While bsd-port is provided, when I tried to run "make" (under a build directory in my home directory as an ordinary user) I got an error message that said: $ cd /usr/home/drifter/src/KDE/kdelibs/bsd-port $ make ===> Configuring for kdelibs-981216 cd ../;rm -f config.cache;gmake -f Makefile.cvs gmake: Makefile.cvs: No such file or directory gmake: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.cvs'. Stop. *** Error code 2 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. *** Error code 1 Stop. I thought the whole idea of "snapshots" was to avoid using cvs. Any way, a: $ cd ~/src/kde/kdelibs $ find . -name Makefile.cvs showed that there were no files of that name in the snapshot. So, I tried the hard way with: ./configure and learned that there was no "./configure" script there! So, I downloaded autoconf-2.12 and ran: $ autoconf autoconf: Undefined macros: configure.in:100:AC_CHECK_BOOL configure.in:105:AC_CHECK_USLEEP configure.in:106:AC_CHECK_SETENV configure.in:107:AC_CHECK_GETDOMAINNAME configure.in:108:AC_CHECK_GETHOSTNAME configure.in:109:AC_CHECK_KSIZE_T configure.in:25:AC_CHECK_COMPILERS configure.in:49:AC_CREATE_KFSSTND(default) configure.in:50:AC_SUBST_KFSSTND I tried "./configure" anyway but got: $ ./configure loading cache ./config.cache checking host system type... i386-unknown-freebsd2.2.7 checking target system type... i386-unknown-freebsd2.2.7 checking build system type... i386-unknown-freebsd2.2.7 ./configure: 652: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")") Is this just a bad snapshot or am I missing anything here? The reason why I am building under my home directory is that I already have KDE installed and I don't want to really screw up the installation I have before testing out the snapshot.
