Hi I am having trouble compiling from svn I used.

Code: Select all

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/network/ktorrent
cd ktorrent
svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kde-common/admin/
svn cat svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/extragear/network/Makefile.cvs > Makefile.cvs


To get the latest (590859 checkout) from SVN now when I do.

Code: Select all

>$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

./admin/cvs.sh: line 33: --version: command not found
*** AUTOCONF NOT FOUND!.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.53 or newer
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2


It tells me it can't find autoconfig but I have it installed.

Code: Select all

>$ autoconf --version
autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.60a

I am running Debian GNU/Linux on a testing/unstable mixed system perhaps somebody could tell me what is going wrong. I should have everything required to compile Ktorrent as I have compiled pretty much all releases from past the 1.2 that is available in Debian and am currently running 2.0.2 compiled from source.

install automake and kde-devel

after that you might need to upgrade your automake to at least 1.7 or something

(get it from the automake gnu site and compile, the debian package in my case was only 1.4)

Thanks that does it although why the error tells you it needs autoconf when what it really needs is automake is beyond me ...

Automake & co work in mysterious ways ... , anyway at some point in time we will follow KDE and switch to cmake.
