Ok! I installed
autoconf-2.52 automake-1.6.1
With KDE(2/3) comes a command "kapptemplate" which produces a
Makefile.am in top directory and a subdir "admin" with a further
Makefile.common, which in turn calls aclocal, automake and autoconf.
The same is produced and invoked if you create a new project
using "kdevelop".
make -f admin/Makefile.common
invokes aclocal, automake and autoconf.
Note! All works with automake-1.4. Therefore I'm convinced you'll
get still a lot of mails from other KDE developers.
I will not post the TGZ to the list. But if you like refer to:
http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/automakeerror/automakeerror.html
Here you find the TGZ for download.
The first step is:
make -f admin/Makefile.common
If you now:
./configure --prefix=<path_to_kde3> --with-qt-dir=<path_to_qt3>
make
make all-recursive
