I'm forwarding this message to the kde mailing lists to see if anyone there knows. Please also make sure that you're following the KDE Techbase instructions on building KDE 4 pretty closely. Good luck. ---------- Forwarded message ---------- From: Marco Mangiante <marco.mangiante@xxxxxxxxx> Date: 04-Sep-2007 12:59 Subject: Help with configure kde 4 beta 2 To: troy@xxxxxxx Hello, I read your post on your trial of kde 4 beta 2 and see that you are a seasoned user. I'm novice to compile the kde 4 and I'd like to do it myself. Previously I downloaded the packages for the beta 1 and post some bugs: now I want to buil myself, if possible. I followed the instructions on techbase, but encountered a problem. I posted on various sites but haven't received help. I ask for your help. I cut and paste my post regarding the problem, maybe you can help me to resolve it. I see some suggestions on the web, but many are related to package to install, but I applied all the istructions that are present in the article on techbase. I have a kubuntu 7.4 and choose to create a separate user, kde-develop. Thanks for you time. This is the post: # Start Hello, following the tutorial at http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/...quired_Software I find a problem to configure the qt4. I start the configure command like written in the tutorial bu received the error: You don't seem to have 'make' or 'gmake' in your PATH. Cannot proceed. So I do the command 'which make' and it found at /usr/bin/make, so the make command is there. Also I see that in the path there is also /usr/bin. In your opinion, what is the problem. I also tried to change the part in the configure script where is the 'if' that control the variable $MAKE, but with poor result: I comment out all the line related to that 'if' and left also the line MAKE='/usr/bin/make' (note that the original line have only 'MAKE'). First I received the message that the script want a 'fi' at the final of the script, after this I received another error, regarding the directory mkspecs. Is possible to set directly in the script the path of the 'make'. Can someone help me. #End Hope of your help, or please cc this to someone that can help me. Please remember that I am a semi novice to do this (I compiled so long time ago the packages for kde 3, but only for fun), so please be patient. -- Regards, Marco Mangiante -- Troy Unrau Geophysics Student - University of Manitoba KDE Gearhead ___________________________________________________ This message is from the kde mailing list.
