KDE CVS: build instructions

[Waldo Bastian]

As of now you need the following tools to build KDE from CVS:

	autoconf 2.5x
	autoheader 2.5x
	automake 1.5


CHECK
=====

You can check the version of these tools with the following commands:

	autoconf --version
	autoheader --version
	automake --version

If you do not have the correct version you might want to try if one of the 
following commands are available:

	/usr/bin/autoconf-2.53 --version
	/usr/bin/autoheader-2.53 --version
	/usr/bin/automake-1.5 --version


DOWNLOAD
========

If you do not have the correct versions installed on your system you need to 
install these on your system, you can download them from the following 
locations:
	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/autoconf/autoconf-2.53.tar.gz [967Kb]
	ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu/automake/automake-1.5.tar.gz [514Kb]

(You do not need to download autoheader, autoheader is part of autoconf)


MULTIPLE VERSIONS
=================

Installing multiple versions of autoconf/autoheader/automake is easy. 
For autoconf use:
	./configure --prefix /usr/local/autoconf-2.53
	make install
	ln -s /usr/local/autoconf-2.53/bin/autoconf /usr/bin/autoconf-2.53
	ln -s /usr/local/autoconf-2.53/bin/autoheader /usr/bin/autoheader-2.53
	ln -s /usr/local/autoconf-2.53/bin/autom4te /usr/bin/autom4te-2.53

For automake use:
	./configure --prefix /usr/local/automake-1.5
	make install
	ln -s /usr/local/automake-1.5/bin/automake /usr/bin/automake-1.5
	ln -s /usr/local/automake-1.5/bin/aclocal /usr/bin/aclocal-1.5

Cheers,
Waldo
