Hi,

I'm the author of the latest member of KDE Extra Gear with my little tiny
app KBruch.

Today, I checked out the complete extragear-1 CVS module and tried the
following:

bash-2.05$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

*** Creating Makefile templates

    Don't forget to run ./configure
    If you haven't done so in a while, run ./configure --help

I think these warnings are not so important, but maybe someone wants to look
for it.

Nevertheless, KBruch is compiling fine and working, so no trouble at all.

Have a nice time,

Steinchen

PS: I have autoconf 2.53 and automake 1.5, the latest versions provided by
Slackware
