Sounds like you're using Sun's make. That's not gonna work, you have to use 
GNU make with konstruct. Make sure that GNU make comes first in your PATH and 
you should probably also use bash instead of /bin/sh because there are 
sometimes configure scripts in KDE which aren't pure Bourne shell but contain 
bash instructions.
