Fwd: Help with configure kde 4 beta 2

[Troy Unrau]

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.

To: troy at kde.org


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.
