Problems building MDI files

[Johnas @ Work]

I recently installed the KDK 1.1 rpm onto my system and had trouble building an MDI application.  I posted this message on the KDevelop Phorum:

I am trying to build the KScribble example. When I create an KDE2 MDI project under KDevelop 1.1, I get a warning under automake: 

Shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
Shell-init: could not get current directory: getcwd: cannot access parent directories: No such file or directory
Warning: Found old .po.gmo rules in po/Makefile.in new po rules not added.
Cannot find .//index.SGML 

The autoconf/automake complete successfully though. However, when I subsequently try to build the project (skeleton source should compile and run shouldn't it?) I get several error messages from the kscribble.cpp file. It wants to reference a qapplication method that it says is not there. 

I installed rpm's from kdk 1.1, glimpse 4.12, agrep 2.04, kdelibs2 and its develop rpm, qt2.1.0 and its develop rpm, and htdig 3.1.5. I followed all directions in the KDE Applications Tutorials. Simpler non-MDI project build fine. What's wrong? Can anyone help me? Thanks 

Ralf Nolden responded with:

You can ignore the warning you described. It would be better to give me the *exact* error on the kscribble.cpp file you have. It should run however, but I haven´t tested it the last weeks.

In response I wrote:

Dear Ralf:

Since that posting, I have not heard any response.  In the meantime, I tried to look up the activeClient and clientList methods in the documentation on the Qt and KDE libraries.  These methods don't seem to exist.  I also tried to find QWorkspace.h on my system.  That file does not seem to exist.  Could anyone please help me?
