P>leased to hear it. Feel free to have a poke around the source code and
you can also contribute by adding to the wiki

Hi,

actually, the output is not very big ("full compiler ouput" in
KDevelop selected):

cd '/home/clau/projects/ktechlab/trunk' && WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" make
-f Makefile.cvs && mkdir '/home/clau/projects/ktechlab/trunk/debug' &&
cd '/home/clau/projects/ktechlab/trunk/debug' && CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3"
"/home/clau/projects/ktechlab/trunk/configure" --enable-debug=full
--prefix=/usr --enable-pch=yes && cd
'/home/clau/projects/ktechlab/trunk/debug/src/core/' &&
WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5="1" make -k libcore.la
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution
<br />
*** YOU'RE USING autoconf (GNU Autoconf) 2.61.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.53 or newer
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
*** Exited with status: 2 ***

It may be that I need several libraries to compile kde programs. I
really have no idea what, though... I'll google it further

Also what I have noticed: KTechLab uses quite a lot of CPU time, even
if simultation is stopped. Anyone seen the same thing?

Thanks
Clau
