Hi,
    Having checked out KWinTV from the CVS repository for KDE 3, the following 
error occurs upon "make -f Makefile.cvs"

[neilm@fruits][kdenonbeta]$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

grep: Makefile.am: No such file or directory
!!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set the
    environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500"
*** Creating list of subdirectories
make[2]: Makefile.am: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.am'.  Stop.
*** Creating configure.in
make[2]: Makefile.am: No such file or directory
make[2]: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.am'.  Stop.
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 2
make: *** [all] Error 2

When checking out Makefile.am, the message is given:

[neilm@fruits][neilm]$ cvs checkout kdenonbeta/Makefile.am
cvsro server: warning: kdenonbeta/Makefile.am is not (any longer) pertinent

This breaks the build process. Any ideas on a fix (or maybe the CVS being 
fixed ?)

Regards,
--Neil.
