[Kwintv] compiling qtvision from cvs

[Richard]

I'm using SuSe 8.1 with KDE3.1 and qt3 installed.  Kwintv no longer works on 
the new kde so I am trying to compile qtvision from cvs.  

I am brand new to cvs!

Following all the instructions I get to the point of the first Make 
instruction of make -f Makefile.cvs..  
it stops with a change to directory to write configure.in and there it remains 
forever.

the makefile.cvs contains:

all:
	@echo "This Makefile is only for the CVS repository"
	@echo "This will be deleted before making the distribution"
	@echo ""
	@if test ! -d admin; then \
	   echo "Please recheckout this module!" ;\
	   echo "for cvs: use checkout once and after that update again" ;\
	   echo "for cvsup: checkout kde-common from cvsup and" ;\
	   echo "   link kde-common/admin to ./admin" ;\
	   exit 1 ;\
	fi
	$(MAKE) -f admin/Makefile.common cvs

#SILENT:

The admin makefile contains:

### Makefile.common
###
### Copyright (C) 2002 by the KDE developers

### All the real work is done by the shellscript cvs.sh

SHELL=/bin/sh

cvs dist cvs-clean configure configure.in configure.files subdirs 
package-messages package-merge:
	@admindir=$(admindir); \
	if test "x$$admindir" = x; then \
	  admindir=.; until test -f $$admindir/admin/cvs.sh; do \
	    admindir=$$admindir/..; \
	    if test `cd $$admindir && pwd` = / ; then break; fi; \
	  done; \
	  admindir=$$admindir/admin; \
	  if test -f $$admindir/cvs.sh; then :; else \
	    echo "Can't find the admin/ directory in any parent of the"; \
	    echo "current directory.  Please set it with admindir=..."; \
	    exit 1; \
	  fi; \
	fi; \
	if test "$@" = "package-merge"; then \
		MAKE="$(MAKE)" POFILES="$(POFILES)" PACKAGE="$(PACKAGE)" \
	  	$(SHELL) $$admindir/cvs.sh package-merge ;\
	else MAKE="$(MAKE)" $(SHELL) $$admindir/cvs.sh $@ ;\
	fi

configure.in: configure.files $(shell test -f configure.files && cat 
configure.files) subdirs
configure.files: subdirs

.SILENT:

.PHONY: cvs dist cvs-clean package-merge package-messages

Is there something special that must be done to make this work with suse??

Can/will  anyone help me?
