How do I compile this?


Hi, I would like to compile a package that has a structure I have never encoutered before. It has the following structure:

Code:
SuSE          greeter              ksplashx  qtkdeintegration
admin         kcmyast2             kyast     suseplugger
admin.diff    kdm-suseconfig.diff  meta      susewatcher
config-files  kfiledialog  pics      totranslate admin.diff
 kdm-suseconfig.diff Makefile.am
Of these configure.in.in, admin.diff, kdm-suseconfig.diff and Makefile.am appear to be the most significant.

I am normally fine with compiling sources from source packages, so long as there is a configure script, or at least so long as it has a debian rules directory - but I am at a total loss of how to go about configuring this.

To be clear this was a source rpm package that I extracted on a debian system - but I don't want to build an rpm package, I just want to compile the source - and maybe build a .deb. Of all of these it really only suseplugger that really interests me - if I could find a way to compile this as a single package it would be very cool indeed.

Can anyone help?

GJ

If there is a configure.in file, then you can run "autoconf" to generate the "configure" script.
