compiling modele from kde branch

yogeshm02 · 09-25-2005, 07:45 AM

Hi

I have downloaded svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/noatun/make-it-snow/kdemultimedia/

But it only has Makefile.am in the source tree. How can i compile this module. I have checked kde.org but could not find any help.

Thanks in advance for any help offered in this regard.

The .am stands for "automake". However first check if there is a "configure" program, or a configure.in file. If there is a configure file, then run "./configure" to produce a makefile. If there is a configure.in file then run "autoconf" to produce a configure file.
If not, then use the "automake" program. However, automake is usually a tool that the autoconf program uses, so check out that the other files are.

Before you do anything, read any README or INSTALL file which should have instructions on what you need to do.

You may note that i've downloaded from svn and there is no other file except for Makefile.am and normal source code.

Look at the first few lines of your Makefile.am file. I'll bet that it tells you to use automake to process the file to produce a Makefile.in file. Once you have a Makefile.in file, use "autoconf" to process it. This should produce either a "configure" file or a "Makefile".

Here are the contents of Makefile.am:

Code:

SUBDIRS = pics library app modules .

presetsdir = $(kde_datadir)/noatun/eq.preset
presets_DATA =

	$(EXTRACTRC) `find . -name "*.rc" -o -name "*.ui"` > rc.cpp
	$(XGETTEXT) rc.cpp `find . -name "*.cc" -o -name "*.cpp" -o -name "*.h"` -o $(podir)/noatun.pot

Looking back at your first message, I think that you may have only downloaded a part of the source tree that you need to install the package. Back up until you find a "configure" file.
