     Hi,

     KDE 1.0 is kind of buggy, so I decided to try to build a snapshot
(12/16/98).  While bsd-port is provided, when I tried to run "make"
(under a build directory in my home directory as an ordinary user)
I got an error message that said:
          $ cd /usr/home/drifter/src/KDE/kdelibs/bsd-port
          $ make
          ===>  Configuring for kdelibs-981216
          cd ../;rm -f config.cache;gmake -f Makefile.cvs
          gmake: Makefile.cvs: No such file or directory
          gmake: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.cvs'.  Stop.
          *** Error code 2
          
          Stop.
          *** Error code 1
          
          Stop.
          *** Error code 1
          
          Stop.
I thought the whole idea of "snapshots" was to avoid using cvs.  Any
way, a:
          $ cd ~/src/kde/kdelibs
          $ find . -name Makefile.cvs
showed that there were no files of that name in the snapshot.  So, I
tried the hard way with:
    ./configure
and learned that there was no "./configure" script there!  So, I
downloaded autoconf-2.12 and ran:
          $ autoconf
          autoconf: Undefined macros:
          configure.in:100:AC_CHECK_BOOL
          configure.in:105:AC_CHECK_USLEEP
          configure.in:106:AC_CHECK_SETENV
          configure.in:107:AC_CHECK_GETDOMAINNAME
          configure.in:108:AC_CHECK_GETHOSTNAME
          configure.in:109:AC_CHECK_KSIZE_T
          configure.in:25:AC_CHECK_COMPILERS
          configure.in:49:AC_CREATE_KFSSTND(default)
          configure.in:50:AC_SUBST_KFSSTND
I tried "./configure" anyway but got:
          $ ./configure
          loading cache ./config.cache
          checking host system type... i386-unknown-freebsd2.2.7
          checking target system type... i386-unknown-freebsd2.2.7
          checking build system type... i386-unknown-freebsd2.2.7
          ./configure: 652: Syntax error: word unexpected (expecting ")")

     Is this just a bad snapshot or am I missing anything here?  The
reason why I am building under my home directory is that I already
have KDE installed and I don't want to really screw up the installation
I have before testing out the snapshot.
     Thanks

     -Rob
