Matt (and others),

I was able to apt-get install build-install. Make is now a command; however, it gives me the following error message when I type "make":

make: *** No targets specified and no makefile found. Stop.

Makefile.am, makefile.dist, and makefile.in are all present. If I need to specify a path, what is it?

The package uses the standard GNU autotools for the build environment. This means that you need to run ./configure to generate the Makefile before you run make. The INSTALL file in the source distribution should have some other instructions about how the build system works.

By the way, smb4k is not in the Kubuntu repositories. At least not in 6.06 (Dapper).

Strange, I was under the impression that Kubuntu shared a repository with the "standard" Ubuntu stuff, it's definitely available for installation on my dapper laptop. Cheers -- Matt Brown matt(a)mattb.net.nz Mob +64 21 611 544 www.mattb.net.nz
