If you have obtained this source code from CVS, you will need to copy the admin directory and files from the kapptemplate program supplied with the kdesdk package to the kxstitch source base directory, and then run 'make -f Makefile.dist' to build the configure script. Before ./configure make sure there is an environment variable KDEDIR which points to the base installation of KDE, this will be /opt/kde, /usr, or some other path dependant on your distribution. To build KXStitch, run the following commands in the directory where you extracted the source code, or checked out the CVS code. ./configure make make install // this will need to be done as root For additional build options and instructions see the INSTALL file.
