I have the same and/or various build problem with notedit. The way I built the packages is to not get it to invoke automake and autoconf. For some reason that otherwise always fails somewhere for me (various places). And I have tried all the normal ways of making the build work. There is probably something not completely right in the automake and/or autoconf build scripts. But why dpkg-source fails, appears to be something wrong with the dpkg-source perl script. As I am not a friend of perl, and don't know how to make automake/autoconf scripts, I have not tried to fix the problems. There are unfortunately other problems with noteedit, maybe unique to debian. So this is a package that needs some work for whoever want to adopt it on debian. Noteedit is a program I often use myself. Karolina

NoteEdit for KDE 3.1?
I haven't been able to find a NoteEdit package for KDE 3, so I tried building it from source. Unfortunately, it won't build. At first, it wouldn't even configure, complaining that its test of bison/yacc failed; I fixed that by correcting a syntax error in its yacctest.y file. Then it configured, but building gave this error: % make cd . make -f admin/Makefile.common configure.in ; make[1]: Entering directory /home/craig/src/noteedit-2.0.17' cd . aclocal cd . automake --gnu ./Makefile cd . perl admin/am_edit Makefile.in cd . autoconf configure.in:243: warning: AC_PROG_LEX invoked multiple times configure.in:569: error: m4_popdef: undefined macro: AC_Dest autoconf/status.m4:844: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from... configure.in:569: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 make: *** [configure] Error 1 At this point, I'm stuck; I don't know what this means or how to fix it. Can anyone offer any suggestions? Has anyone else managed to build NoteEdit for KDE3? Craig
