Hello Michele,

Would it still be possible to build the package with make? I'm asking

First I would like to do it make and when I have success maybe we can
switch to CMake.
I didn't use the scripts that you linked before because I would like to
do it manually first because I want to learn something about the build
process.
I also asked about if it would be possible to add our functionalities to
kontact-trinity but those functionalities depend on our infrastructure
so it would make no sense to add them. I can't say more because I didn't
develop those things and I'm just starting with kontact.
Kind regards,
Christoph
Automake in core modules is not unused for a long time and it may not work
well. Automake files are left there basically only because of their need
during generate Apidox.
It is definitely a good idea to use CMake instead of automake. It is up to
your choice whether you want to use CMake along with classic make or with
ninja-build.
You do not have to use the comprehensive build scripts that Michele
mentioned, but you can simply use the deb packaging files that are in
tde-packaging GIT repository. Alternatively, you can download the source
deb package and build yourself.

some
packages of TDE I could install successfully and now the next
one would be tdelibs. But there is no configure-file. Am I supposed
to use autoconf to create one and which configure.* file should I use
for autoconf?
I know that you're switching to CMake but I would like to do it with
make this time.
Hi Chris,
tdelibs is built with cmake these days. Have you checked out the
packaging files for debian by the way? They contains all you need to
build packages in debian, they will simplify your task a lot.
Cheers
Michele
