Maybe it is usefull to know where the autoconf binairy is. You can check this with

Source code

1
locate autoconf | grep bin
or find it manually (it is likely to be in /usr/bin).

Version 2.59 is not detected through this command. To detect this, edit the file "admin/detect-autoconf.sh". There is a line in it which looks like

Source code

1
KDE_AUTOCONF_VERS="-2.58 -2.57 257 -2.54 -2.53a -2.53 -2.52 -2.5x"
You can change that to

Source code

1
KDE_AUTOCONF_VERS="-2.59 -2.58 -2.57 257 -2.54 -2.53a -2.53 -2.52 -2.5x"

If you're sure that you have the correct version installed, you can also simply do this:

Source code

1
WANT_AUTOCONF="2.5" make -f Makefile.cvs

In case anyone else runs in to this problem, I got the exact same errors as the OP because I did not have automake installed. Oops :)
