Compiling Kerry Beagle from SVN

I downloaded Kerry through SVN but am not sure how to compile, there's no configure script. There's a Makefile.am so I tried automake but that gave me this error:

automake: `configure.ac' or `configure.in' is required

run
./autogen.sh
to generate the configure script

You probably need an admin inside the kerry directory to compile it, too:

svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/KDE/3.5/kde-common/admin

After that "make -f Makefile.cvs".

There's no autogen.sh in the directory.

Ok, so I got the admin downloaded. When I run make -f Makefile.cvs I get:

make: Makefile.cvs: No such file or directory
make: *** No rule to make target `Makefile.cvs'.  Stop.

Okay, then create a Makefile.cvs in the kerry dir with these contents, and try again:

all:
        @echo "This Makefile is only for the CVS repository"
        @echo "This will be deleted before making the distribution"
        @echo ""
        @if test ! -d admin; then 
           echo "Please recheckout this module!" ;
           echo "for cvs: use checkout once and after that update again" ;
           echo "for cvsup: checkout kde-common from cvsup and" ;
           echo "   link kde-common/admin to ./admin" ;
           exit 1 ;
        fi
        $(MAKE) -f admin/Makefile.common cvs

.SILENT:

Makefile.cvs:2: *** missing separator (did you mean TAB instead of 8 spaces?).  Stop.

Nevermind, I got it working, just had to replace the spaces with tabs. Thanks!
