REQUEST: kpovmodeler

KPovModeler is a modeling and composition program for creating POV-Ray(TM) scenes in KDE and it used to be included in kde3. I can't find it in kde4. The kpovmodeler website says:

Sadly, not all distributions include the releases of the kde-extragear/graphics collection. For those who miss kpovmodeler in their distribution in KDE 4, go to the download section and download the latest source release for KDE 4

I have kdegraphics 4.1.1-1 installed but there is no kpovmodeler.

I tryed to build it with the following PKGBUILD

pkgname=kpovmodeler
pkgver=1.1.2
pkgrel=1
pkgdesc="KPovModeler is a modeling and composition program for creating POV-Ray(TM) scenes in KDE." 
url="http://www.kpovmodeler.org/" 
depends=('qt')
source=(http://www.kpovmodeler.org/files/$pkgname-$pkgver-kde4.0.4.tar.bz2) 
md5sums=('f784111985fddee98d7f009f5e21e752')
arch=('i686' 'x86_64')
license='GPL2' 

build() { 
     cd $startdir/src/$pkgname-$pkgver-kde4.0.4
     ./configure
     make || return 1
     make install
}

but fails with the output

==> Comenzando build()...
./PKGBUILD: line 14: ./configure: No existe el fichero o el directorio
make: *** No se especificó ningún objetivo y no se encontró ningún makefile.  Alto.
==> ERROR: Falló build()
    Abortando...

The file INSTALL in the source directory says:

The simplest way to compile this package is:

  1. `cd' to the directory containing the package's source code and type
     `./configure' to configure the package for your system.  If you're
     using `csh' on an old version of System V, you might need to type
     `sh ./configure' instead to prevent `csh' from trying to execute
     `configure' itself.

     Running `configure' takes a while.  While running, it prints some
     messages telling which features it is checking for.

  2. Type `make' to compile the package.

  3. Type `make install' to install the programs and any data files and
     documentation.

I'm lost
Please, could someone help?

Re: REQUEST: kpovmodeler

If the INSTALL file states to run configure and there is no configure script, you should ask upstream to deliver a proper installation guide.

Is there a script autorun.sh? If so, you can try to run that before running configure. But I am only guessing.

Re: REQUEST: kpovmodeler

if there's no autorun.sh but configure.ac and Makefile.am, or *.in files, try running `autoreconf`
(or maybe aclocal && autoconf && automake)

No, there is not. A don't see any script.

There is no autorun.sh, configure.ac, Makefile.am, nor *.in.

There is a file configure.in.bot with the following content:

if test "$KPOVMODELER_OPENGL" = "no"; then
  if test "$have_gl_headers" = "no"; then
    echo ""
    echo "You are missing"
    if test "$ac_cv_header_GL_gl_h" = "no"; then
      echo "    - OpenGL (mesa)"
    fi
    if test "$ac_cv_header_GL_glu_h" = "no"; then
      echo "    - GLU"
    fi
    if test "$ac_cv_header_GL_glx_h" = "no"; then
      echo "    - GLX"
    fi
    echo "KPovModeler will not be compiled."
    echo "You can download them from"
    echo "http://mesa3d.sf.net"
    echo ""
  else
    echo ""
    echo "Your system fails at linking a small OpenGL application!"
    echo "KPovModeler will not be compiled."
    echo "Check, if OpenGL and GLU are installed correctly on your system."
    echo "For more details about this problem, look at config.log after"
    echo "the line \"checking for GL\"."
    echo ""
  fi
  all_tests=bad
fi

if test -z "$LIBFREETYPE_LIBS"; then
  echo ""
  echo "You're missing freetype2. KPovModeler will not display true type texts."
  echo "You can download it from"
  echo "http://www.freetype.org"
  echo ""
  all_tests=bad
fi

I'll ask upstream to deliver a proper installation guide.

Thank you for your help.
