Compilation and Installation

In order to compile and install KMail on your system, type the following in the base directory of the KMail distribution:

% ./configure
% make
% make install

Since KMail uses autoconf and automake you should have no trouble compiling it. Should you run into problems please report them to the KDE mailing lists.

RE: how to compile the Kmail

I think ,the output message has tell that :
your some command has not find!
so ,you should detect the command using in the configure files;
you can using the make depend to look at the kmail need some library and the compile ,link tools;
help this can help you!

When you need help about some ./configure or make, post the relevant error messages. How could we figure what's going on if you don't give the real error messages

Did ./configure end with ok or does it tell you some library not found?
If make fails, what is the exact message?
