Hi all,

I'm trying to make a Debian package of kticker - but because the kdenonbeta
CVS archive seems to be based around KDE2 (and kticker is still KDE1.x.x),
I've moved my kticker subdirectory into my copy of the KDE1.1.2 kdenetwork
tree.

Now, when I use Taj's cvs2pack script (from kdesdk) to extract a copy of 
kticker - and then go and build a debian package of it, I always run into
problems because in the generated Makefile, I end up with lines like:

kde_appsdir = /usr/share/applnk
kde_bindir = /usr/bin
kde_cgidir = /usr/lib/cgi-bin

...when I should really be getting:

kde_appsdir = $(prefix)/share/applnk
kde_cgidir = $(prefix)/cgi-bin
kde_confdir = $(prefix)/share/config


Where can I get the relevant acinclude.m4.in/ac-whatever  files so that
it builds properly?

Cheers,

Paul.
