The tdenetwork package replaces kdenetwork for KDE 3.5. The build system relies on '''autotools''' and has not been ported to [http://www.cmake.org cmake] yet. The kdenetwork build script can be used for tdenetwork, but some updates and tweaks are due. To guarantee a smooth build the following guidelines were followed:

Some configuration scripts required by the build procedure are missing from the source tarball. We create the makefiles using the make command:

Once the configuration successfully concludes, the script runs the make command then goes on with packaging the software.
