Description zakariya 2002-11-26 17:18:57 UTC 
Version:           unknown (using KDE 3.0.9)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.95.3 20010315 (release)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.17

I use the wizard to make a new project, and after setting things up, and clicking finish, I click"run autoconf and friends" -- but it immediately fails because it tries to use autoconf 2.13 -- now, I have both 2.13 and 2.53a -- and I have the environment variable WANT_AUTOCONF_2_5=1 -- so if I invoke autoconf I *always* get 2.53a.

So -- I can go to a konsole, and run make -f Makefile.cvs and it works fine. But for some reason, gideon tries to use autconf 2.13 anyway.

Baffling.

Resolved in CVS.  A configuration option now exists to set environment variables before 
running "automake & friends".  Patch provided by Hannes Mehnert (hannes@gentoo.org).
