Description Brian Hart 2003-10-10 18:47:00 UTC
Version:           2.1.3 (using KDE 3.0.5)
Compiler:          gcc version 2.96 20000731 (Red Hat Linux 7.3 2.96-113)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-20.7

--- Description of Bug: ---

In KDevelop 2.1.3, I try to create a new C/C++ konsole application using the Application Wizard.  I use the default settings in the Application Wizard, click Create at the end of the process, and get errors (described further below).  When I attempt to Compile, Build, or Rebuild All, the same error occurs, preventing me from building the program.

--- Steps to Reproduce: ---

1. Open KDevelop.

2. Close any open project.

3. Click the Project menu, and then click New.

	- The ApplicationWizard appears.

4. Scroll down the list on the left, and, under 'Terminal', click 'C/C++', and then click Next.

5. On the Generate Settings page of the ApplicationWizard, fill in a project name, and then click Create.

6. In the "Processes" upper box, the following text appears:

Starting with installation

>LDFLAGS="" CFLAGS="-O0 -g3 -Wall" CXXFLAGS="-O0 -g3 -Wall"
>./configure

>sgml2html index.sgml
Processing file index.sgml
READY

In the lower box, the following appears:

make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
sh: ./configure: No such file or directory

7. Click the Build menu, and then click Make.

8. KDevelop shows the message:

Makefile Not Found
------------------

You want to build your project by running 'make' but there is no Makefile in this directory.

Hints:
	1. Probably you forgot to create the Makefiles.
	   In that case create them using Build->Configure.

	2. Or this directory does not belong to the project.
	   Check the settings in Project->Options->Make Options!

8. Click OK to dismiss the message.

9. Click Build, and then click Configure.

	- The "Configure with Arguments" window appears.  Leave the "Arguments" box 		
	blank, and then click OK.

10. The following message appears in the 'messages' tab of the Output window at the bottom of the screen:

/bin/sh: ./configure: No such file or directory 
*** failed *** 

Perhaps I do not have sufficient user permissions to run shell scripts etc.

*** YOU'RE USING Autoconf version 2.13.
*** KDE requires autoconf 2.52 or 2.53

Please install autoconf >= 2.52 and the problem will go away.

This is bug not valid because you are trying to run KDevelop without a software
that KDevelop depends upon (autoconf 2.52). Therefore this is not a bug.
