Version: (using KDE KDE 3.5.7) Installed from: Compiled From Sources Compiler: gcc (GCC) 4.1.2 OS: Linux I'm unable to 'make dist' with the kst 1.5 SVN branch. The steps I've been taking are: 1) svn co svn+ssh://svn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/work/kst/1.5 2) cd 1.5 3) make -f Makefile.cvs 4) ./configure --disable-debug 5) make dist the output I get is: { test ! -d 1.5-3.5.7 || { find 1.5-3.5.7 -type d ! -perm -200 -exec chmod u+w {} ';' && rm -fr 1.5-3.5.7; }; } mkdir 1.5-3.5.7 mkdir -p -- 1.5-3.5.7/admin 1.5-3.5.7/kst cp: cannot stat `./Makefile.am.in.wo': No such file or directory The 1.5 branch otherwise seems to compile, install and run cleanly.
I get the same problem for the 1.4 branch as well - so is this actually a problem or something that has never been supported? Do we need to do this?

Do we need to do this? Hmm... possibly my mistake. After tracing back what I did in the past, it looks like the thing to do is use svn2dist instead of `make dist', which does work for 1.5. And that's what I was using for 1.4 (where make dist doesn't work for me either.) So, I'm not sure if this is a bug or not. Should make dist work from SVN? -dvw
Don I was just about to say, use svn2dist (and back in the cvs days, it was called cvs2dist). make dist never worked as far as I know. Closing this bug.
