Description Lucélio Gomes de Freitas 2009-10-10 15:25:03 UTC 
Version:           kdevelop - devel.x86_64 9:3.5.4-3.fc11 (using KDE 4.3.1)
OS:                Linux
Installed from:    Fedora RPMs

I'm on the most updated Fedora-11-x86_64 with KDevelop 3.5.4-3.fc11. I have automake 1.11 installed, but when I attempt to run automake and friends on a new project I get:

*** YOU'RE USING automake (GNU automake) 1.11
*** KDE requires automake 1.6.1 or newer

Ps: Am I right to say (1.11 > 1.6.1)?
Comment 1 Andreas Pakulat 2009-10-10 17:44:45 UTC 
Yes you're right, but the checks in the automake-files provided by kde3 are not flexible enough to handle that. As KDE3 and with that KDevelop3 are completely unmaintained since 2 years, this won't change.
Comment 2 Lucélio Gomes de Freitas 2009-10-10 17:55:49 UTC 
Ok.

Please, I accept sugestions where to go from now.
what ways I should take to go on with my jobs.   I need an IDE to work.

Thanks.

Comment 3 Lucélio Gomes de Freitas 2009-10-11 14:19:27 UTC 
Sorry,

I did't understand.   I said using most updated Fedora-11-x86_64 with KDevelop 3.5.4-3.fc11 (KDE 4.3.1)

Thanks.
Comment 4 Amilcar do Carmo Lucas 2009-10-11 15:28:14 UTC 
What Andreas meant was:
That part of the code belongs to KDE3 build system. The KDE3 developers are no longer working on that code since two years.
KDevelop3 relies on that code, so unless you fix it, or convince the old KDE3 developers to fix it, no one on the KDevelop team will fix it for you (it is not KDevelop3 code).

So basically downgrade automake to 1.9 and that's it.
Comment 5 Andreas Pakulat 2009-10-11 19:27:05 UTC 
and its still a wontfix.
