Package:           kdevelop
Version:           2.0.1 (using KDE 2.2.1 )
Severity:          wishlist
Installed from:    Mandrake RPMs
Compiler:          Not Specified
OS:                Linux
OS/Compiler notes: Mandrake 8.1

I'm working on a project that contains several subdirectories and some subderoctires inside others... all of them with source code that turns into a static library (thanks to KDevelop it was so easy!).
But I have a problem some directories need the header files of other directories so I would like to add them to the include path but I don't want to declare a full path because that makes unversatile my project. so I use $(top_srcdir) but I don't know why when I write -I$(top_srcdir) on the compiler options I just get an sh (shell) error when runing autoconf/automake or ocnfigure and of course it's not added if I write -I$$(top_srcdir) as someone told me it's added but the $ are replaced by a random number so I get -I22334(top_srcdir). I'm not sure if this is a bug as long as I know I'll report it.
So I end modifying Makefile.am by hand and runing make force-reedit because kdevelop writes Makefile.am and what I did gets lost.
So I think this should be configurable (maybe this is configurable or the right way to work is diferent if this is the case I'm really sorry) I don't have any idea of how to add this feature as long as you don't have per directory configuration and there is one Makeilfe.am per directory but adding a extended including field in the compiler options would be nice (of course there should work that variables top_srcdir etc etc).
Thank you.
