(*** This bug was imported into bugs.kde.org ***)

Package:           gideon
Version:           0.2_2.x (using KDE 3.0.2 )
Severity:          normal
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 3.1
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.19
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hi there

I made a new C++ project (Hello world program) using the create new project wizard. I then clicked the "Build project" button on the main toolbar. After being told that automake and friends had to be run (as expected) I selected yes to run them. This process fails due to a missing depcomp file. Selecting "Run automake and friends" from the Build menu yields the same results. The log in the messages window is as follows:

 cd /home/gareth/test && make -f Makefile.cvs
 aclocal
 autoheader

 automake
 autoheader: `config.h.in' is created

Am I missing something or is this a bug? I hope this helps you guys - you're doing a fantastic job with this new IDE :)

Sorry when I made the original bug report I completely forgot to include
version numbers for automake and autoconf - stupid of me!

Here we go:
Automake: 1.6.3
Autoconf: 2.53

I hope that helps shed some more light on the bug.

Cheers
Gareth

Hi

please specify your automake and autoconf version.

You need automake and autoconf >=3D 2.5.

Best regards
Harry

sorry this is what happens if you read your mail the wrong way round :)

can you try to remove the admin/ subdirectory of your project with the newe=
st=20
one from kde-common module in the main kde CVS? Does the error still appear=
=20
if you rerun automake/autoconf?

Best regards

I'm sorry this is such a late reply. My computer has been down for a few
days because of the gcc3.2 upgrade - I've had to recompile everything on
my system. Because of that I don't have a working version of gideon to
test this with - the latest cvs (as of this morning) doesn't compile.

As soon as I have a working copy of gideon I'll get back to you with the
results of your test.

Cheers
Gareth
