Description Daniel Franke 2002-09-18 13:15:11 UTC 
Version:           2.1 (KDE 3.0.1) (using KDE KDE 3.0.1)
Installed from:    SuSE RPMs
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3 
OS:          Linux

I tried to distribute multiple projects in various subdirs in one .tar.gz using automake/autoconf in the topdir.

Now, `make dist` fails in target "dist-hook" since its trying to cd in a directory that isn't where its expected. I solved the problem myself by changing in each projects' subdirectory the Makefile.am from

--cut--
dist-hook:
	cd $(top_distdir) && perl admin/am_edit -padmin
	cd $(top_distdir) && $(MAKE) -f admin/Makefile.common subdirs
--cut--
to
--cut--
dist-hook:
	cd $(distdir) && perl admin/am_edit -padmin
	cd $(distdir) && $(MAKE) -f admin/Makefile.common subdirs
--cut--

'make dist' now works for each single project as well as for all at once.

I think this one is no longer valid

Not able to reproduce this on kdevelop 3.4 reversion 611280. 
Please reopen with more information if this continues.
