Description Manuel Fierlbeck 2002-11-29 13:22:22 UTC 
Version:            (using KDE KDE 3.0.9)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 2.95.3 
OS:          Linux

Open the "Add new target" dialog from the Automake Manager.
Select "Libtool library" in combo box "Primary".
Now you have to guess the prefix and the extension of the
target library you want to create. KDevelop actually knows
them, because it validates input.
Suggestion: set correct prefix and extension in text field
"Filename" and "Prefix" depending on selection in "Primary".

How should it know how to call the library (it is arbitrary, isn't it ?) or whether you want to use prefix "lib", "pkglib" or "noinst" with your "Libtool library"?
It is up to you to decide what is the right one for your project. Either I don't understand what this bug means or it might be invalid ?!
Comment 2 Andreas Pakulat 2007-01-06 03:03:16 UTC 
The prefix problem is fixed, as kdevelop has a drop-down there.

As Michael already said, we can't guess the library name.
