Description Holger Schröder 2004-02-19 14:39:13 UTC
Version:           3.0.0 (using KDE 3.2.0, Gentoo)
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3.2 20031218 (Gentoo Linux 3.3.2-r5, propolice-3.3-7)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.6.3-gentoo

Hi,

i think it is quite annoying, that the automake manager of kdevelop 3 writes all files in the Makefile.am in one line. so when i have 20+ files in a project, it is hard to find the errors, when you work with several people on one project.

when two people have added two different classes, you will get a cvs collision, and you have to compare these two different very long lines.

i tried to break the makefile.am statement up by hand to something like this:

# which sources should be compiled for rpclient
rpclient_SOURCES = main.cpp rphauptmenubase.ui rpclient.cpp \
        rpclientview.cpp pref.cpp rpclientiface.skel rphauptmenu.h \
        rphauptmenu.cpp rpbuchung.h rpbuchungslauf.h rpbuchungslauf.cpp

but after the next start of kdevelop, it had removed the lines again and the statement was one long line again. but the tabs were still in the line.

so it would be good, if the tabs could be recognized, when saving the makefile.am, and when they could be replaced by a "backslash-newline-tab", so that the resulting makefile.am is more readable. it would even be better, if kdevelop would break lines, which are too long ( longer than 80 chars ) up into several shorter ones.


thanks, Holger

That would break unsermake (a German version of automake that is heavily used in KDE).

Until unsermake supports the backslash we cannot do it.

??? I use unsermake to compile kde from cvs and have no problems with e.g. 
kdeutils/khexedit/Makefile.am. Or do I miss something?

Is there already a way to vote for a bug by email? Then this bug gets 10 votes 
from me, too.

Nope, you're not missing anything, Amilcar is just wrong (and unsermake is by no means "German" unless you wanted to say that Coolo is German, which I think he knows already). As far as the bug goes, yeah, it's really nasty.

kdevelop 3.4 branch at least at revision 611365, breaks the files line at about 80 characters to a line. 

Example of line:

teste_SOURCES = teste.cpp thisiasafile.cpp thisiasafile2.cpp thisiasafile3.cpp \
        thisiasafile4.cpp thisiasafile5.cpp thisiasafile6.cpp
