Version: CVS HEAD (using KDE KDE 3.2.0) Installed from: Debian testing/unstable Packages The KDE build scripts support dcopidl. You just have to add "foo.skel" and/or "foo.stub" files in the _SOURCES field, and the scripts will build the corresponding foo_skel.cpp and foo_stub.{cpp,h} for you, using foo.h The problem here is that the automake part does not support adding non-existent files.
True. The hackish workaround - create "blank" files with the needed name and add them to the target. This will get the build system to do the right thing. There need be explicit support though, I agree.
The workaround I use now is to manually edit the Makefile.am and then reload the project. Since I don't create skel and stub files very often, it's enough for now. The bugreport was just to get sure it would be fixed in future releases.
I don't think its reasonable to completely limit the files that can be added to a target, the file-dialog of course should supply a reasonable default filter for code-files, but you shouldn't limit the user to add other file types. Changing the summary accordingly
this should work nowadays actually. in kdev4
