Description Timo Lindfors 2010-06-14 13:16:32 UTC

Version:           CVS (using Devel) 
OS:                Linux

As seen in bug #240597:

$ svn co svn://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/branches/extragear/kde3/graphics
$ cd graphics
$ make -f Makefile.cvs
This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution

*** YOU'RE USING automake (GNU automake) 1.11.1.
*** KDE requires automake 1.6.1 or newer



Reproducible: Always

Which application are you trying to compile?

Comment 2 Timo Lindfors 2010-06-14 16:14:10 UTC

Kst. The issue was discussed in bug #240597 and now reported as a separate bug.

Comment 3 David Palacio 2010-07-01 15:56:58 UTC

I get this when trying to build kdelibs 3.5 so, I guess everything from KDE3 is affected.

Comment 4 Stephan Kulow 2010-07-07 06:26:17 UTC

please install older automake version or patch yourself. KDE 3 is no longer maintained in a way that we would adapt to newer automake releases. As far as I know you can install different automake versions in parallel.
