Bug 61353

please provide the relevant parts of config.log (should be near the bottom, the call to the 
compiler and the resulting error message). 

This file contains any messages produced by compilers while
running configure, to aid debugging if configure makes a mistake.

It was created by configure, which was
generated by GNU Autoconf 2.53.  Invocation command line was

  $ ./configure --prefix=/home/sviluppo/kdeHead
--with-extra-includes=/home/sviluppo/berkleyDB/include
--with-extra-libs=/home/sviluppo/berkleyDB/lib

configure: exit 1

LD_LIBRARY_PATH is for runtime libraries only, during compile time you have to use 
--with-extra-libs=/path/to/lib to let the compiler know where it can find the libraries. Check 
that the compiler is called with "-I/path/to/include" and "-L/path/to/lib -ldb". 

Well, as you see from the config.log I called configure with
--with-extra-libs=/home/sviluppo/berkleyDB/lib (and I'm sure that the path is
right, because editing configure by hand and adding the
-L/home/sviluppo/berkleyDB/lib parameter resolves all). As it appears in the
config.log the launch command was:

./configure --prefix=/home/sviluppo/kdeHead
--with-extra-includes=/home/sviluppo/berkleyDB/include
--with-extra-libs=/home/sviluppo/berkleyDB/lib 

Anyways, the "-L" command never made it to the compiler so it is an issue with the 
build-system, but not a KDevelop bug, please leave it resolved. 
 
I saw this problem with certain automake/autoconf versions which didn't pass compiler flgas 
correctly. I reproduced it with autoconf 2.57 and automake 1.7.2 and all worked fine. 
 
A workaround will be to "export CXXFLAGS="-L/path/to/lib" before configure. 

I thought I'd add to this, in case any one else has been having the same 
problem as me.  I also had gideon configure fail on Berkeley DB because of 
missing -L/-I options.  In the end, it turned out to be because I was using the 
"konstruct" tool to build KDE/gideon, and the first thing that does is to 
overwrite CXXFLAGS with CFLAGS.  As soon as I chucked the correct -L and -I 
flags into CFLAGS instead of CXXFLAGS, it all configured fine.
