Description Konrad Rosenbaum 2004-05-16 14:16:54 UTC
Version:           3.0.3 (using KDE KDE 3.2.2)
Installed from:    Compiled From Sources
Compiler:          gcc 3.3.3 
OS:                Linux

I cannot find the switch to disable KDevelop 3.x from manipulating my Makefile.am files. I usually prefer to handcraft these. Esp. when KDevelop starts to confuse new and deleted files or when I have to handle file types that KDevelop does not know.

KDevelop 2.x was able to switch that off.

KDevelop2 was a different program. That you can't do this in an Automake project in KDevelop3 is not a bug, it's by design. At best you could file this as a wishlist item, but I think you  would be better off just importing the project as a Custom Project, where KDevelop will not attempt to play with your Makefiles in any way.
