Bug 30216 – KDevelop refuses to create projects that use admin.tar.gz

• Product: Gentoo Linux
• Status: RESOLVED FIXED

[Description KF1RdJJ3VXc 2003-10-02 17:07:50 UTC]

Trying to create a new project that uses admin.tar.gz (All of them except
'GNOME/Normal' or 'custom project'?) fails.

Reproducible: Always
Steps to Reproduce:
1. Start KDevelop.
2. Go to Project | New.
3. Click Next.
4. Fill out a Project name.
5. Click Next 4 times.
6. Click Create.

Actual Results:

And then in the bottom window:

Expected Results:  
Completed creating the project successfully.

I tried modifying /usr/share/apps/kdevelop/templates/admin.tar.gz's
detect-autoconf.sh to force it to use the latest tools like so:

AUTOCONF="/usr/bin/autoconf-2.57a"
AUTOHEADER="/usr/bin/autoheader-2.57a"
AUTOM4TE="/usr/bin/autom4te-2.57a"
AUTOMAKE="/usr/bin/automake-1.7"
ACLOCAL="/usr/bin/aclocal-1.7"

but then I get:

Any thoughts on how I can get this working?

[Comment 1 KF1RdJJ3VXc 2003-10-02 17:10:25 UTC]

Err, forgot to mention this is with KDevelop 2.1.5

[Comment 2 Caleb Tennis (RETIRED) 2004-02-29 15:55:23 UTC]

This should all be fixed in the 3.x versions of kdevelop.
