All
As of some recent change, kdevelop 2.14 will no longer build a project successfully, as the autoconf/etc process fails when it tries to make a configure script.

Code:

This Makefile is only for the CVS repository
This will be deleted before making the distribution
*** Creating acinclude.m4
!!! If you get recursion errors from autoconf, it is advisable to set the
environment variable M4 to something including "--nesting-limit=500"
*** Creating list of subdirectories
*** Creating configure.in
*** Creating aclocal.m4
*** Creating configure
configure.in:76: error: m4_popdef: undefined macro: AC_Dest
/var/tmp/portage/autoconf-2.54/work/autoconf-2.54/lib/autoconf/status.m4:844: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from...
configure.in:76: the top level
autom4te-2.54: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1
make[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
make: *** [all] Error 2
*** failed ***


Notice the "/var/tmp/portage/autoconf..." stuff.
First off, I those files/directories, simply don't exist, secondly, this is just plain preposterous. Why would kdevelop/automake/autoconf/etc look there? I'm baffled.

Please, if anybody has any idea whatsoever, help me out. My existing kdevelop projects still build, and that's great, but I need to make a short, quick test project to verify and work out some ideas I've had (for a large project I'm working on) and I'd prefer to do this in a separate project for testing purposes.

I'm BAFFLED.

Well, while I haven't solved the problem, I was able to work around it by:

Code:

zakariya@golem CardDesk $ cp -a autom4te.cache/ ../layouttest/
zakariya@golem CardDesk $ cp -a admin/ ../layouttest/
zakariya@golem CardDesk $ cp *.m4 ../layouttest/


Where I was in the project directory of the (working) older project and layouttest is the new project with the problems.

Now, everything builds and whatnot. Like I said, this is not a solution, but at least I can get back to work.

Still... does ANYBODY KNOW what the hell is going on?

I don't have a solution for you, but my guess would be that it's because your auto* stuff is newer than when kdevelop was being actively developed.
