I'm on Fedora-11-x86_64 with KDevelop 3.5.4. I have automake 1.11 installed, but when I attempt to run automake and friends on a new project I get:
*** YOU'RE USING automake (GNU automake) 1.11
*** KDE requires automake 1.6.1 or newer
I reported(KDevelop) the error Bug: 210084
Answer: wontfix
Does anybody can help? I have to keep on with my job(SW develop).
You are correct -- it is newer. This would be a bug in kdevelop's automake scripts.
Linking to your actual bug report would have been helpful. Here's the report where they tell you they're not going to fix that version of KDevelop since it's too old, uses KDE3, and is unmaintained. This implies the existence of a newer kdevelop that is maintained and uses KDE4. Time to upgrade your desktop to KDE4. Or downgrade automake to 1.6.x.
This is far from the first time automake has flagrantly broken itself, though. It's also bloated itself beyond dreams of bloat. You might be better off with makefiles and DDD than an all-singing all-dancing automake-based monstrosity. Automake does to make what MS Word does to HTML.
Ok,
It is dificult: KDevelp4 should not be used for production code. May be it could be better to stay on my Qt3 Creator, and wait for KDevelop4/Qt4 that will come with Fedora13. It's a shame. I'll try to test Kdevelop4 and I accept sugestions/comments.
Thanks.
Right, of course the code quality is ok. The case is that I always search for better maintenance tools and looking to the future, in the "Project Management" KDev4 "Can't open KDevelop 3.x project files (any build tool supported in the 3.x versions)". In the "qmake Manager" no KDev4 compatibility. Even with all the for and against, I'll test/change to KDevelop4. Because I don't like the idea of downgrading. Do you agree?
Thanks for your opinion.
It's realy a shame. Are these friends from Kdevelop realy serious? Or the enemy is under control? It seems they are kidding. It could be so beaultiful. why loose all this works that was done? Why we don't understand each other stopping with so many linux flavors? We should not be so dumb and follow the exemple of Europe with the euro. We could have the "Euro-Linux" called "PeaceMaker" or "UNIXfier". This way, it goes easy for M$, and the money is winning, and the SW lovers(open SW) are loosing. The best way to do the best is loving the job/work that you do. SW also has a beauty, and we can be happy with it.
What good(Linux) maintenance (IDE)tool you suggest?
Thanks.
The reason no GUI IDE has succeeded at bringing the world together in an all-singing-all-dancing-platform-independent-joy despite the droves of them in existence is that they're the wrong solution for the problem of general maintenance. An IDE by nature isn't flexible enough for general maintenance, they by design impose huge restrictions on their environment. That, and most of them depend on autotools, which have their own problems.
