Description of problem: Anjta gives the following error message when trying to import an existing project... Could not find a valid project backend for the directory given (/home/bchrist/devel/helloworld). Please select a different directory, or try upgrading to a newer version of the Gnome Build Framework. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): rpm -qa |grep anjuta anjuta-gdl-0.6.1-5.fc6 anjuta-docs-2.0.2-11.fc6 anjuta-2.0.2-11.fc6 How reproducible: Everytime Steps to Reproduce: 1. Using the menu item New->Project from existing sources, try to import an existing C/C++ project 2. 3. Actual results: Error message Expected results: New project Additional info:
Can you have a look and see if the version in rawhide fixes this problem? You'll need to also update anjuta-gdl and gnome-build. If it works, I'll give it a week for it to settle down and import and build for core.
Here's what I installed: rpm -Uvh anjuta-2.1.0-1.fc7.i386.rpm anjuta-gdl-0.7.0-1.fc7.i386.rpm gnome-build-0.1.4-2.fc7.i386.rpm anjuta-docs-2.1.0-1.fc7.i386.rpm graphviz-2.12-2.fc7.i386.rpm I still get the same error message.
FYI: they disabled this in anjuta intentionally, as it wasn't working properly.
Reassigning to myself since I own this package now.

Marc, Debarshi, Has this feature been reinstated (since comment #3). If so, I will test it on Fedora 8. Bryan
Importing a project from existing sources works for me on anjuta-2.2.3-5. You can take it from the updates-testing repositories for F-8. Alternatively you can grab the package from: http://koji.fedoraproject.org/koji/packageinfo?packageID=1302 If it works, you might want to give a positive karma to the anjuta-2.2.3-5 package here: https://admin.fedoraproject.org/updates/anjuta Let us know how it turned out for you.
Retested with package: anjuta-2.2.3-6.fc8.i386.rpm I got this error message when trying to import: Could not find a valid project backend for the directory given (/home/bchrist/devel/hiwire/hwclient). Please select a different directory, or try upgrading to a newer version of the Gnome Build Framework.
(In reply to comment #8) What build-system are you using in the projects that you are trying to import? Can you upload a tarball of /home/bchrist/devel/hiwire/hwclient somewhere on the Internet?
If the problem persists or reoccurs feel free to re-open this bug.
