From Bugzilla Helper: User-Agent: Mozilla/5.0 (X11; U; Linux i686; en-US; rv:1.4b) Gecko/20030516 Mozilla Firebird/0.6 Description of problem: In redhat 9, autoconf 2.57-3 is provided. This causes kdevelop to not be able to build a project. Kdevelop only works with autoconf-2.53. I dont know if this is a bug in kdevelop or autoconf. Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable): autoconf-2.57-3 How reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1.start kdevelop 2.create a new project using the wizard 3.The project will fail the autoconf step Actual Results: The autoconf step fails with a messages "Undefined Macro: AC_Dest" If I uninstall autoconf, and install the one from redhat 8.0 (autoconf 2.53-8), the same procedure works fine. Expected Results: the configure script should have been automatically generated, and kdevelop should be able to build the project. Additional info:
This happens with more programs using the KDE autoconf/automake "hack set". I haven't been able to find the case though.
autoconf 2.57 gives this: configure.in:131: error: m4_popdef: undefined macro: AC_Dest autoconf/status.m4:844: AC_CONFIG_FILES is expanded from... configure.in:131: the top level autom4te: /usr/bin/m4 failed with exit status: 1 autoconf 2.53 is working correctly.
This is apparently some bug in the KDE macro set; upgrading to latest kapptemplate solved the problem for me.
Ok, thanks. I'll close this for now then. If there is still a problem, please reopen.
