missing variable PO in Makefile.am

[Falk Brettschneider]

Hi,

I did a workaround for now:
I removed the po/Makefile entry from the last line of configure.in in
the project's root directory. This works because I don't need
translation at the time and I can do that manually.

Hmmm...what didn't I install?:
In KDevelop1.1 itself:
- The C/C++ reference
- KDE-libs documentation
What didn't I choose in the Wizard?:
- GNU-standard files (INSTALL,README,COPYING)
- user documentation
- lsm-file
- program icon
- mini icon
- no author entry, no email address
- no VCS support
- no file header templates

Maybe there's something important disabled (?).

Indeed. It's horrorible for newbies in Qt who want to use that "easy"
KDevelop.
