Subject : error making .tar.gz distribution

Error Class	: software bug
Error Location	: I don´t know
Priority	: low
Bug Description ---------------------------

when i try to make a tar.gz version of my program (that I originally
made with kdevelop 1.1 and slightly older versions of
automake/autoconf) from the project menu I get the following output:

rm -rf kollector-1.00
mkdir kollector-1.00
chmod 777 kollector-1.00
here=`cd . && pwd`; \
top_distdir=`cd kollector-1.00 && pwd`; \
distdir=`cd kollector-1.00 && pwd`; \
cd . \
  && automake --include-deps --build-dir=$here --srcdir-name=. --output-dir=$top_distdir --foreign Makefile
aclocal.m4: 2786: `AM_PROG_INSTALL' is obsolete; use `AC_PROG_INSTALL'
make: *** [distdir] Error 1
*** failed ***

How to repeat the error -------------------

make a project with kdevelop 1.1 and autoconf/automake versions that come
with debian linux 2.1, then upgrade to kdevelop 1.2 and newer
autoconf/automake.

Choose from menu
project -> make distribution -> tgz

Bugfix or Workaround ----------------------

Changed line 2786 of file 'aclocal.m4' from 

[AC_REQUIRE([AM_PROG_INSTALL])

to

[AC_REQUIRE([AC_PROG_INSTALL])


you can also fix the problem by changing the version number of the
project, which causes the makefiles to be automatically regenerated using 
the (new versions of) automake/autoconf and fixes the problem.
