Bug#46704: Running automake and friends fails for C++ program

[g.clay at warwick.ac.uk]

Package: gideon
Version: 0.2_2.x (using KDE 3.0.2 )
Severity: normal
Installed from:    compiled sources
Compiler:          gcc version 3.1
OS:                Linux (i686) release 2.4.19
OS/Compiler notes: 

Hi there,

I made a new C++ project (Hello world program) using the create new project wizard. I then clicked the "Build project" button on the main toolbar. After being told that automake and friends had to be run (as expected), I selected yes to run them. This process fails due to a missing depcomp file. Selecting "Run automake and friends" from the Build menu yields the same results. The log in the messages window is as follows:

 cd /home/gareth/test && make -f Makefile.cvs
 aclocal
 autoheader

 automake
 autoheader: `config.h.in' is created
 src/Makefile.am: required file `./depcomp' not found
 make: *** [all] Error 1

Am I missing something, or is this a bug? I hope this helps you guys - you're doing a fantastic job with this new IDE :)
