           Summary: Problems adding subdir to a KDE2 project definition
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: 2.1.5
          Platform: SuSE RPMs
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: NEW
          Severity: crash
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general

Version:           2.1.5 (using KDE 3.1.1)
Installed from:    SuSE
Compiler:          gcc version 3.3 20030226 (prerelease) (SuSE Linux)
OS:          Linux (i686) release 2.4.20-4GB

I am using a project originally defined in KDE2, I tried to add a sub-directory (btw
there seems to be no obvious way to do this in the KDevelop menus).  Having
made a directory and added a file to the project in that directory, KDevelop
generated a Makefile.am in the directory, but Autoconf, Automake and Configure
in the Build menu failed to create a Makefile.in and Makefile.  All recursive Make
and Rebuild operations then crashed, because the new sub-dir was the first one
entered in the "depth first" recursion.  Consequently the project could not be rebuilt.

I was eventually able to work around the problem by manually editing "config.in"
and adding the path of the required Makefile near the end of "config.in".

I did not have this problem with a project created since I installed KDE3.
