Hi Marcus,

try this:

after the kdevelop specific part

---------- snip ------------
IDLSOURCES = $(wildcard *.idl)
EXTRA_DIST = $(wildcard *.cpp) $(IDLSOURCES)
 
boersenmarkt_SOURCES = $(wildcard *.cpp) $(patsubst %.cc, %.idl,
$(IDLSOURCES))                        

%.cc %.h: %.idl
         $(IDLCOMPILER) $(IDLARGS) $<

---------- snip ------------

It should work...

Bye

Walter
