Question regarding failing configure script

[Jens Zurheide]

Hi,

I haven't tried any of the approaches and it might be that they do not work. 
I think it is time to install kdevelop 2.1 sometime (again).

I think that this originates from some stuff in the files configure.in.in or 
configure.in, depending on the version of KDevelop you have created your 
project originally. I think older versions used configure.in and newer 
versions use configure.in.in. Either you search in those files for 
everything that has something to do with "KDE" and maybe remove these lines 
or you create a QT-only project and compare this configure file templates 
against your project file. I don't envy you....

As far as I remember these are indicators for the TAB-char (\t). There are 
several approaches to remove the tabs. Use indent and play with the 
parameters is one of them. The disadvantage is that you will not recognice 
your sources any more unless you have really good rules for indent. But 
this may be performed in a batch. Another approach is to mark the TAB-char 
and open the "Find and Replace" Dialog. Either the marked text is already 
pasted into the Search field or you have to copy it there with the middle 
mouse button. In the Replace field you just enter the amount of spaces you 
want for the tabs. The drawback is that you have to do it for every single 
file. Then there are the programs called "sed" and "perl" that could be 
used for easy tab to spaces conversion. For sed you must look into the man 
pages, sorry (because I don't know the commands definitely, maybe 'sed 
-e"s/\t/<spaces>/"' (No garantee!)). For perl it might be something like 
" find . -name *.cpp | xargs perl -pi -e 's,\t,<spaces>,' " for all 
cpp-files. <spaces> must be exchanged with the number of desired spaces for 
each tab.

I hope these were the correct answers to your questions ;-)
Hope that helped,

Jens
