I see. Obviously you have set up the project as automake and thus be 
bound to the automake machinery.
As a last resort: Set up a short dummy using your make system, import 
that into KDevelop as custom project and then include your project 
files in it. That way KDevelop will never try to use Makefile.cvs etc.
