I thought I would get started with TDE programming, so I'm following the
steps in the Wiki Development section, "Qt Designer and KDevelop 3.0 for
Beginners". I followed the steps for creating the HelloWorld program
substituting TDevelop for KDevelop, and all went well until the Project Build
step, which failed, producing this output:

Hi,
unfortunately this is a lot of work to update to the latest TDE build
workflow and I am not sure if someone did something about it.
TDE is moving to cmake and ninja is used to speed up the builds. There are
also the build scripts in the repository. With those scripts you can build
the whole TDE or parts of it.
When I started working with TDE (I must thank here Michele and Slavek for
supporting me) I setup Eclipse (with the C++ view). In Eclipse I setup the
paths of the target (I build in chroot), so that Eclipse can handle the
includes. This way one can get information about functions and classes from
the include files.
As I build in chroot, I can not take advantage of the Eclipse build modules
and run the commands manually in the chroot.
I would still use TDevelop and especially the UI creator to inspect or
create ui files.
I hope it helps

Welcome to the club. I dropped tdevelop and use kate + Makefile, which works quite nice. I
think you could reuse the template applications to get started. But I don't make GUI
applications any more, all stuff is moved to webinterface or tui+http/telnet-server -->
my stuff is more barebones than it used to be :)

regarding the error
it is obvious that it comes from automake process trying libtool and it
seems there is version mismatch.
I don't know if you know automake tools. If not you should read about them
first.

replace the files in question with your correct version from your distribution, but these

May be asking here is the best and fingers crossed to get someone to help.
I can share my experience, but I had already a background in C/C++.
Unfortunately as mentioned TDevelop tools are not fully working - I mean the
build functionality. May be someone can share the experience.
What you need to know for the starter is
1. C/C++ (introduction - there are good books also online)
2. make and cmake, but some projects still use automake and outside of TDE
automake is widely used
3. you need a build environment based on your preferences.
4. go through some examples to get an idea how it works.
For example I wrote few years ago some examples how to use DBus
(dbus-1tqt)
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/deloptes/dbus-1-tqt-example
This is pretty simple and does not need any automake or cmake.
The build is in the shell script - so you will find out how to compile
simple binary
There are also other examples on the WIKI
5. in the repo there are the Debian build scripts by Michele, however he is
using another build system and I wrote my own build system based on make
files, but you are using OpenSUSE (RPMs), so might be not of any advantage
for you

The examples on the WIKI are also good. I remember I went through them.
Designer was causing me troubles as well and I recall there are bug reports
in TGW, but no one has the time to repair.
I am pretty happy with Eclipse. I have it installed and setup in 2018. I am
afraid to touch it (upgrade etc), because it is working very well. I can
only recommend. It has plugins for cmake as well and can autobuild.
You need to know besides the language itself C/C++ also some basics - how
include works, how build works (g++). To make life easier, people created
first automake and then cmake. Then you have the packaging system for the
distro. So when you write code you have the short way - to run g++ from the
command line with all the options, or to use one of the build systems.
If you want to create a package, you must use the packaging system on top of
the former.
It just takes time to sync in, so do a little step every day

This would work for KDE3 presumably, because it says KDevelop 3.0 and not

Interestingly, though the Kdevelop tools seem to be broken in various ways,

now I use the jEdit text editor, which has some quasi-build-environment
plugins, which I have not fooled with.

Heh. All of my skills are in the IBM mainframe
arena. I know a teeny
bit about C++ and make, but beyond that I'm clueless; but I'd like to
learn, if only I could find a mentor.
May be asking here is the best and fingers crossed to get someone to help.
I can share my experience, but I had already a background in C/C++.
Unfortunately as mentioned TDevelop tools are not fully working - I mean
the build functionality. May be someone can share the experience.
What you need to know for the starter is
1. C/C++ (introduction - there are good books also online)
2. make and cmake, but some projects still use automake and outside of TDE
automake is widely used
3. you need a build environment based on your preferences.
4. go through some examples to get an idea how it works.
For example I wrote few years ago some examples how to use DBus
(dbus-1tqt)
https://mirror.git.trinitydesktop.org/gitea/deloptes/dbus-1-tqt-example
This is pretty simple and does not need any automake or cmake.
The build is in the shell script - so you will find out how to compile
simple binary
There are also other examples on the WIKI
5. in the repo there are the Debian build scripts by Michele, however he is
using another build system and I wrote my own build system based on make
files, but you are using OpenSUSE (RPMs), so might be not of any advantage
for you

regarding the error
it is obvious that it comes from automake process trying libtool and it
seems there is version mismatch.
I don't know if you know automake tools. If not you should read about them
first.
