That is definitely an Automake problem. Are you using SVN or the 3.5.12 tarballs?
I'm using the tarballs.
I have run into that problem before, basically ever since an unknown update to Auomake/Autoconf/etc. occurred. Robert is correct in that CMake will replace Automake soon, and will definitely be preferred in the future.
Noted, i'll look into updating the build process to account for this.
For some reason, $(LIB_QT) is not being added to the LD_ADD string during processing of Makefile.am files. I don't know why this is; I do know that it is platform dependent and that building still works on Debian Lenny/Debian Squeeze, but is broken under Ubuntu Maverick.
I've tried manually adding $(LIB_QT) to the kappfinder/Makefile in this line:
kappfinder_LDADD = $(LIB_KDEUI) $(LIB_KIO) $(LIB_QT)
But it doesn't help, so i'm guessing that's not enough (I'm a bit of a novice with make files). Am I better of just switching to cmake with the expectation that it will cure the problem, or is it worth trying to trace this?
