          Hello, all.  I am completely hobbled in
KDevelop since
         upgrading to
  3.5.13.1.  On 3.5.12, all worked fine.  Now, I
cannot          compile.  Not
  being a heavy duty programmer, I am somewhat
hampered in          troubleshooting
  this but it has me stopped in my tracks at work.

 I added a new .ui file and it corresponding subclasses and          tried to
  compile.  It failed immediately with an error
about tqt          missing but I'm
  building a qt3 application.  I ran distclean
followed by          automake and
  friends.  When I run configure, I receive a
warning about:

 checking if TQt is available... no
 configure: WARNING: You are attempting to compile Trinity          without the
  Trinity Qt Interface installed. Please install
         libtqtinterface-dev and
  try again!

 I've checked and libtqtinterface-dev is installed.  I don't          know
why
  it's even checking for TQt.

 When I try to build, I get:

 /usr/share/qt3/bin/moc
 /home/jsullivan/gitISCS/iscs/spm/src/acceptcadialog.h          acceptcadialog.moc
  Qt meta object compiler
 moc: Too many input files specified
 Usage: moc [options] <header-file>
 -o file Write output to file rather than stdout
 -f[file] Force #include, optional file name
 -p path Path prefix for included file
 -i Do not generate an #include statement
 -k Do not stop on errors
 -nw Do not display warnings
 -v Display version of moc
 make[2]: *** [acceptcadialog.moc] Error 1
 make[1]: *** [all-recursive] Error 1
 make: *** [all] Error 2
 *** Exited with status: 2 ***

 What is going on here? Is there a bug where the output file          in the moc
  command is not being preceded with a -o?

 I also thought it a bad indication when I checked my Qt          Options for the
  project and the Qt3 directory was set to /usr and
in glaring          red
  (meaning it is not a valid qt3 directory).  I
changed it          back
  to /usr/share/qt3 but it is still showing as
red.

 I'm very badly stuck on a major project so all help is          deeply
  appreciated.  Thanks - John          
         You are probably using an outdated admin/ directory in your
         project.  It
         is not very well known that kdevelop includes the same
         automake files as
         all other TDE applications in each project you create;
         unfortunately these
         files, once created, are never updated by kdevelop.  I would
         try replacing
         the admin/ directory inside your project with the latest
         3.5.13.1 version
         from GIT at http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/admin/.  Do NOT
         use the
         latest GIT head version; instead use the link for the 3.5.13.1
         SRU version
         (http://git.trinitydesktop.org/cgit/admin/snapshot/admin-3.5.13.1.tar.gz).

         Tim Thanks very much, Tim.  That did the trick.  Knowing very little about
automake, I have no idea why it worked but I've very glad it did! - John
