BTW: The am_edit is not the last problem. automake > 1.4 (i.e. automake-1.5, automake-1.6, automake-1.6.1 ,excludes some pixmaps from installation (perhaps they don't look good ;-)
Of course I cannot say whether this is a KDE or automake or autoconf problem. All I know is till automake-1.4 the following worked: In "icons" directory: $ cat Makefile.am data_ICON = 128thnote 32ndnote 64thnote beamednote cleficon cross dottednote \ ... perccross ... repopenclose ... tinyeight ... $ make -f admin/Makefile.common (that is "aclocal", "automake") in "icons" directory: $ cat Makefile.in ... install-kde-icons: $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/hi32-action-128thnote.png $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/hicolor/32x32/actions/128thnote.png $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/hi32-action-128thnote.png $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/hicolor/32x32/actions/128thnote.png .... and so on , but there is no: $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/hi32-action-perccross.png ... .. $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/hi32-action-repopenclose.png ... .. $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/hi32-action-tinyeight.png ... .. And I can't see any speciality concerning these 3 icons. All I can say: I downgraded to automake-1.4: All works (besides the English tips) If you like you can download the example from: http://rnvs.informatik.tu-chemnitz.de/automakeerror/automakeerror.html tar -xvzf nnn1.tgz cd noteedit-1.18.3a make -f admin/Makefile.common cd noteedit/icons $ cat Makefile.am data_ICON = 128thnote 32ndnote 64thnote beamednote cleficon cross dottednote \ ... perccross ... repopenclose ... tinyeight ... $ cat Makefile.in ... install-kde-icons: $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/hi32-action-128thnote.png $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/hicolor/32x32/actions/128thnote.png $(INSTALL_DATA) $(srcdir)/hi32-action-128thnote.png $(DESTDIR)$(datadir)/hicolor/32x32/actions/128thnote.png .... As you can see perccross, repopenclose and tinyeight is excluded from installation.(?) -- J.Anders, Chemnitz, GERMANY ([EMAIL PROTECTED])
