           Summary: automake, autoconf, libtools, gcc, and g++ are not
                    installed by default
           Product: kdevelop
           Version: unspecified
          Platform: Compiled Sources
        OS/Version: Linux
            Status: UNCONFIRMED
          Severity: normal
          Priority: NOR
         Component: general
        AssignedTo: kdevelop-bugs kdevelop org
        ReportedBy: matthewabrand yahoo co uk


Version:            (using KDE Devel)
Installed from:    Compiled sources
OS:                Linux

I am a relatively new user of LINUX/KDE/KDEVELOP, used to using Windows/VBA/Visual \
Studio etc... 

The first hurdle with KDEVELOP is getting the "hello world" program to compile and \
run. It does not work "out of the box". It has taken me ages to achieve this so I \
thought I would tell you guys what problems I had because I think it can be made \
easier for others without much effort at all.

What I have done is:
Installed KBUNTO on VirtualBox on my laptop running Windows XP
Used the Adept package manager to install KDEVELOP
Tried to compile and run the "simple Hello World" project

-> at this stage lots of errors occur in the "make" process, which I do not know much \
about at all.

Next I:
Searched for some of the keywords in the error report and eventually discovered that \
I did not have gcc, g++, automake, autoconf or libtools.

Once I installed them using the Adept package manager, the program compiles and runs \
nicely.

Would it be possible to make it so that when kdevelop is installed, the user is \
warned that those other packages need to be installed before any programs will \
compile and run?

The problem I have always had with using Linux in the past is that I end up spending \
all day installing and configuring stuff (and ending up in a complete mess) and \
hardly any time actually doing stuff I need to do. Kbunto is really good and kdevelop \
looks great, they are both close to a point where you can just download them and they \
work. Just thought that if this change was made then that process would be much \
closer.

Thanks,
Matthew Brand.
