No problem, I'm happy you fixed it now :)

Mine too, but I've asked a friend who has more knowledge.

=46irst I gave him the list of files you added:

<kaol> config.guess and config.sub are autogenerated, at least (or actually=
=20
just copied form /usr/share/automake-something/)
<h01ger> so they should not be in svn?
<kaol> I would leave them out of svn
<kaol> missing, aclocal.m4 and install-sh might be autogenerated... hmm.
<kaol> src/Makefile.in is at least, if there's a src/Makefile.am

> dbruce@debian:~/tuxmath/trunk$ svn status

Then I gave him the list of files you didn't add. His reply:

<kaol> Makefile.am and src/Makefile.am should be added, at least
<h01ger> may i send those comments (with your nick) to the tuxmath list?=20
<kaol> sure
<kaol> I'm not familiar, by name alone at least, what Tuxmath.kdevses and=20
TuxMath.kdevelop.pcs are
<kaol> I'm not sure about Doxyfile, either
<kaol> src/fileops.c_BID needs to be looked at, too... The rest of the abov=
e=20
list looks autogenerated and/or unnecessary.

I think the *.kde* files don't need to be commited :)


Then I have another problem, "make clean" needs config.status, but this is=
=20
autogenerated. And I do call "make clean" in my debian-build scripts.

<h01ger> kaol, or not. i call "make clean" in the clean target and this fai=
ls=20
(with the files from svn). if i run "./configure" before "make clean", it=20
works. does config.status belong in svn?
<kaol> one convention that I have seen is to have some sort of autogen.sh i=
n=20
svn, which will generate all those autogenerated files, and that there woul=
d=20
be no expectation to have anything work after an export before that is run
<h01ger> a hackish workaround would be to run ./configure in the clean targ=
et=20
first, but that seems too hackish to me.
<kaol> perhaps doing automake;autoconf;aclocal;libtoolize (in some order, w=
ith=20
some flags) would make sense...
<kaol> sorry, being busy with other stuff now
* h01ger wonders what to do. basically all clean target in the Makefile cal=
l=20
the clean-recursive target :-/

I'll investigate that later, but I decided to send this mail now to share t=
his=20
information with you. (On a brief thought I think a autogen.sh would be=20
useful.)
