Kdevelop Failing To Build Kde Projects

I'm using KDE 3.5 with Kdevelop, I've installed the KDE development, QT Development and C/C++ development patterns in YaST.

However every time I try to compile a program I get:

*** Creating aclocal.m4
acinclude.m4:3699: the serial number must appear before any macro definition
acinclude.m4:3744: the serial number must appear before any macro definition

Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
gmake[1]: *** [cvs] Error 1
gmake: *** [all] Error 2
*** Exited with status: 2 ***
[/b]

Obviously something here isn't right and I haven't really found that it's happened to anyone else from googling. Anyone have any idea how to help this? The files "news", "readme" and "authors" exist so they appear to have been created, but in lower-case. But the file INSTALL doesn't exist at all

Oh and running "automake --add-missing" in the folder gives me:

Makefile.am: installing `./INSTALL'; error while making link: Operation not permitted
Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
[/b]

I was having this same problem and couldn't figure it out:

Makefile.am: required file `./NEWS' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./README' not found
Makefile.am: required file `./AUTHORS' not found
[/b]

Chances are, it's a FAT or similar file system. I was not able to create a file with a name INSTALL, it would automatically make the name install, and likewise for any other files with all caps in their name. The automake tools will be case sensitive and won't find the files. Try on a ext3 filesystem or something like that. I know it sucks for windows compatibilty, but ya gotta do what ya gotta do.
