[bt-devel] Makefile.am trouble

[Fred Saalbach]

Make problem
Today when I tried to make bibletime I ran into a problem that confuses
me.  The first error i found a work around..

Error 1

-------------------------
The solution seemed to be comment out line 20, it then reads:

18# not a GNU package. You can remove this line, if 
19# have all needed files, that a GNU package needs
20# AUTOMAKE_OPTIONS = foreign dist-bzip2 Removed by fred saalbach
21
11 datadir = $(kde_appsdir)/Applications

Now the error is below.  I was not able to figure out anything for this.
