Convert to autotools project fails [message #209174]

Hi,
I have Eclipse 3.3.1.1 / CDT 4.2/ AUtotools 9.6

I checked out a C/autotools project from a CVS based on autotools 9.5.3.

In order for eclipse to recognize it I need to transform it into a
autotol project but this operation fails. The error message is:

Problems encountered while setting project description.
Nature com.redhat.eclipse.cdt.autotools.autotoolsNature is missing
prerequisite nature: org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.mangedBuildNature.

I can't even see the project properties.

Any ideas?

Tex.

HI again,
I solved the problem by copying and adapting the .cproject file from
another working autotools project.

Hello,
I run into the same problem again and I realize that there seems to be a
problem with the spelling of the world "managed". The error says:

Problems encountered while setting project description.
Nature com.redhat.eclipse.cdt.autotools.autotoolsNature is missing
prerequisite nature:
org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.mangedBuildNature.

Where "mangedBuildNature" is missing a A. If I replace in the .project file
<nature>org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.managedBuildNature </nature>
by
<nature>org.eclipse.cdt.managedbuilder.core.mangedBuildNature </nature>

the transformation to a Autotool project runs fine ..

Is that a bug ?
