When I do: ./configure --prefix=/opt/trinity --enable-closure I get: ... Detected TQt4... ... configure: error: Qt (>= Qt 4.3 and < 5.0) (headers and libraries) not found. Please check your installation! --enable-closure adjusts KDE_USE_CLOSURE_TRUE, KDE_USE_CLOSURE_FALSE and KDE_NO_UNDEFINED. The first two are not used in kdeadmin. The third sets the linker to "-Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined". That fixes the need to use LDFLAGS, but it doesn't help detect dcopidl2cpp and dcopidl2cpp. So: CPPFLAGS='-I/opt/trinity/include/tqt' \ ./configure --prefix=/opt/trinity --enable-closure make TQTDCOPIDL=dcopidl2cpp TQTDCOPIDL2CPP=dcopidl2cpp now works. I suppose I could use: export CPLUS_INCLUDE_PATH='/opt/trinity/include/tqt' ./configure --prefix=/opt/trinity --enable-closure as an alternative to CPPFLAGS. And yes, the instructions for 3.5.10 worked fine without hacks: http://www.linuxfromscratch.org/blfs/view/svn/kde/kdeadmin.html -- Bruce
