Jay, All,

  I have crystal 1.0.7 building on 3.5.13 from git --> ALMOST. Here is what I
did. I need help knowing how to incorporate the cludges correctly, but that's
what the smart folks on the list are for :)  What was needed to get crystal
1.0.7 to configure and begin make on tde was: (my prefix = /opt/trinity)



(1) create a link in /opt/trinity/lib

    trinity -> kde3

that let's the build find the designer libs

(2) build with:

./configure --prefix=${TDEDIR} --with-qt-dir=${QTDIR}
--with-extra-includes=${TDEDIR}/include/tqt

  That takes the build almost to completion:

/bin/sh ../../libtool --silent --mode=link --tag=CXX g++  -Wno-long-long -Wundef
-ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W

dev/ammo suggested:

sed 's#$PREFIX/lib/kde3#$PREFIX/lib/trinity#g'

which I think will work, but I can't figure out how to apply it to configure. We
are getting close. Please add thoughts and I'll try again at lunch.
