The problem is in the make files and is a remnant from KDE. In KDE I long ago noticed this problem with several apps: amarok, kipi-plugins, k3b, kpowersave, and kmplayer.
I created a diff patch to the make files. I don't pretend to understand automake, but after I apply the patch all is well until the build script runs make to build the files. Something in the make process overwrites the patches or restores the original make files. I never have seen that before.
Any ideas why the patch won't hold when running make?
At this point the only solution I have is to apply a post-make patch.
If anybody is interested I'm attaching the patch to the make files.
I'll watch other apps as I create Trinity build scripts.
Definitely a paper cut bug.
