Hi Russel,

thank you for your tarball. Today I found some time, so I looked more closely 
to the application:

1) Created GIT repository for this application, so I can save the individual 
steps as a separate commits.
2) Cleaned the files generated during build, including the original 'admin' 
folder and performed the initial commit.
2) Added common submodules 'admin' and 'cmake' from TDE.
3) Tested building in TDE 3.5.13.x and solved problems that occur.
4) Performed TQt conversion and TDE conversion.
6) Tested building in TDE R14.0.3 - successfully.

In attached tarball you can find the resulting source code, including .git 
repository. Moreover, is also added 'debian' folder which can be useful for 
you to built 'deb' package. I hope that the result will be good for you.

If you encounter any other problems, do not hesitate to let us know :)

Cheers
