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.
