KDE headers not found?

[kuratkull]

When i try to .configure a program it does everything fine until:

creating libtool
checking whether NLS is requested... yes
checking for msgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
checking for gmsgfmt... /usr/bin/msgfmt
checking for xgettext... /usr/bin/xgettext
checking for KDE... configure: error:
in the prefix, you've chosen, are no kde headers installed. This will fail.
So, check this please and use another prefix!


Then i entered the command:
configure --includedir=PREFIX/include --prefix=/opt/kde3

Because my kde folder is /opt/kde3 , but it doesn't work...it still shows the same error. And i know i have installed all the necessary things.
I even tried --includedir=/opt/kde3/include

Is the command i entered even correct?

What should i do? I'm totally clueless...
PS! I use SuSE 9.1 Pro

Thx in advance :)

you will need to install the *-devel packages for kde in rpm format. This is an issue in mandrake, it seems that to build things from source -devel packages need to be installed on rpm systems.

Probably the same on suse ...

Post the output of ./configure --help

You probably need something like
--kde-include-dir=/opt/kde3/include

The author answered that the project has been stalled for 4 years and was only moving at the at the rate of submitted patches

The author:
The released kcheat only runs on KDE1. The CVSed kcheat runs on KDE3 last I checked (and if you roll it back a bit, also KDE2), but might need tweaks for newer gcc releases and such. If you fix any compile bugs, please send me a patch so I can add it to CVS.

Ohhhyea...like i would understand anything about source code editing :P

What CVS works on KDE3? Where to get it and how to get it to work?

And he also wrote this:
./configure --help will show the KDE-specific options like specifying the location of KDE includes. --prefix=... is what tells it the default install directory. It might have bitrotted; KDE projects tend to do that quickly. If you fix any compile errors, send me a patch so I can include it.

What's the CVS version?


Would you be so kind and answer here:
http://www.justlinux.com/forum/showthread.php?s=&threadid=130138
cause when i have to check two topics that evolved to a ONE problem...it's better when the answers are in one topic :)

Had this same issue with SuSE 9.1 Pro.

Install kdelibs3-devel, if using KDE 3.2.3 the other dependencies are all available at rpmseek.com.

then

export QTDIR=/usr/lib/gt3
./configure
make
make install

:)
