I'm trying to compile it against sip-x11-gpl-snapshot-20030322 and 
PyQt-x11-gpl-snapshot-20030321 on a Debian testing machine with Python 2.2.2, 
official KDE3.1.1 packages and Qt packages version 3.1.2-0woody1. I manually 
applied the patches to PyQt required to compile it on Debian (the style 
stuff). PyQt works fine.

I configured PyKDE with the following command:

$ python2.2 build.py -c -d /usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages -e 
/usr/local/include/python2.2 -lqt-mt -s 
/usr/local/lib/python2.2/site-packages -k /usr -v 
~/downloads/python/pyqt/PyQt-x11-gpl-snapshot-20030321/sip

When I run make, I get the following error:

g++ -c -pipe -w -O2 -D_REENTRANT -fPIC  -DSIP_MAKE_MODULE_DLL -DQT_NO_DEBUG 
-DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT -fno-exceptions -I/usr/share/qt3/mkspecs/default -I.

sip/kprocctrl.sip:75: qlist.h: No such file or directory

My system doesn't have qlist.h but I found it in an old copy of kde3.1-rc6 
source and it just includes qptrlist.h. I tried editing sip/kprocctrl.sip to 
change the include to use qptrlist.h because it has a define to substitute 
QPtrList for QList and that fixed the kprocctrl problem but the compile fails 
later on another file that also uses qlist.h:

In file included from kdeuihuge.cpp:4581:
sipkdeuiProxykdeui.h:39: qlist.h: No such file or directory

So I checked the kmainwindow.h that's installed in /usr/include/kde and the 
memberList member which is being mapped in the sip file is actually declared 
as:

static QPtrList<KMainWindow>* memberList;

But the mapped type in the sip file, MainWindowList, is using QList.

I'm changing various references to qlist.h to use qptrlist.h and retrying the 
compile. I'll let you know which ones I had to change to make it compile.

Ciao,
