[PyKDE] SIP-4.0rc1 minor build /install issues

[Jon Dyte]

Hi
I've been building SIP-4.0rc1 without Qt.

I get this failure on make install despite supplying -b and -d on the command line
eg python configure.py -b /sw/sip4 -d /sw/sip4/python2.3 -x

make[1]: Entering directory `/home/jon/sip-4.0rc1/siplib'
cp -f sip.so /sw/sip/python2.3/sip.so
cp -f sip.h /usr/include/python2.3/sip.h
cp: cannot create regular file `/usr/include/python2.3/sip.h': Permission denied
make[1]: *** [install] Error 1
make[1]: Leaving directory `/home/jon/sip-4.0rc1/siplib'
make: *** [install] Error 2


I fixed this by altering configure.py
at line 711
	elif opt == "-d":
            opt_sipmoddir = arg
	    opt_sipincdir = arg + "/include" 	

this puts the sip headers in an include directory below whereever the -d option was specified. 
I'm not sure if this is the best way to fix this or not, but certainly there will be cases where 
people cannot install into the python directory tree.

On Solaris I found that regardless of whether -x was specified the build still
barfed if QTDIR wasnt set. In the end I set QTDIR to /zzzzzz to make the error go away.

Also on Solaris I had to make the sipSetBool function in qtlib.cpp be declared
extern "C" else the module would complain about missing symbols when being imported. 
This might be due to my python build on Solaris or the version of CC (4.2) installed.
(That particular CC is also missing a bool type which I had to define to get the file
to compile as well). It looks like a name mangling issue anyhow.
