Installation of Kdebindings

Note: If KDE is installed in /opt/kde-3.5.10, you'll need to make a modification before the build using the following command: 

sed -i -e 's@/usr@/opt/kde-3.5.10@' \
    python/pykde/configure.py

Install kdebindings with: 

sed -i 's%echo "yes" | @PYTHON@ configure.py%& -y qt-mt%' \
    python/Makefile.in &&

patch -Np1 -i $DIR/kdebindings-3.5.10-ruby-1.patch   &&
patch -Np1 -i $DIR/kdebindings-3.5.10-python-1.patch &&

./configure --prefix=$KDE_PREFIX --disable-debug \
    --disable-dependency-tracking &&
make

This package does not come with a test suite.

Now, as the root user: 

make install

Command Explanations

sed -i ... python/Makefile.in: Specifies that the libqt-mt.so library should be used to build the pyqt bindings. configure.py will fail if it finds both libqt-mt.so and libqt.so.
