Cmake issues: Building kdebase with HAL support

Several bug reports focus on TDE not displaying device icons on the desktop or the standard popup dialog when a new device is detected. Refer to bug reports 372, 385, 634 for starters. These are serious usability bugs. Today I started investigating. I discovered that HAL support is not enabled in the default cmake options. I don't know why that is the default. I enabled HAL support with -DWITH-HAL=ON. The build failed for failing to find some header files. I submitted a small patch in bug report 755. I don't think my patch is the best approach. Instead I think the following environment variables need to be defined: $DBUS_TQT_LIBRARY_DIRS $HAL_INCLUDE_DIRS $HAL_LIBRARIES Although referenced, I don't think these variables are defined anywhere in the cmake files. How do I patch the cmake files to know those locations? I could hard-code those locations in my kdebase build script or build environment, but what is the proper approach? Darrell
