tqt-replace, Q_SLOTS et al, and non-cmake projects

So my attempted build of kdeaccessibility is failing. The failure is because of Q_SLOTS: nothing is replacing it with <slots> before processing by uic, so uic is never putting the slot into the .h file and compilation is failing. While tqt-replace fixes this up for projects using CMake, the corresponding call in am_edit was commented out in July 2010, in this commit: commit 4f9a36e2fcee4ecd7adbc3e53c8e6837712c2a35 Author: tpearson <tpearson@283d02a7-25f6-0310-bc7c-ecb5cbfe19da> Date: Mon Jul 26 02:04:25 2010 +0000 First attempt at getting TQT integrated... But even with that commented-out tqt-replace call uncommented, it still doesn't work. If we look at kaccessibility/kmouth/wordcompletion/Makefile, we see: all: docs-am all-am all-am: Makefile $(LIBRARIES) LIBRARIES = $(noinst_LIBRARIES) noinst_LIBRARIES = libwordcompletion.a libwordcompletion.a: $(libwordcompletion_a_OBJECTS) $(libwordcompletion_a_DEPENDENCIES) $(EXTRA_libwordcompletion_a_DEPENDENCIES) libwordcompletion_a_OBJECTS = $(libwordcompletion_a_nofinal_OBJECTS) libwordcompletion_a_OBJECTS = $(libwordcompletion_a_nofinal_OBJECTS) #libwordcompletion_a_OBJECTS = $(libwordcompletion_a_final_OBJECTS) libwordcompletion_a_final_OBJECTS = libwordcompletion_a.all_cpp.o and it is the libwordcompletion_a.all_cpp.o rule that has the tqt-replace call in it. Thus, this is only going to work if that line is uncommented *and* --enable-final is passed in. But the Wiki doesn't mention --enable-final, only --enable-closure! Unfortunately that *also* doesn't work, and it becomes obvious why Tim commented that line out -- it's applying to the .cpp files only, but to be effective tqt-replace must run over the .ui files, before uic gets to them. I don't see how this could possibly ever work. Have people actually managed to compile the non-cmake parts of Trinity in the last little while? If so, what configure flags did you use, and could you send me a copy of kaccessibility/kmouth/wordcompletion/Makefile.in and kaccessibility/kmouth/wordcompletion/wordcompletionui.{everything but .o and .lo} after a build? 'cos I am sore confused. Ditching this whole nightmare and going to cmake is ever such a good idea! :) -- NULL && (void)
