I'm trying to build some trinity components manually, since no
binaries, nor build scrips (PKGBUILD) are available for my distro
(arch), and I wonder, why when I try to compile something using
autotools (because obviously it hasn't been ported to cmake yet) it
keeps me asking for Qt >=4.3 and <5.0.
Besides I looked a little at files present in the admin dir and I
found that some of the paths for libraries are hardcoded and point to
(example) /usr/share/kde3 or /usr/share/qt.
Another thing, shouldn't automake files be removed form components
that have been ported to CMake. Since autotools-based compiling aren't
really supported for those...
And I'd be grateful of someone could write a little about how to port
trinity components to cmake. I'd like to help, I get the main idea,
but I don't know where too look for dependencies and stuff like that.

I'm trying to build some trinity
components manually, since no
binaries, nor build scrips (PKGBUILD) are available for my
distro
(arch),
There are some archers hanging out here. I would be surprised if there are no build
scripts. They might be cleverly hidden, but I'm sure they exist.
and I wonder, why when I try to compile something
using
autotools (because obviously it hasn't been ported to cmake
yet) it
keeps me asking for Qt >=4.3 and <5.0.
I have the same problem on Slackware. I submitted bug report 582
(http://bugs.pearsoncomputing.net/show_bug.cgi?id=582) against the problem. My workaround
was to remove the Qt4 package from my build system.

Some examples?

That is a great idea. Serghei is the master cmake planner here. Whether he has time for
writing is up to him. Some others here have helped, so maybe somebody can start a wiki
page about the topic.

The best thing is: I'm trying to compile it on a fresh and clean
installation. I don't have Qt4 installed. And I compiled tqt against
qt3. Yet, autotools detect TQt4 and searches for QT4...
I don't remember ATM exactly where I've seen them, but I think it was
in acinclude.m4.in file. Besides there are a awful lot references to
KDE3 and it's latest version (3.5.10) in variables, version numbers
and so on. Yet those files are too many, and to big to go through them
and change everything. And it can't be really done by script since, it
could broke something.
I'd like to see it happen now, or for the next release. Faster
cleaning begins, the better.

Simply not going to happen. What I want to see for the next release are
bug fixes for user-visible problems that actually affect daily operations.
Build system problems can usually be worked around (once) by the
distribution maintainer and are therefore lower priority simply by virtue
of the lesser number of people affected.
