I have 3 x86_64 boxes and 4 i686 boxes I'm building on. Some with kde4, some
without. With kde4/Qt4 installed, the kdebase build dies as above.

On the boxes without QT4, the build progresses to 30% before the iccconfig.cpp
build error.

I'm rather stumped.I would like to find a way to tell the kdebase build to NOT
EVER-EVER look in /usr/include/QtCore. But so far I haven't found a way to do
it. It is clear from the error above, that the qt4 qfile.h is causing the
problem. The correct qfile.h is in /opt/qt/include, but for some reason isn't
being used:

22:24 providence:~/arch/pkg/tbld/kdebase/kicker/libkicker> pmq -o
/usr/include/QtCore/qfile.h
/usr/include/QtCore/qfile.h is owned by qt 4.7.1-3
22:24 providence:~/arch/pkg/tbld/kdebase/kicker/libkicker> find /opt/qt/ -name
qfile.h
/opt/qt/include/qfile.h

I try limiting that problem with PATH and kde environment tweaks:

build() {
  msg "Setting PATH, CMAKE and Trinity Environment variables"
  [[ ${PATH%%:*} =~ /opt/qt/bin ]] || export PATH=/opt/qt/bin:$PATH
  export CMAKE_PREFIX_PATH=/opt/qt
  export CMAKE_INCLUDE_PATH=/opt/qt/include:/opt/qt/include/tqt
  export KDEDIR=/opt/trinity
  export KDEDIRS=/opt/trinity:/usr
  export
PKG_CONFIG_PATH=:/opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/trinity/lib/pkgconfig:/opt/qt/lib/pkgconfig
  export XDG_CONFIG_DIRS=/etc/xdg:/opt/trinity/etc/xdg:/opt/trinity/etc/xdg
  export
XDG_DATA_DIRS=/usr/share/:/usr/local/share/:/opt/trinity/share:/opt/trinity/share

  trinity_prefix="/opt/trinity"

  cd ${srcdir}
  cmake ../ \
    -DCMAKE_INSTALL_PREFIX=${trinity_prefix} \
    -DWITH_QT3=ON \
    -DBUILD_ALL=ON \
    -DCMAKE_SKIP_RPATH=ON
  make  || return 1
}

But even with these variables, the build grabs QtCore regardless. Are there any
other cmake variables that I can use that would make sense in this situation?

Any help would be greatly appreciated. Also, let me know if there and statements
or variables set above that I need to remove. Thanks.
