arts build - uic-tqt ... not found (I've packaged and installed tqtinterface, but uic-tqt got missed?)

All,
I have built and installed tqtinterface on Arch and I'm attempting to build
arts and I receive the following error:
<snip>
checking for Qt... libraries /opt/qt/lib, headers /opt/qt/include using -mt
checking for moc... /opt/qt/bin/moc
checking for uic-tqt... not found
configure: WARNING: No Qt ui compiler (uic) found!
Please check whether you installed Qt correctly.
You need to have a running uic binary.
configure tried to run and the test didn't
succeed. If configure shouldn't have tried this one, set
the environment variable UIC to the right one before running
configure.
Looking at my tqtinterface build directory, I find:
22:27 archangel:~/arch/pkg/trinity-notes/tqtest> find . -name "uic*"
./src/qtinterface/.svn/text-base/uic-tqt.svn-base
./src/qtinterface/.svn/prop-base/uic-tqt.svn-base
./src/qtinterface/uic-tqt
so uic-tqt got built, but apparently was not included by 'make install' into the
Arch package I created.
The tqtinterface package installed as follows:
22:15 archangel:~/arch/pkg/trinity-notes/arts> pacman -Ql tqtinterface
tqtinterface /usr/
tqtinterface /usr/bin/
tqtinterface /usr/bin/convert_qt_tqt1
tqtinterface /usr/bin/convert_qt_tqt2
tqtinterface /usr/bin/convert_qt_tqt3
tqtinterface /usr/bin/dcopidl-tqt

tqtinterface /usr/include/
tqtinterface /usr/include/tqt/
tqtinterface /usr/include/tqt/Qt/
tqtinterface /usr/include/tqt/Qt/q3cstring.h
<snip>
but no uic-tqt interface. So it looks like this is a file I will need to
manually tell the Arch makepkg app to include in the package. Easy enough to do,
but:
"Where is 'uic-tqt' supposed to get installed to?" Which directory
does it go in?

Did you patch your qt-3.3.8?
When i first compiled i create a symlink called uic-tqt pointing at uic.
This got me passed the error. Not sure if it is the right way to go about it
... but i am writing this from trinity running on Slack current.

Thanks Jay,
Yes, Qt3 is patched for 3.3.8c. Here is the relevant tqtinterface build output:
Checked out revision 1217590.
==> SVN checkout done or server timeout
==> Starting cmake...
<snip>
-- checking for 'Qt'
-- Performing Test HAVE_PATCHED_QT3
-- Performing Test HAVE_PATCHED_QT3 - Success
-- found patched Qt, version 3.3.8
<snip>
-- Configuring done
Looking closer at uic-tqt, it's just a simple bash script that backup up the
files passed as arguments, runs tqt-replace on the file, the puts the backup
back in place and deletes the backup copy.
Where should this go? I could soft link it to anywhere in the path and I guess
it would work, but since I'm trying to create and 'Arch Linux Package' I need
to
get it in the right place. Any thoughts?

but for some strange reason, uic-tqt is not installed with 'make install'. All
other files specified in 'install-exec-local:' get installed just fine, but not
uic-tqt.
I don't know when the uic-tqt script is created during the build processes, but
is it possible it gets created too late to be seen by the 'make install'?
As a workaround for the arch package, I have just manually included it to be
installed in /usr/bin (which from the Makefile.am looks correct)
After the workaround and install of the new tqtinterface package, arts
configures fine:
<snip>
config.status: executing depfiles commands
config.status: executing libtool commands
configure: WARNING: unrecognized options: --with-xinerama
Good - your configure finished. Start make now
If Jay is seeing this behavior with uic-tqt on Slackware and I'm seeing it on
Arch, maybe the really smart devs can take a peek and see if a reason for this
behavior can be seen.
Also, let me know if this is something you want me to open a bug on. I'm happy
to do it, but I don't want to clutter the bug tracker if this isn't something
that needs to be there. Thanks.

SOLVED = figured out, but not fixed in the code
The problem is with the tqtinterface/qtinterface/Makefile.am itself which
causes uic-tqt to be missed by many packaging systems. (at least Arch Linux
[makepkg], and Slack [whatever it uses]). The reason on Arch is that 'makepkg'
does a "semi" out of source build by creating a 'src' and 'pkg'
directory in
the current module directory. It builds everything in 'src' and then create
packages in the fakeroot 'pkg' directory with 'make $DESTDIR=pkg/ install'
The
final Arch Linux package is created from the contents of 'pkg' and then
'src'
and 'pkg' dirs can be removed leaving the original svn source unchanged.
The tqtinterface/qtinterface/Makefile.am specifies:
install-exec-local:
test -z "$(bindir)" || $(MKDIR_P) "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)"
cp -Rp "$(srcdir)/tqt-replace" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/"
cp -Rp "$(srcdir)/tqt-replace-stream" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/"
cp -Rp "$(srcdir)/moc-tqt" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/"
cp -Rp "$(srcdir)/uic-tqt" "$(DESTDIR)$(bindir)/"
<snip>
In the list, everything except 'uic-tqt' is built in the 'src' directory
and
gets copied to the 'pkg' directory for packaging. But the correct path for
uic-tqt is actually '../qtinterface/uic-tqt' not '$(srcdir)/uic-tqt' since
it
is provided as part of the source and not built during the compile. So it
never gets packaged by default. I suspect something similar happens on Slackware.
I don't know if this can be fixed in the code, a check put in place, or if it
is just something that must be dealt with manually. For Arch, you just have to
add a manual copy to the PKGBUILD script:
package() {
msg "Packaging - $pkgname-$pkgver"
cd ${srcdir}
mkdir -p ${pkgdir}/usr/bin
cp -Rp ../qtinterface/uic-tqt ${pkgdir}/usr/bin
make DESTDIR="$pkgdir/" install
}
