I tested my hypothesis regarding the missing repositories. I added the main TDE repo to APT sources, but the build script still does not install the dependencies automatically and errors out. Installing dependencies manually allows to proceed with the build, but the end result is ambiguous:
-------------

-------------
As you can see, build script reports both an error and a success. Searching the file system for missing tqglobal.h file yields:
/home/killy/shared/tde/main/dependencies/tqt/src/tools/tqglobal.h /home/killy/shared/tde/main/dependencies/tqt/include/tqglobal.h /home/killy/tde/1_git/tde/main/dependencies/tqt/src/tools/tqglobal.h /home/killy/tde/1_git/tde/main/dependencies/tqt/include/tqglobal.h /home/killy/tde/2_build/build/dependencies/tqt/src/tools/tqglobal.h /home/killy/tde/2_build/build/dependencies/tqt/include/tqglobal.h /usr/include/tqt/tqglobal.h
The said file resides in /usr/share/tqt/include, not /usr/share/tqt3/include (note the "3").
What now?
