Several bug reports focus on TDE not displaying device icons on the desktop or the standard popup dialog when a new device is detected. Refer to bug reports 372, 385, 634 for starters.
These are serious usability bugs.
Today I started investigating. I discovered that HAL support is not enabled in the default cmake options. I don't know why that is the default.
I enabled HAL support with -DWITH-HAL=ON. The build failed for failing to find some header files. I submitted a small patch in bug report 755.
I don't think my patch is the best approach. Instead I think the following environment variables need to be defined:
$DBUS_TQT_LIBRARY_DIRS $HAL_INCLUDE_DIRS $HAL_LIBRARIES
Although referenced, I don't think these variables are defined anywhere in the cmake files. How do I patch the cmake files to know those locations?
I could hard-code those locations in my kdebase build script or build environment, but what is the proper approach?

Although I haven't looked at the particulars here, my first reaction is to use pkg-config to determine the appropriate values. I can't go into more detail right now as I'm relatively new to cmake myself.
