thanks, i will try it out, but i had this .la problem under linux.

small note: perhaps it is possible to have a reference to that file from the 
toc.html, so that more people can find the file ?

i hope this is the correct syntax...

this is the relevant part of dcop/SConscript:

# dcopserver program
obj = env.kdeinitobj(env)
obj.target   = 'dcopserver'
obj.source   = 'dcopserver.cpp dcopsignals.cpp'
obj.uselib   = 'QT QTCORE QT3SUPPORT KDE4'
obj.libpaths = '.'
obj.libs     = 'DCOP'

if env['WINDOWS']:
        if env['CC'] != 'cl':
                obj.ccflags  += ' -Dkdemain=main'

        obj.libpaths += ' ../win/'
        obj.libs     += ' kdewin32 ws2_32'

obj.execute()

there are only references to .la stuff in the commented out part of the file, 
that was copied from the original Makefile.am
