To quote http://techbase.kde.org/Getting_Started/Build/Qt#makeobj :
==========
Makeobj is a shell script to assist make.
It is a part of the kdesdk module and, while optional, is strongly recommended
when building KDE modules. If you have kdesdk installed on your system then
this version should be sufficient, but r1215872 is recommended when working
with Git.
To install it download via WebSVN and install into your path somewhere,
preferably ~/.bin. Once you have built kdesdk from source you should then
remove this copy.
==========
You can build without it, you just need to change between your source and
build directories manually, but the easiest option is just to save the script
from svn into you ~/.bin folder.
