I'll have a look at it.
Since I was away the last three weeks, what's the current state of kdelibs ? 
What compiles and with which tools is it compiled currently ?

Right now I'm undecided what to do with my cmake stuff. On my own box I have a 
almost the complete kdelibs 3.x configured, compiled, linked and installed 
using cmake, so the hardest parts are done.

It wasn't easy to do since I didn't know much about the KDE build system. So, 
I could 
a) finish building kdelibs 3.x using cmake
b) cancel this and try to build kdelibs 4 using cmake, for this I'd like to 
commit it to svn
c) forget cmake for kde svn modules and just create a cmake 
package/module/addon for building kde applications/plugins/ioslaves etc.

Is there any interest in an alternative build system additionally to scons ?

Bye
Alex
