1) QTDIR is not only mentioned, it's required. It's in Qt's INSTALL and in qt-copy's README.
qt-copy 
 
2) KDEDIR specifies KDE's dir. Your application doesn't have to install in KDE's prefix. You're 
allowed to install it anywhere. KDE doesn't care. But if you do, you have to add its prefix to 
KDEDIRS (note the plural). 
 
3) --prefix is never assumed for any application. It's always /usr/local if you don't specify it. 
For all applications. IMO, it's better to leave it that way than to make KDE applications 
behave differently. 
 
4) kde-config IS called from ./configure. It just doesn't set --prefix because no other 
program does (see 3). Besides, I don't even know if autoconf provides a method of setting 
the prefix variable... 
 
I'm moving this again to WONTFIX. If anyone wants to fix it, please provide a patch.
