Hello Walter,
Thanks for the swift reply...

After my patch, the configure "worked" (i.e. didn't drop out saying that
it couldn't find kwm).

I used:
./configure --prefix=/opt/kde --exec-prefix=/opt/kde/Sol2

(/opt/kde being a symlink to my actual kde install tree, which I was
hoping to build on a couple of different platforms, hence splitting with
exec-prefix; I'm using egcs 2.91.66 on Solaris 2.6, with the rest of the
GNU toolchain at near-latest-versions.)

I tried this(Options/Kdevelop Setup/Documentation, changing
KDE-Libraries-Doc), but kdevelop said that it doesn't lead to the
correct path. 

Of course, if this was closed source, I'd be stuck now ;-)
Looking in kdevelop/kdevelop/ckdevsetupdlg.cpp, line 683, it's looking
for kdecore/index.html, which hasn't been installed under
/opt/kde/share/doc/HTML/en/kdelibs (the directory exists after a make
install, with nothing in it - it seems that the Makefile in
kdelibdocs_kdoc2 isn't doing the copy.)

Again, directories have been created, with no contents - except for
C/CONTRIB/SNIP, which has some source, and C/CONTRIB/YABL.

Kind regards,

Matt.
