Konqueror embedded has been recently ported to kdelibs 3.5.1 (latest stable 
version). As of this time, it will not work with trunk kdelibs (what will 
become kdelibs 4.0).

So you need the latest Qt 3 libraries for your platform,
kdelibs 3.5.1
and a fresh checkout from the kdenox repository.

Work in in progress to adapt konqueror embedded to Qt-embedded/Qtopia 2.
If that is what you are interested in, you need to use the svn repository to 
check out the sources.
You also need a checkout of the kdelibs 3.5.1 in the same directory.
So, something like:

mkdir konq-embed-work
cd konq-embed-work

svn co https://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/trunk/kdenox
svn co https://anonsvn.kde.org/home/kde/tags/KDE/3.5.1

cd kdenox
make -f Makefile.cvs
./configure

should ideally set things up for compilation.

Find the latest Qt/Embeddev v3.x if you can.
Otherwise, you can try building against Qt2 if you need to integrate in a 
Qtopia environment. But the Qt2 port is being done now, and I don't know how 
well it works currently. If I understand correctly, it basically works, but 
there may still be problems.

That's good, since that isn't going to work for the time being.

Let us know if you need more informations.
