The simple idea of "$(KEXI_INCLUDE)/kexidb" what reduces to "$(KDE_INCLUDES)/kexidb" is not guaranteed to work, as the substvar KDE_INCLUDES is empty if kde_includes (note the lower case) is equal to x_includes or qt_includes or to "/usr/include". Can I rely on kde_includes to be a stable interface that contains the path to the KDE headers even if they are in a "standard" location, so that "-I$(kde_includes)/kexidb" will work? If so, I will close the bug. Michael Karcher -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe". Trouble? Contact [EMAIL PROTECTED]
