I have no idea what's going wrong, but I'm willing to make suggestions
anyway :)
The two lines of compiler output above show that the missing header file
is supposed to be generated on the fly by the qt/moc tools. That means
that the header file is not actually being generated, or maybe (but not
likely) being generated in the wrong directory.
I don't know much about the kde/qt build system, but it seems to involve
the automoc and cmake packages as well as qmake, which is part of qt-core.
For lack of anything better to suggest, I would try the good old shotgun
technique of recompiling every package that has to do with building kde
and qt packages, e.g. automoc, cmake, qt-core, and maybe more that I know
nothing about.
In particular, though, I always suspect that old, stale, leftover files
from previous versions of related packages like qt and kde may be fouling
things up. I pay close attention to the dates on files in /usr/include/*
and /usr/qt and /usr/kde and /usr/lib/qt and /usr/lib/kde to see if there
are just a few files with the same (old) date. Oh, and /usr/lib/pkgconfig
is worth a look also.
Meanwhile, hope for someone to give you a better answer.
