    <title>Installation of Kdebindings</title>

    <para><emphasis>Note</emphasis>: If KDE is installed in
    <filename class='directory'>/opt/kde-&kde-version;</filename>, you'll need
    to make a modification before the build using the following command:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i -e 's@/usr@/opt/kde-&kde-version;@' \
    python/pykde/configure.py</userinput></screen>

    <para>Install <application>kdebindings</application> with:</para>

<screen><userinput>sed -i -e '/configure.*pyqt/s/-c//' \
    -e '/configure.*pykde/s/-c/-i/' python/Makefile.in
sed -i 's%echo "yes" | @PYTHON@ configure.py%&amp; -y qt-mt%' python/Makefile.in
DO_NOT_COMPILE="smoke" ./configure --prefix=&kde-dir; --disable-debug \
    --disable-dependency-tracking &amp;&amp;
make</userinput></screen>

    <para>This package does not come with a test suite.</para>

    <para>Now, as the <systemitem class="username">root</systemitem> user:</para>

<screen role="root"><userinput>make install</userinput></screen>

    <title>Command Explanations</title>

    <para><command>sed -i -e '/configure.*pyqt/s/-c//' -e
    '/configure.*pykde/s/-c/-i/' python/Makefile.in </command>: Remove a switch
    that causes concatenation of multiple files for compilation.  This fix
    reduces build time by a factor of five.</para>

    <para><command>sed -i 's%echo "yes" | @PYTHON@ configure.py%&amp; -y qt-mt%' python/Makefile.in</command>: 
    Specifies that the libqt-mt.so library should be used to build the pyqt bindings.
    <command>configure.py</command> will fail if it finds both libqt-mt.so and libqt.so.</para>

    <para><command>DO_NOT_COMPILE="smoke" ./configure</command>: Disables the building 
    of the smoke module of <application>kdebindings</application>, as the build is
    currently broken and no workaround has been found.</para>
