Description (last modified by erijo) (diff)

The code in plugins/qt-gui/share/Makefile.am target install-data-local refers to a variable KDEDIR when deciding about where and whether to install the .desktop file for the menu. Since the makefiles don't define this variable, I assume this is supposed to be an environment variable. My environment does not define this, so I don't get any menu entry.

Moreover, it doesn't seem wise to make the build process depend on whether an environment variable is set.

I suggest that you use the program kde-config to determine the installation path. Offhand, it seems that 

kde-config --expandvars --install xdgdata-apps

should give you the appropriate installation path.

This remains in 1.3.2RC3, but I will look into fixing it before 1.3.2 final.
