Debian Build issues with twinkle

[Michel de Boer]

Hi Mantia,

Yes, currently it is only the systray icon that needs kdelibs. And yes it
should still be possible to build Twinkle without kdelibs, but you will loos
the systray icon. The configure script checks for the presence of the
'kde-config' command. If your system does not have that command, then
a pure Qtapplication will be build without the kde stuff.

However, I have received complaints that without kde the following error
is given:

 > configure:16039: error: conditional "include_x11" was never defined.
>  >Usually this means the macro was only invoked conditionally.

I don't know why this error is given, but you can get rid of it by
removing the file acinclude.m4

Do you have any idea how I can create a systray icon for a Qt app
without using kdelibs?

I am currently working on an interface to KAddressbook for that I
definitely need kdelibs. But I want to make this interface optional,
so that should not be a problem. I only have to solve the error
with acinclude.m4

Best regards,
Michel
