since you're working with kdevelop 4, it's better if you use the 
kdelibs4_snapshot from branches work. so instead of checking out 
"trunk/KDE/kdelibs" check out "branches/work/kdelibs4_snapshot" instead. 
kdelibs especially is in a huge state of flux due to akademy and the 
implementation of a bunch of great changes to things like the build system, 
etc.

for a debug build, i wouldn't use this, and it probably makes your compile 
longer

those --enable flags are autodeteted and not needed

qt-copy from trunk is qt4 now, so you can still use qt-copy from trunk for KDE 
4.

hope this helps.
