I'm not sure about which version you're talking about, the old qt1.4x
based or bleeding edge 2.0, but:
The current CVS version does not generate koffice.cc/h from koffice.idl.
In fact it's impossible to generate them automatically because of a bug in
mico's idl compiler which creates a buggy koffice.cc. As a workaround both
files are already in CVS, patched manually, so noone should need to
generate them in any way.

Ciao,
