Hi.

I'm creating a debian package of kxmleditor. I know is not an "official" KDE 
application, but a third party one, but since it uses the same build system, 
I suppose this is not relevant.

I read from time to time, that using builddir !=srcdir, is a good idea. For 
example:
http://grammarian.homelinux.net/~mpyne/weblog/main/srcdir-ne-builddir-eq-good.html

I know this can be a matter of taste, but, is this supposed to work always?

I noticed that I had to --disable-final, because the build was failing. And 
after building the latest release (in which they say they updated the admin/ 
dir), it fails, because MOC is not finding the UIC-created header:

I'm looking at the Makefile.am, and all seems OK to me. What can be the 
problem? Broken Makefile.am, broken admin/ dir, or just that builddir!=srcdir 
is not always supported?

Thanks in advance.
