kdevelop 3.5.1 won't compile

I'm trying to compile kdevelop 3.5.1 on Slackware 12.0. When I try to make it I get an error. Here's the output.

Code:

This looks like the output the compiler gives when moc is not run on a .cpp file, but why isn't this being done?

Ok, I know what's going on. I recently installed qt-4.4.0 and hence installed another version of moc which requires that the header file QtCore/QObject, not qobject.h, be included in a header file which includes Q_OBJECT. The problem is that the moc generated from my qt-4.4.0 installation conflicts with the moc generated from my qt-3.3.0 installation. Both versions are included in my PATH variable. One located in /usr/bin, the other in /usr/lib/qt/bin.

Code:

bobby@Veronica:~$ echo $PATH
/usr/local/bin:/usr/bin:/bin:/usr/games:/usr/lib/java/bin:/usr/lib/java/jre/bin:/usr/lib/qt/bin:/usr/share/texmf/bin:.

How do I tell make which moc to use explicitly? Currently, the moc used defaults to 4.4.0 version.

You probably figured this out months ago, being that its now mid november, but you would need to use "./configure --with-qt-dir=/path/to/qt3" where the moc is in the bin directory in that path.
