Here are my build instructions.  YMMV.

Build Requirements:

    * Qt v3.3.8b
    * automake v1.9
    * autoconf v2.59
    * Should build and work now with a modern gcc (at least it works ok with gcc 4.4.4)

Note: Most distros no longer provide automake v1.9 nor autoconf v2.59 so you will need to build them from source,  
which can be found at ftp://ftp.gnu.org/gnu

Note: Make sure to configure autoconf with the --program-suffix=2.59 option.  When installed, you should see 
autoconf2.59, autoheader2.59, autom4te2.59, ...

The source:
[replace $SVNBASE with the path to the top of your KDE checkout]

The source is located in $SVNBASE/branches/kdepim/enterprise.You need to checkout the following subdirs:
kdelibs, kdepim

Building:

First, make sure the build uses automake1.9 and autoconf2.59

export AUTOMAKE=automake-1.9
export AUTOCONF=autoconf2.59

Decide where you want to install, for example /data/kde/e35, and set the KDEDIR environment variable accordingly:

% export KDEDIR=/data/kde/e35

Now, you should be ready to start building.

First, kdelibs

% cd $SVNBASE/branches/kdepim/enterprise/kdelibs
% make -f Makefile.cvs
% mkdir build-gcc
% cd build-gcc
% ../configure --prefix=$KDEDIR --enable-debug=full --without-arts --without-cups
% make && make install

Next, kdepim

% cd $SVNBASE/branches/kdepim/enterprise/kdepim% make -f Makefile.cvs
% mkdir build-gcc
% cd build-gcc
% ../configure --prefix=$KDEDIR --enable-debug=full --without-arts --with-sasl
% make && make install
