I'm not able to compile it (on Debian Squeeze). After installing many -dev pacakges, and patching configure script (replacing "kde3/" with "trinity/"), configure can run successfully ("./configure --with-extra-includes=/usr/include/tqt").

But build fails at link time with many undefined references such as:
ftp.cc:(.text+0x166): undefined reference to `KSocks::self()'
or
ftp.cc:(.text+0x3b9): undefined reference to `QString::shared_null'

Adding -lqt-mt to LDFLAGS makes many of the errors disappear. Looks like there are more libs missing... The command is:
/bin/bash ../libtool --silent --tag=CXX --mode=link g++  -Wnon-virtual-dtor -Wno-long-long -Wundef -ansi -D_XOPEN_SOURCE=500 -D_BSD_SOURCE -Wcast-align -Wconversion -Wchar-subscripts -Wall -W -Wpointer-arith -Wno-non-virtual-dtor -O2 -Wformat-security -Wmissing-format-attribute -fno-exceptions -fno-check-new -fno-common   -lqt-mt -o kio_ftps.la -rpath /opt/trinity/lib -L/opt/trinity/lib -L/usr/share/qt3/lib -L/usr/lib    -module -avoid-version -module -no-undefined -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined -R /opt/trinity/lib -R /opt/trinity/lib -R /usr/share/qt3/lib -R /usr/lib  ftp.lo -lkio


(Weird: changing "kde3/" to "trinity" in acinclude.m4 and running autoconf produces faulty configure script that produces Makefiles which do not build kio_ftps.so.)

I've finally managed to compile this (on Debian Squeeze):

0. install kdenetwork-trinity-dev
1. get kio-ftps-0.1a.tar.gz and kio-ftps-gcc.patch
2. tar xf kio-ftps-0.1a.tar.gz && cd kio-ftps-0.1/ && patch -p1 <../kio-ftps-gcc.patch
3. sed -e s,/kde3,/trinity,g acinclude.m4 | sed -e s,kde3/,trinity/,g >acinclude.m4.new && mv acinclude.m4.new acinclude.m4
4. autoreconf && ./configure --with-extra-includes=/usr/include/tqt
5. make
6. cd kio_ftps/.libs/ && g++ -shared  -L/opt/trinity/lib -L/usr/share/qt3/lib -L/usr/lib    -module -avoid-version -module -Wl,--no-undefined -Wl,--allow-shlib-undefined   -o kio_ftps.so ftp.o -lkio -lqt-mt -lkdecore
7. cd ../.. && sudo make install (or wharever)

And it works! So please include this in next Trinity release. (I don't know how to fix the build scripts.)

kio-ftps : fix FTBFS because wrong LDFLAGS

Grab original archive: http://kasablanca.berlios.de/kio-ftps/
File name: kio-ftps-0.1a.tar.gz

Untar, apply attached patches, in order.

Run QT3/TQT3 conversion script.
Run KDE3/TDE conversion script.

FTBFS in kio_ftps/ftp.cc line 86
  "namespace KIO {"
should be replaced by
  "namespace TDEIO {"

Fix the line, then compile: it builds correctly.
The KDE3/TDE conversion script should be updated to handle this case.

BTW, the package should be named "tdeio-ftps", not "kio-ftps".

New GIT repository is available at

Build OK from GIT.

cgit, the master GIT repository, and the autobuild system have now been updated.  Marking NEEDINFO pending results of autobuilds on build farm.

Thank you all for your efforts in preparing the package.
The package seems to be ready.
