Building kile-2.1~svn20090217 using prevu fails on Intrepid

[R (Chandra) Chandrasekhar]

Binary package hint: kile

I am running Kubuntu Intrepid with KDE 4.2 on an AMD 64 PC. Details are:

Description: Ubuntu 8.10
Release: 8.10

The existing package is:
kile:
  Installed: 1:2.0.1-1ubuntu1
  Candidate: 1:2.0.1-1ubuntu1
  Version table:
 *** 1:2.0.1-1ubuntu1 0
        500 http://ftp.iinet.net.au intrepid/universe Packages
        100 /var/lib/dpkg/status
and works OK but I want a more recent version.

I have tried to compile kile_2.1~svn20090217-0ubuntu4 using jaunty sources and prevu. It chugs along nicely but fails toward the end. The error message is:
---
...
dh_installudev -pkile-doc
dh_lintian -pkile-doc
dh_install -pkile-doc --sourcedir=debian/tmp
dh_install: kile-doc missing files (usr/share/doc/kde/HTML/*), aborting
make: *** [binary-install/kile-doc] Error 1
dpkg-buildpackage: failure: fakeroot debian/rules binary gave error exit status 2
...
---

Does anyone know what should be done to compile it successfully?

 I think it is almost there before falling over.

Thanks.

In Jaunty KDE documentation is installed to a different directory, so building Kile from Jaunty will fail in Intrepid.

As Jonathan says, not just possible. If you want to test the kde4 kile in intrepid, I have it backported in my PPA.

Thank you so much. I have downloaded and starting using the .deb you
lave so kindly packaged.
