building of KDE3.2
process fairly painless just watch for ./configure and satisfy it's dependecies

export CC=gcc-3.3
export CXX=g++-3.3
export KDEDIR=/usr/local/kde
./configure --prefix=/usr/local/kde
make install

the order isn't all that important once the basics are build (as showed above)
arts
kdelibs
kdebase
kdeutils
kdenetwork
kdeadmin
kdemultimedia
kdegraphics
kdesdk
kdedevelop
..and so on
