This works:
make install PREFIX=$HOME/proj/tuxpaint/live \
GNOME_PREFIX=$HOME/.gnome2/ \
KDE_PREFIX=$HOME/.kde KDE_ICON_PREFIX=$HOME/.kde/share/icons
After adding this line to Makefile (marked by +):
install-kde:
@echo
@echo "...Installing launcher icon into KDE..."
@if [ "x$(KDE_PREFIX)" != "x" ]; then \
+ install -d $(KDE_PREFIX)/Graphics/; \
cp src/tuxpaint.desktop $(KDE_PREFIX)/Graphics/; \
chmod 644 $(KDE_PREFIX)/Graphics/tuxpaint.desktop; \
fi
