ui.rc XML files

Hello, apologies if this is a stupid question, but is there any special build thing I need to do when I change the XML file that defines my KDE app's gui?

I have been changing my XML file and rebuilding and nothing is happening. I tried make clean and re-doing configure and automake but the menu resources in my app dont change. rc_DATA is set to the right filename in the makefile. What am I not doing?

Thanks

Tim

RE: ui.rc XML files

It turns out its using an rc file installed on the machine. It worked after I did make install.

Is there any way of getting it to use an rc file stored in the binary itself?

Thanks

The XUI GUI file has to be in an application specific subdirectory in one of the paths listed in
kde-config --path data
The first occurcence is used.

What would that be good for?
The purpose of the XML GUI file is to have actions and there positions configurable.
