QT Install problems

[Brian Witowski]

I haven't seen all of this thread but thought I'd share some of the issues
I've had with installing QT 3.0.3.

Make ./configure went off without a hitch, as did Make.  But when I
attempted Make Install I got No rule to make target ../linux-g++/qmake.conf
needed by Makefile'

After looking in linux-g++, there was NO qmake.conf.

So I started from scratch.  But first I made a copy of qmake.conf.  Then
tried it again.  After doing a Make then Make Install I checked for
../linux-g++ and again the qmake.conf was gone.  So I put the copy back
there and tried it again.  Same thing, except the error message was the only
text in the qmake.conf file!  On a whim I did a make clean before doing a
make (maybe not a good idea.  I was willing to try anything).  Then I put
fresh copies of qmake.conf and qplatformdefs.h in ../linux-g++/ and then did
a make install once again.  This time it finished without error, although it
took hours, literally.  However when I attempted to install Kmyfirewall, it
errored out saying that Qt >= 3.0.2 ( library qt-mt) not found.

Thats where it is now.
