The problem is that there exist a package x11-libs/qt, which already builds fine on MacOS (with installed X libs), and which is generic, and a package (apple-libs?)/qt, which uses Qt-Mac and native Aqua. As long as no Aqua exists on Linux, this is Apple only. Regards Dirk -- [email protected] mailing list
