I detect a spectacular dose of stupidity in these build settings.
Use wants KDE4
Therefore user must have Qt4 as it doesn't run on Qt3
So USE=qt4 is a must
Qt4 is built with cmake
Up till this point everything is cool and makes sense.
But now cmake needs Qt4.
WTF????????
How on this earth can anyone reasonably expect a BUILD SYSTEM to have the gui
libs already installed that the build system is designed to build????
I mean, come on, lets get real here. Someone needs a good thumping with a clue
by four. This little scenario has just guaranteed that everyone building KDE4
for the first time on a machine will run into a show-stopper.
This warrants a knee-capping.
