My guess is that Trolltech thought "people can just everything into a different prefix" - unfortunately that's not quite viable in ports and with hier(7) in mind. However, I haven't really gotten around to experiment on this issue. Right now I have ports for all parts of Qt4 together, they compile and they package cleanly. I was about to try and see if I can somehow install "4"-suffixed binaries of the tools and have qmake still work right when Trolltech released Qt 3.3.5, so Qt4 is on hold once again for a little while. -- ,_, | Michael Nottebrock | [EMAIL PROTECTED] (/^ ^\) | FreeBSD - The Power to Serve | http://www.freebsd.org \u/ | K Desktop Environment on FreeBSD | http://freebsd.kde.org
