However, pkgconfig simply extracts the needed info from existing QtCore.pc and QtGui.pc files. So, you could try to find those files and read them by yourself (they are text files). Look for lines starting with "Cflags:" and "Libs:": this is what you should put in QT4_FRONTEND_CFLAGS and QT4_FRONTEND_LIBS, respectively. -- Enrico
