No - I'm guessing the problem is that qmake generates wrong dependencies in=
=20
Makefiles when it configures Qt with a prefix that is different from the on=
e=20
of a previously installed Qt, with the dependencies being generated on file=
s=20
in the destination install prefix instead of the workdir. The most obvious=
=20
workaround: Deinstall (as in make deinstall) qt33, then (and only then)=20
rebuild and reinstall qt33 with the new PREFIX set. An update script could=
=20
take care of this rather easily as part of a post-update cleanup routine.

I can also try to reproduce this and, if I succeed, try to come up with som=
e=20
post-configure in-place Makefile editing, if my guess turns out to be=20
correct, but I am still busy with changing a number of qt4 ports to avoid=20
conflicting with qt33 after the X11BASE-move and flz@ already told me would=
=20
very much like to remain on schedule and do the merge on the upcoming=20
monday - I'm simply not sure I will be able to address this problem in time.

Another option would be doing nothing, writing up an UPDATING entry and=20
pointing disgruntled users to that, of course. ;)

Cheers,
