Use wants KDE4 Therefore user must have Qt4 as it doesn't run on Qt3 So USE=3Dqt4 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 g= ui=20 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 c= lue=20 by four. This little scenario has just guaranteed that everyone building KD= E4=20 for the first time on a machine will run into a show-stopper. This warrants a knee-capping. =2D-=20 alan dot mckinnon at gmail dot com
