there is no configure. i hve to run qmake.
To build Link-n-Log you must have the QT development libraries
installed and you must have the environment variable QTDIR set to
point to your QT directory.  On my machine thats /usr/lib/qt3.

Once this environment variable has been set, to build execute:

qmake Link-n-Log.pro
make

this package is not in portage unfortunately.

I think it's odd that QTDIR isn't already defined for you.  Sounds like
something else is afoot.  (e.g. etc-update wiped out some of your config
files.)

Here's what it looks like on my system:

# grep -ir QTDIR /etc/*
/etc/csh.env:setenv QTDIR '/usr/qt/3'
/etc/env.d/50qtdir3:QTDIR=/usr/qt/3
/etc/profile.env:export QTDIR='/usr/qt/3'
# 

Note that profile.env is automatically updated by the data in env.d. 
Probably csh.env, too.  See man env-update.

Do you have the file /etc/env.d/50qtdir3 ??  Anything like it
in /etc/env.d ??  If so, what's its name and what's its contents?

Try this:

# QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3
# echo $QTDIR
/usr/lib/qt3
# qmake Link-n-Log.pro
...messages
# make
...messages
#

If that works out ok, then do this to make the QTDIR variable stick:

# echo "QTDIR=/usr/lib/qt3" >> /etc/env.d/50qtdir3
