qt verification

[Yendor]

Wonder if we could add a check to the qt verification pass to see whether it was built with gcc v3.x and print a message to that effect. Just an idea, recurring support issue. Maybe I will look at it if no one else cares to. autoconf/automake stuff is pretty new to me so my solutions may be a little clunky.

Just as a matter of interest (possibly you can use it?) Sins has a -with-Qt-validation string for configure - gives some more info on what QT is being used and where it's getting the libraries from (it's how I solved my QT issue)

[casey]

you can set QTDIR, or use the following options to configure

--with-qt-dir=DIR
--with-qt-includes=DIR
--with-qt-libraries=DIR
--with-qt-validation

(pulled from ./configure --help)

as for yendors question, someone would have to write a check, attempting to compile a small QT example program with g++ 3, if the link passes, QT is good, it it fails it is BAD. Not really a hard thing to do, and i may take some time today to write something like that.
