Slavek, All,

  Working with tqscintilla/tqscintilla-plugin, I was quite pleased and surprise
to find tqscintilla builds just fine (first time). However, tqscintilla-plugin
build fails due to the autogenerated Makefile including -lqt for libqt in the
g++ command. The major part of the build is done in:

tqscintilla/qt

  Building with:

  cd tqscintilla/qt
  qmake qscintilla.pro
  make

works fine. But the Makefile "install" is broken. While the make produces the
libraries it FAILS to install anything:

1577860 Jan 23 15:38 libqscintilla.so.7.0.1
libqscintilla.so -> libqscintilla.so.7.0.1
libqscintilla.so.7 -> libqscintilla.so.7.0.1
libqscintilla.so.7.0 -> libqscintilla.so.7.0.1


The plugin is built in tqscintilla/designer with:

  cd tqscintilla/designer
  qmake designer.pro
  make

fails with the error:

g++ -luuid  -Wl,-rpath,../ -Wl,-rpath,../qt  -Wl,-rpath,/opt/tqt3/lib -shared -o
libqscintillaplugin.so qscintillaplugin.o   -L../ -L../qt -L/opt/tqt3/lib -luuid
-lqscintilla -lqt
/usr/bin/ld: cannot find -lqt
collect2: error: ld returned 1 exit status

  Looking at the string, it looks for -lqt (that doesn't exists - and is NOT
needed) Changing into the build directory and issuing the command without the
-lqt completes fine:

g++ -luuid  -Wl,-rpath,../ -Wl,-rpath,../qt  -Wl,-rpath,/opt/tqt3/lib -shared -o
libqscintillaplugin.so qscintillaplugin.o   -L../ -L../qt -L/opt/tqt3/lib -luuid
-lqscintilla -lqt

$ ls -al
-rwxr-xr-x 1 nobody root   22174 Jan 23 14:41 libqscintillaplugin.so

  The problem is that qmake autogenerates the Makefile and the Makefile
automatically includes the -lqt for some reason.

  Checking both the tqscintilla/qt/qscintilla.pro and the resulting
tqscintilla/qt/Makefile there is no -lqt added to the g++ command for that app.
Why is it being added to the tqscintilla/designer/Makefile? More importantly -
how do we fix it?

  To get around the install & lib issues, I simply modified my build/package
script to get around the errors:

build() {

  cd ${srcdir}

  # Source the QT and TDE profile
  [ "$QTDIR" = "" ] && . /etc/profile.d/tqt3.sh       # or tqt3.sh

  ## build tqscintilla

  cd ${srcdir}/${pkgname#*-}/qt

}

  install -m 644 -D libqscintillaplugin.so "${pkgdir}${QTDIR}/lib"

}

  I need to confirm that my package contents are the total contents for the
package. Since you build in the ../qt directory and the ../src is not touched
(except by the magic Makefiles) I'm skeptical. My package consists of:
