From the wiki: :)

NOTE: Until the cmake migration is fully completed, tqtinterface should be built to install with a $PREFIX of /usr rather than /opt/trinity.

Regarding the Qt4 messages, from the wiki:

NOTE: To avoid build problems with automake when Qt4 is installed set the following configure options:

    --with-qt-dir=${QTDIR}
    --with-qt-includes=${QTDIR}/include
    --with-qt-libraries=${QTDIR}/lib

NOTE: The only package built with cmake that requires Qt configure options is tqtinterface: -DQT_VERSION=3.

The cmake packages find Qt3 just fine, but tqtinterface needs the -DQT_VERSION=3 option to avoid trying to build against Qt4.

The --with-qt-includes option might get complicated because right now there is a tqtinterface build presumption that (t)qt3 installs the header files to ${QTDIR}/include/(t)qt3. I'm trying to debug this so Tim can provide a more robust solution.
