Once the include directory variable is correctly generated this problem will also go away (you are currently missing the Qt3/TQt3 include directory when copying the existing include variable to the new include variable). It is interesting that you have not noticed any problems with other CMake builds. This would seem to point to TDE at a minimum triggering a bug in CMake, and in the worst case something very obscure is wrong. Serghei probably knows much more about CMake than I do, so I am waiting for his response. Tim
