I could not build mlt 0.2.5 against TQt3 without patching. I noticed the old version several days ago.

The challenge is this package is a continually moving target. We don't offer anything that directly depends upon mlt/mlt++. Seems to me that anybody building other packages needing mlt will do so through their distro and are likely to build those packages against Qt4 or GTK.

Are you sure you built the latest mlt against TQt3 without errors? The qimage module needs patching because qimage does not know about TQt3, only Qt3.
