That was both an excuse for my ignorance and the explanation of why the hell I find it appropriate to chime in all. I do not know what 'lrelease' is (ignorant, remember?), so I'd also ask if you really sure that, for instance, uicmoc is not a better place for the tool than qmake? The other thing is that when building uicmoc with qt3support module OE has to build almost the whole qt, anyway. Would it not be better if we just have qt-native package with all the tools installed? That would reduce the amount of merciless and senseless patching and I believe would reduce the slice of disk-space/cpu-time continuum eaten up by most of the builds. Does anyone happen to have an opinion? Love, H > I've a Qtopia application whose build needs to use some of the i18n > tools available from the Qt source distribution.
