I haven't done much testing on it yet (only > ran kdehelp a couple of times), but nothing obvious. As far as I can tell, the KDE ports find Qt just fine. KDE insists on putting everything under the same dir, as does Qt. This violates our hierarchy (see hier(7) manpage), so we had to make some mods to the configurations for Qt and KDE ports. It's not that difficult. If you're gonna use a port, use ports for its dependencies too. You'd be stupid not to use the ports whenever you can. No one has ever provided me a convincing reason why this is not true. -- Will Andrews <andrews@technologist.com> GCS/E/S @d- s+:+>+:- a--->+++ C++ UB++++ P+ L- E--- W+++ !N !o ?K w--- ?O M+ V-- PS+ PE++ Y+ PGP+>+++ t++ 5 X++ R+ tv+ b++>++++ DI+++ D+ G++>+++ e->++++ h! r-->+++ y?
