Ok, and the emerge steps for kdelibs and all that will if Qt's qmake is
found use the Qt in C:\Qt\4.8.4, or do I need to adapt the emerge
scripts somewhere?

I might indeed later try to build a Calligra and KDE support libs that
use the standard installed Qt: I'd hate to have to install a custom
build Qt on my clients' Windows machines ...

Although I guess that what it is building right now is ABI compatible
with what I have installed using qt-win-opensource-4.8.4-vs2010.exe?

(Apparently I have installed 4.8.4 and not 4.8.3 :-/, I just noticed it)

Hmm no right now it uses anongit.kde.org. I changed the Python script
for Qt to use gitorious and now it is working:

r:\emerge\portage\libs\qt\qt-4.8.2.20120321.py:

        #self.svnTargets['4.8.2'] = "[git]kde:qt|4.7-stable|v4.8.2"
        self.svnTargets['4.8.2'] = "git://gitorious.org/qt/qt.git|4.8|v4.8.2"
        self.svnTargets['4.8.3'] = "git://gitorious.org/qt/qt.git|4.8|v4.8.3"
        #self.svnTargets['4.8.3'] = "[git]kde:qt|4.7-stable|v4.8.3"

Right now it's building that v4.8.3 tag of qt on gitorious.

I hope that anongit.kde.org's branches aren't different than gitorious's

Yes :-\

Meh, always something when trying to do something on Windows machines.

Would be great if Calligra's team would invest in a nice Windows SDK.
But I understand that I'm probably a bit early to ask ;-)

Kind regards,

Philip
