I just followed the compilation instructions, from Qt3/Win32.
The Makefile in the CVS is your Makefile, on your computer. This is for 
branch QT_WIN32_3_BRANCH, but if you take a look at the Makefile in 
QT_WIN32_3_2_BRANCH, you will have a totally another Makefile, which is 
the Main Makefile for building Qt library, examples and tutorial.

So, this means that Qt3/Win32 will run natively on Windows? As it did 
for Mr. Kuemmel?
Well, I was planning to do the same as Mr. Kuemmel, and fix Qt-source, 
and thereby compile it with MSVC.
I got his "description" in what to do before compilation, but 
unfortunatly I haven't got any time to actually persue this.

When I do, what BRANCH should I patch for, if patching is needed?
There are two branches: qt_win32_3_branch and qt_win32_3_2_branch.
I see that the qt_win32_3_branch is recently patched....Should I use this?

You have installed all service packs to msvc-6.0?
