Thank you again Ralf, thank you again Peter!

Here is my second pass at trying to work through this exercise today:

1. opened cygwin command line shell
2. cd /
3. tar jxvf qt-x11-free-3.3.3-0.tar.bz2
4. cd /home/cboothe/src/qt-3/build
5. export QTDIR=/home/cboothe/src/qt-3/build
6. export QT_SOURCE_TREE=/home/cboothe/src/qt-3
7. $QT_SOURCE_TREE/configure -platform cygwin-g++ -plugin-imgfmt-mng 
-qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng -qt-libjpeg -qt-libmng -no-g++-exceptions 
-thread -no-stl -no-sm -no-xft -no-xkb -no-xrender -disable-opengl 
-disable-sql -prefix /opt/qt/3.3 -fast

Which resulted in the following error output:

$ $QT_SOURCE_TREE/configure -platform cygwin-g++ -plugin-imgfmt-mng 
-qt-zlib -qt-gif -qt-libpng

A couple of concerns/questions/observations:

1. After running configure unsuccessfully is it important to rerun 
configure with some option to clean out cached files? Something similer 
to "make clean" when rebuilding a kernal?

2. Same question regarding the qt-3 source directory? Right now I have 
consigned myself to moving the directory and starting fresh. Is that 
good practice?

Thanks!!!
