Wow, I've now duplicated my success following your excellent 
instructions contributed here:
http://kde-cygwin.sourceforge.net/qt3/compiling.php

However following my success compiling, I think you may have forgot that 
compiling under cygwin you just can't go to run the apps like you can 
when compiling for QT3/Windows Free Edition where the instructions are 
the same:

Start Qt applications

designer
assistant
linguist
cd tutorial/t1
t1

However, when attempting to do that following the previous instructions 
on the page for QT3/X11 I get the following errors:

cboothe at IT-staff ~/src/qt-3
$ designer
designer: cannot connect to X server 127.0.0.1:0

cboothe at IT-staff ~/src/qt-3
$

Hence my question as to whether following instructions still available 
via the README will solve the problem, or whether I should go back to 
the page on setting up KDE and follow those?

4. enter this directory and install the binary package into 
(tmp/package/...)

	./make.sh qt-x11-free-3.3.3.ebuild install
	
5. create a package (will be located under /tmp)
	
	./make.sh qt-x11-free-3.3.3.ebuild package

Because I think the last part of your instructions


Thanks as usual for all of your help and hard work! We couldn't have 
come this far without it!

Cheers!
