"emerge qt" failed at a patch step

[Gueven Bay]

Hello dear KDE-Win community,

I tried today to build and install KDE on Windows - XP in my case -.

I followed the description on the Techbase page and created this environment:
H:\kderoot\emerge>kdeenv.bat
kdesettings.bat executed
KDEROOT     : H:\kderoot
KDECOMPILER : mingw
KDESVNDIR   : H:\kderoot\kdesvn
PYTHONPATH  : H:\Python25
DOWNLOADDIR : H:\kderoot\kdedownload

Then as proposed I tried an "emerge qt":

H:\kderoot\emerge\bin>emerge qt

H:\kderoot\emerge\bin>echo emerge.bat executed
emerge.bat executed

H:\kderoot\emerge\bin>python H:\kderoot\emerge\bin\emerge.py qt

Then I tried after removing the directory - with all underlying dirs -
qt-4.3.3.20071206 in H:\kderoot\tmp to re-emerge qt. It stopped at the
same step.
Then I tried to just delete the dir qt-win-opensource-src-4.3.3 under
H:\kderoot\tmp\qt-4.3.3.20071206 and then again re-emerge qt. It
didn't help.
Then I manually unzipped the qt zip file in the
H:\kderoot\tmp\qt-4.3.3.20071206 directory. It didn't help.


What is it, that causes this break?
How can I successfully emerge qt - so that I can build and install KDE
in the end -?


Thank you
