Hi Peter,

1) restart the build of qt using 'emerge --noclean qt'
2) after 5 or ten minutes (you need to let it build moc.exe, uic.exe and 
then recreate all the Makefiles) open a new Command Prompt window, empty 
the path, run kdeenv.bat so that it is all ready to run emerge.
3) Change to the directory of the failed compile
	cd 
%kderoot%\build\libs\qt-4.6.0.20100109\work\mingw4-RelWithDebInfo-4.6\tools\designer\src\components\lib
4) now run this:-
	mingw32-make -f Makefile
5) let the build of qt complete (several hours)
6) restart the build of digikam with
	emerge digikam
