thanks for the hint... it was an problem with configure, if you can
develop QT apps without -L<qt-lib-path> (shared libs and static qgl-lib
*sigh*).

So this should be corrected now.

done...

I don´t think this would be a good thing, this would mean everybody has
to have
these libraries installed to make it (even if they are not needed to
compile the template project).
So I prefer the minimalistic solution, which tries to link only those
libraries, which are really necessary for the template-project.

I have done this, too. Now you will find a README.qgl in a newly created
NormalOGL project and configure will now stop if some of the following
GL libraries are missing:
-lqgl -lXmu -lMesaGL -lMesaGLU
or
-lqgl -lXmu -lGL -lGLU (on Solaris and others)
