Could anybody throw me a bone and let me know what I need
to do to get qt to compile with the new Xft?
I've just finished getting the latest qt3 from Cooker to compile with Xft2. I had to make some tweaks to the configure script to get it all to play nicely together.

Here's what you need to do, assuming you've already installed the Mandrake source RPM:

1) Copy the attached qt-3.1.0-fix-xft.patch.bz2 file to /usr/src/RPM/SOURCES

2) cd to /usr/src/RPM/SPECS and apply the attached qt3.spec.patch.bz2 file to your qt3.spec file:
# bzip2 -dc qt3.spec.patch.bz2 | patch -p0

3) Rebuild the packages from the new spec file:
# rpm -ba qt3.spec

4) Profit!!! Well, maybe not. The resulting packages work OK for me, your mileage may vary. I'm using the latest freetype-devel, libXft2-devel, and fontconfig-devel packages from Cooker.
