Oops. I decided to work on this this morning when time ran out for qsastime. Sorry we duplicated effort. For my implementation see revision 9944. It consists of a simple macro to parse a libraries list into its keyworded components, and use of that macro to decide on what component of QT_LIBRARIES to use. My tests of those changes (and the accompanying "before" and "after" QT_LIBRARIES results you see printed out from cmake) show that there is actually no Qt4 difference between debug, optimized, and general on my platform so I now get identical results for the Qt libraries regardless of CMAKE_BUILD_TYPE setting. However, this new logic obviously needs testing on platforms where there might be a difference in the various kinds of Qt4 libraries. With regard to qsastime, I have done some infrastructure changes that will make the final qsastime update much easier to do post-release. Those changes work for me, but they also obviously need testing between now and the (Sunday?) release on all accessible platforms. Alan __________________________ Alan W.
