qmake is special because it's not built with qmake (circular dependency). So its Makefile is much simpler and is not as complete. When I have such an issue, I do: rm -rf qmake cmd \ /c config.status If you're in a regular DOS prompt, probably rd /s /q qmake config.status -- Thiago Macieira - thiago (AT) macieira.info - thiago (AT) kde.org Software Architect - Intel Open Source Technology Center _______________________________________________ subsurface mailing list subsurface@subsurface-divelog.org http://lists.subsurface-divelog.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/subsurface
