with respect to a 'respin' i'm thinking the changed configure option for the

whether this will be a trivial respin without headache is doubtful, as there
must have been a valid reason to override the -qt3support default. in addition
there will probably be a bit of additional gar configuration needed to package
up the Qt3Support library, include files and anything else that implement
the qt3 support stuff.
I'm not the initial maintainer of thess packages and I do not
know the reason behind having inhibited the qt3 support capability.
Nothing is trivial in building such a massive package set as Qt but I'll
try to see if it's not a low hanging fruit and a respin will make it fall.

i fully recognize that this effort might be for naught, but do appreciate
the attempt. after looking at the instructions to configure/build qt4 on
my unsupported solaris-10-sparc-gcc and the source/config changes made in
the past by those sharing the effort i decided it might better to ask
opencsw to give it a go and thereby giving more of us solarians the benefit
of a package but mostly to save me a bunch of eyestrain and headache.
if there is anything i can do to help you with this effort please give me a
shout.
thanks
