OK. One
must set (export) a QT_SELECT=4 or such before running

Since qmake never needed such an environment variable or argument
before, I do
consider this a bug. An example is that the ./configure here did not
set that
variable or supply an argument based on choices made by its qt choice
argment.
No one knew one needed it and the ./configure --help said that qt4 was
default.
So Rui, please implement (and the default qt4) in the configure.
excuse me :)
qtchooser, and thus the QT_SELECT switch, is probably a debian exclusive
thing, meaning that it's specific to some debian packaging policy,
organization and whatever--it is NOT a Qt thing and might not apply to
other distros or environments so easily, mainly because there's no
qtchooser package installed nor even available.
might be mistaken however ;)
Yeah, there are loads of distros out there (Debian/Ubuntu are major players),
but ...
If things were sooo simple, then a Makefile could be supplied and simply make
and run. Many of the plugins are distributed this way!
Configure is there for a purpose. Does not mean one must cater to every distro-
unique feature, but configure scripts do test OS versions, features, etc., to
enable transportability. So this QT_SELECT maybe does belong there.
