[Interest] using the Qt SDK - qmake and mkspecs not copied?

OK I figured out what was going on. It seems that make install was failing halfway through because it couldn't find some webkit-related pro file. make install -i (ignore errors) forced it to complete and qmake and the mkspecs were copied.

Instead I have to create softlinks to qmake and the mkspecs dir in the original source directory, after-which QtCreator sees /Developer/QtSDK/Desktop/Qt/474 as a valid install.
