Just read the last messages carefully: Perl is needed to compile Qt base.

And I (and othe commercial devs) MUST compile Qt with their own config.
(explaining why industrial apps must have special Qt versions would bloat this
discussion)

No problem - I know and tested that already. I just have > 100 _spreaded_ .pro
files
(means: there's no single root dir or root .pro file) - so this can't be done
just adding one line ;-)

Commercial apps and frameworks are often a little bit bigger, than many fancy
desktop apps ;-) One project I currently wor for has for example > 250K lines -
for one target app ;-) ...and thats just a small example - most commercial
projects
don't measure codelines in hundred thousands - they are > 1 million codelines
;-)

ciao,
Chris
