[Qt-creator] Error building QT Creator from source

Hi again,

sorry for having to ask again, but I encountered problems when trying to build QtCreator from
source.

I fetched the latest revision of Qt from the git hub and built it using the command line
"./configure -nomake examples -nomake demos -opensource -graphicssystem raster" - just in case that
it's relevant to the problem. It worked fine.

I then tried to compile QtCreator using this Qt installation. First the latest Qt version from git,
which failed with

dependenciespanel.h:34:34: Error: ui_dependenciespanel.h: File or directory not found.

Then the QtCreator V1.2.1 source release from the Qt download page, which failed with 

cd share/ && make -f Makefile 
make[1]: Entering directory `/home/dev_tsd/dev/qt_x86/creator1.2.1/share'
cd qtcreator/ && make -f Makefile.static 
make[2]: Entering directory `/home/dev_tsd/dev/qt_x86/creator1.2.1/share/qtcreator'
(test -z "" || cd "" ; targ=`basename phony_target`; objcopy --only-keep-debug "$targ" "$targ.debug"
&& objcopy --strip-debug "$targ" && objcopy --add-gnu-debuglink="$targ.debug" "$targ" && chmod -x
"$targ.debug" ) ;
objcopy: 'phony_target': No such file

So what's wrong here? Did I step in at an inconvenient time? I'm probably not the first one trying
to build the creator from source, so I guess it has to be something with my setup. But both errors
look like source code errors to me. 

Any hint on how to build QtCreator with the latest Qt revision is greatly appreciated.

Bye, Thomas
