Well, it was pretty easy ... all I had to do after running "qmake" and 
GNU "make" was to edit the Makefile and add the missing prefixes to 
these places, then run "sudo make install":

(1) Replace "/tools/qdoc3/qdoc3" in 1 place with 
"($MY_QTDIR)/tools/qdoc3/qdoc3";

(2) Replace "/bin/qhelpgenerator" in 2 places with 
"($MY_QTDIR)/bin/qhelpgenerator" OR 
"/usr/local/Trolltech/bin/qhelpgenerator" (if that is where you 
installed all the Qt libraries).

whereas ($MY_QTDIR) should be the path where you installed the Qt 
sources BEFORE compiling and installing them (i.e., 
"~/Qt/qt-x11-opensource-4.5.0" on my machine). qdoc3 is not installed in 
"/usr/local/Trolltech/..." anywhere (although "qhelpgenerator" is 
located in the "/usr/local/Trolltech/bin" directory).
