[Qt-creator] Error compiling Creator on OpenBSD 4.4

[Israel Brewster]

And with that, it works, at least mostly. I had /lib/qtcreator in my  
LD_LIBRARY_PATH, but not /lib/qtcreator/plugins/Nokia A few remaining  
caveats:

1) "make install" didn't work. I had to manually move the lib/ 
qtcreator and share/qtcreator files to the appropriate directories.  
Easy enough though, as all the stuff I needed was arranged in proper  
subfolders of the QtCreator directory.

2) in the default configuration, running a build on a project doesn't  
work. QtCreator attempts to run the command "/usr/bin/make debug -w"  
Unfortunately, -w isn't a valid switch on OpenBSD's make command (or  
at least it isn't on mine). I can work around this by specifying "/usr/ 
bin/make" in the "override make" field of the project build settings,  
which is fine, but it doesn't work by default.

3) The welcome page "Lacks features due to disabled webkit support"  
Ok, so that's probably because I never installed webkit :) Of course,  
I don't even know if I can - it's not listed in the ports tree, as far  
as I can tell.

4) The make process doesn't like spaces in the file names. Works fine  
on Mac and Windows, but not BSD. But that is probably a BSD thing, not  
a QtCreator thing.

5) I'm having to specify my LD_LIBRARY_PATH enviroment variable  
manually each time I run the program. Not a big deal - I just tossed  
it in a little one-line script, and, of course, I could modify  
my .profile file to set it correctly whenever I log in (although that  
would only affect the current user, thus my doing it in a script), but  
it seems to me it should be more automatic.
