[Qt-jambi-interest] qt-jambi rpm

[Alexander Egger]

I started creating a RPM at opensuse build service. But was not able
to get it working by now.

On thing I found out is, that you should not try to reuse the existing
QT installation of the distribution to compile against.

The main reason for this is that the QT for qtjambi has to be compiled
using --no-mmx etc (see documentation of qtjambi).

So to build the rpm you have to first build qt and then to build qtjambi.

If you are interested in the spec file I created (although its not
ready now) I will send it to you.
