I dont get what you mean here=8C what creates the usr/pkgsrc/x11/qt
directory?
I tried pkg_add qt-1.40.tar.gz and it moaned about a lack of a +CONTENTS
file.

And this still wont fix the ar -cqs problem, as the package from
ftp.netbsd.org also has that line in the src/makefile.

Anyway, I'll try linking against netbsd-g++-shared and see what happens.

Just did that=8C It compiled and made up libqt.a and then barfed=8C cant find
-Bshared.

ARRRRGHHHHH!
