Um, it had everything to do with qt. qmake is part of qt.
The README doesn't contain _any_ build instructions, as it points you to the
documentation on the website or in the docs/ subdir:
"
See the mythtv-HOWTO.html or mythtv-HOWTO.txt file in the docs/ subdirectory
or on http://www.mythtv.org/docs/ for in-depth instructions on installing and
compiling mythtv and all of the pre-requisites. It has instructions for
various linux distributions.
"
If you had bothered to read the 'Manually compiling MythTV' section (at
http://www.mythtv.org/docs/mythtv-HOWTO-5.html#ss5.4 ) you'd have seen the
'qmake mythtv.pro' is a required step.
So, hm. Let's blame the docs for not having the information you needed some
more.
