QT is one of the longer compiles you'll do, but it should compile
overnight on a modern machine.

Looks good to me. Does it find and compile SQL?

You need to set $QTDIR=/usr/local/Qt. Set it in .bash_profile, .bashrc,
/etc/profile, or /etc/profile.d/*. Or just type export
QTDIR=/usr/local/Qt before compiling something. The official place in
mandrake for this is /etc/profile.d/qtdir3.sh.
