Thanks again Hannah,
I do seem to be getting somewhere but have once again hit a bit of a
wall. Among other things I turned up the short path drive substitution
stuff just to be sure that the problem wasn't there. But now I get a
repeated error:
Q:\qtwebkit\Source\WTF/wtf/Platform.h:703:36: fatal error:
WTF/WTFHeaderDetection.h: No such file or directory
compilation terminated.
And indeed the file WTFHeaderDetection.h seems to be totally missing.
But it is also missing from Thomas Friedrichsmeier's pre-built
environment, which seems to work.
Prior to that I get a series of errors that look a bit like this:
Q:/qtwebkit/WebKit.pro:21: 'use?' is not a recognized test function.
It's unclear to me whether the two errors are related or not. But either
way I am stuck and once again appealing for help.
The most recent full log file is here:

Cheers,
Jonathan

Hi your build failed to fetch dbus.
If emerge complains about checksum mismatch delete the downloaded file
and try it again, the same if it fails to extract a file.
emerge --make qtbase only works if --configure was successfully run
before, which is included in "emerge qt".
Cheers,
Hannah
