That would be great, but someone has to take that responsibility as I am already at the maximum time I can devote to the cygwin port, unfortunately. > * The way qmake handles relative paths seems screwy, resulting in > missing includes which necessitated the qt-copy-includes script.

If the build dir is placed alongside the source dir, maybe the counter doesn't need to be adjusted. However, the problem with the includes only arose with recent Qt versions, so something was screwed in the build system, apparently.

I think it will be, especially if you plan to ITP a cygwin package ;-) -- Enrico
