Yes, we have retained Qt2 support for now. Personally, I've never had a problem using Qt3's uic although we do insist that you use Qt2's designer if you want to modify a .ui file. > Since adding the -nounload flag to UICFLAGS makes LyX build > successfully, maybe it's not really a QT bug; maybe the LyX top-level > Makefiles should specify that flag.

That's usually a key reason :) Given that there's nothing about the flag in "man uic", maybe you should bug the Trolls about that? What does the flag do BTW? -- Angus
