first off, how did qt's configure auto detect xft without you making some
symlinks or editing the configure.test (or whatever its called) file?

second off, i've done this twice.  once for qt-3.1.0 and again for qt-3.1.1.
both times i've followed instructions from people on mailing lists.

for qt-3.1.0, the process includes making some symlinks, making sure some
xft and fontconfig devel packages (as well as the non devel packages,
duh...;) are installed, then finally editing ALL the project makefiles to
link to xft AND fontconfig.  that last step must be done after you run
configure (and can easily be done with perl and a regular expression).

for qt-3.1.1, the fix posted was much simpler.  you simply change two lines
in the configure.test (dunno if thats the exact name) file, then add to your
configure command line options '-I/usr/include/Xft2'.

i know what you're thinking.  'i can't believe i read this entire email to
get these half assed directions on how to kinda do something!!'.  well, send
me an email and when i go back home and check my email, i'll have the exact
directions for you.  that'll prolly be around new years though...=/  ahh
well, i'm sure plenty of people on this list can tell you how to do it...
