Hi Chris,

I'm not sure I understand what rule has to be added/changed for you?
Is it just the location of the QWT header files? That's going to be a
continuous problem since they don't produce a package config file for
us to work off of. We're basically left to chase down all possible
include directories where we know it exists. Also, now that QWT 6 is
out, a lot of platforms are switching to that, so if we hard code
/usr/include/qwt5, that'll just break when OpenSUSE moves to Qwt6 and
we'll have to write another rule.

Any advice for how to best handle this situation is appreciated. (But
getting rid of Qwt isn't an option; it's way too useful.)
