I suggest something like this:

On FreeBSD, install the following ports: "perl5.8",
"p5-POE-Component-Client-UserAgent", "qt" (qt 3.3), "qmake", "eject",
"transcode", "gmake", "py23-qt".
You can either install them from binary packages using 'pkg_add -r',
portupgrade, or by compiling them manually as described in chapter 4 of
the FreeBSD Handbook:
<http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/ports.html>
Usually, other depencies will be compiled/installed automatically.

Yes, ok. I definitively need --with-Qt-dir=/usr/X11R6/

Also, configure still fails at this point:

checking for Qt... yes:
     QT_CXXFLAGS=-I/usr/X11R6//include -DQT_THREAD_SUPPORT
     QT_DIR=/usr/X11R6/
     QT_LIBS=-L/usr/X11R6//lib -lqt-mt  -lSM -lICE  -L/usr/X11R6/lib
-lX11 -lXext -lXmu -lXt -lXi
     QT_UIC=/usr/X11R6//bin/uic
     QT_MOC=/usr/X11R6//bin/moc
checking correct functioning of Qt installation... failure
configure: error: Failed to find matching components of a complete
                   Qt installation. Try using more options,
                   see ./configure --help.


Only 'bnv_qt_test_4.out' contained errors. Those were with regard to
pthread functions, like:
"/usr/X11R6//lib/libqt-mt.so: undefined reference to `pthread_cleanup_pop'"

I solved this by adding a line reading QT_LIBS="$QT_LIBS -pthread" to
'configure'. Passing QT_LIBS="-pthread" on the command line of
'configure' did nothing.


Another error that wasn't present before:

checking for qmake flags... uname: illegal option -- o
usage: uname [-amnprsv]

 From a quick glance at the different systems' uname(1) man pages on
<http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/man.cgi> it can be followed that the '-o'
option is Linux specific, whereas '-s' is used to output the name of the
operating system on *BSD, Solaris etc.

So you could either try 'uname -o' first, check its return code and try
'uname -s' if the first one failed.
Or instead of 'uname' you could probably reuse the information of the
python platform.

Seems to work.

I still get this:

checking for sip include path... find: illegal option -- t
find: illegal option -- y
find: illegal option -- p
find: illegal option -- e
find: f: No such file or directory
find: /usr/share/sip: No such file or directory
/usr/local/share/sip,/usr/local/include/python2.3

yes. 'make' is the BSD make on BSD :-)

See above.


So far,
