That is very far from amazing.

So far I've built QT 4.7.3 without maemo5 code (plain ./configure && make). I did not test it, and have no clue how it would look like on a device.

Since QT 4.7.4 was released few days ago, there was a debian section which did target maemo5 (configure -maemo5) . I've checked and it enables some additional C++ code, probably to enable seamless integration in existing environment. I don't know if we can use that code as well, or we have to make maemo4 equivalent.

In order to eliminate dependency issues, I am backporting packages from fremantle to diablo. At the moment I am stuck because pulseaudio uses alsa 1.0.19 (in fremantle), and alsa 1.0.14 does not provide all constants (and possibly behavior). If I backport alsa it may break existing applications.
