Qtopia

Qutopia holds a tremendous possibility for eliminating much of the
unnecessary complexity of the whole program stack.

Well.. I don't think the world is ready yet to kill X11.

As far as I've figured it out, it works like this

- Download a snapshot from ftp://ftp.trolltech.com/qtopia/snapshots/.
I've got qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080810.tar.gz.
- Unpack it somewhere.
- Create an empty installationa directory, in my
case /usr/local/opt/qtopia, and cd there.
- Run <prefix>/qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080810/configure.
- Run make
- Run make install

At least it ought to work like that. I'm stumped because configure/qmake
insists to use the default gcc/g++, 4.3.1 in my case, which does not
compile some of the code. Some of the problems are minor, I finally
stumbled for good over a dynamic_cast. gcc/g++ 4.2 will presumably
work, however, I haven't found the switch, env variable or whatever
else it takes, to tell configure/qmake to use /usr/bin/g++-4.2.
