Hi,

I have built some packages that needed the Qt3 libs.

Usually you need to do some "hacking" in the Makefile (or
<your-program>.pro) to guarantee the use of the Qt3 programs like
qmake, moc, assistant, etc. Just include the full path to the Qt3
programs, like /opt/kde3/bin/qmake /opt/kde3/bin/uic etc.
