Description Sander van Zoest 2005-10-11 07:48:24 UTC 
dependencies such as libpng, libmd5, QT, teTex, ghostscript can not be pointed
to by configure.

The configure script relies on QTDIR and tries to search for most of the other
dependencies. When these found locations are not the ones that you wanted to
use, there is no way to override configure to state where to find these
dependencies.

This is available for --install, --dot, --make and --perl, but no equivalents
exist for the above dependencies.

I am going to mark this as a dependency of my autotools improvement bug.  troll
make is expected to be history with the implementation of autotools.

This bug re-opened when it should not have.
