[Scons-users] QtDir not found

[Bill Deegan]

Philipp,

Sounds like (as previously discussed) we should rename the qt tool to qt3
and document that it's only for qt3.

There are many builders which are open sourced which the SCons project
doesn't maintain and may not even be aware of. Thus the recommendation to
hit the users mailing list first.

It may be a good idea to integrate the qt4 and qt5 builders (Assuming Dirk
is amenable and the community agrees, plus looks like there's already many
tests for his code.).

To be clear nobody is angry about you using SCons (We are even happy ;) ,
but like any community, we have recommended practices, one of which is to
ask on the users list prior to filing a bug. You'll get far more eyes on
the mailing list than on the bug tracker as well.

-Bill
