[Mingw-cross-env-list] Qt on Debian/kFreeBSD

[Tony Theodore]

Hi Mark,

I've been working on getting Debian/kFreeBSD running and have a
question about ./configure in qt.

The Debian build system [1] copies 'mkspecs/linux-g++' to
'mkspecs/glibc-g++' and then deletes the include directory:

    # Remove include directory. Then ./configure will take care of calling
    # syncqt and regenerating it.
    rm -rf include

At the moment, I'm wrapping this in:

    [ `uname -s` = 'GNU/kFreeBSD' ] && \
    cp -a '$(1)/mkspecs/linux-g++' '$(1)/mkspecs/glibc-g++' && \
    rm -rf '$(1)/include'
    cd '$(1)' && \ ...etc

Do I need to worry about only doing this conditionally? The copy wont
affect any other systems, but will deleting and re-generating the
include directory have any impact?

If deleting the include dir isn't something we want to do across the
board, is the

[ `uname -s` = 'GNU/kFreeBSD' ] &&

test a good approach, or should I patch configure in some way to
delete it (I'm already patching it to detect the platform [2])?

Cheers,

Tony
