Compiling FET OpenSuSE 11.1

[mikeh]

I am trying to install FET on OpenSuSE 11.1 final release.  As far as I can tell I have the correct versions of gcc (v4.3.2). make (3.81) g++ (4.3.2).
With Qt I have checked in YaST : I have qt3, qt3-devel and qt3-devel-tools packages and libqt4 and libqt4-devel so I think this is also correct.
BUT......
When I type qmake fet.pro absolutely nothing happens except that the command goes away and a blank prompt comes back immediately.
linux-z225:/downloads/fet/fet-5.7.7 # qmake fet.pro
linux-z225:/downloads/fet/fet-5.7.7 #

qmake-qt4 does not exist:
linux-z225:/downloads/fet/fet-5.7.7 # qmake-qt4 fet.pro
bash: qmake-qt4: command not found
linux-z225:/downloads/fet/fet-5.7.7 #
Can anyone give me some hints please
Mike

I also have openSUSE 11.1 final.

It is normal that qmake takes a very short time. Now you need to type "make" and this takes a long time.

I have added this note to future FET-5.8.0, please read it;

--------
Note2: under my openSUSE GNU/Linux, the intermediary files and the executable are very large, with default settings. (the fet executable is over 100 MB!). To avoid this, you need to modify the /usr/share/qt4/mkspecs/common/g++.conf      line 10, remove the "-g" flag for the release version (login as root to modify this)

Thanks heaps.  The program compiled without a hitch and I can now run ./fet and get to the main screen.
Still have to find out whet to do next!
