Hi all, I've been compiling Qt4.4 off and on for some time now on a kubuntu box. The other day I updated the the kubuntu version to 8.04 and svn up'd Qt. Now, when I run make I get the following error message:


make: unrecognized option `--build-native'

I'm not calling make with any params besides -j (leaving that off makes no difference naturally enough) and 'which make' points to /usr/bin/make and doesnt seem to be aliased or anything. A quick grep doesn't show any obvious points in the makefiles that would include this parameter.

Can anyone lend a hand? I'm a bit mystified as to how this came about.


cheers
Nathan

So the flag was being introduced because I was running icecc. The OpenSUSE doc on icecream claims this is required but it seams not to be supported by what I assume is a newer version of make introduced by the kubuntu upgrade. Stop using icecc and no more problem compiling at least.
