qmake incorrectly generates Makefile with instruction to build the moc tool

[paulocarvalho_br_2009]

Why are you trying to build Qt "manually"?

Because I'm making changes to qmake itself, hence the confusion from my part. By the way, it's been a month since I made my merge request and it's still open:

http://qt.gitorious.org/qt/qt/merge_requests/569

I looked for a way to override and did not find this in the documentation.

Indeed, not there:

http://doc.trolltech.com/4.5/qmake-v...reference.html

Notice that you may override it by defining QMAKE_MOC.

That solved the moc not found problem and all moc_*.cpp files have been generated and compiled. Thanks. But it would be important to include that variable in the qmake variable reference.
