You mean here?

http://git.goldelico.com/?p=gta04-qtmoko.git;a=blob;f=src/build/bin/configure;h=9743ba1f7f7cb3527dac40133e517e733a544787;hb=18093e5a21ab6c8cf1e3694b4274e8f70cc07d1c#l1348

Good to know.

The other thing is that it could suffice to prefix $PATH
by /opt/qt-embedded/bin and it should find the qmake from qt-embedded-dev

BR and thanks,
