Ahh..
    That little bit isn't on _any_ web page that I found through  
google. I _did_ find lots of people asking the same question as me  
though..

So I made the changes and now things seem to be building ok. Just  
some QT errors to deal with now..

I tried to edit the wiki at "http://wiki.qtcentre.org/" but the  
"create new account" seems to be broken. The Page "http:// 
wiki.qtcentre.org/index.php?title=Compiling_Qt4_apps_with_CMake" has  
an example cmake file that will NOT work because of the same mistake.

And I am not a member of the other website http://qtnode.net/wiki/ 
Qt_with_cmake to edit that wiki either.

Both of these need to be updated.

Thanks for the help
