The sdk is relocateable, it adjusts the internal paths. Try moving the
sdk folder to somewhere else after installation and then run qmake.
Thats the problem that Anders has a Qt installation is not relocateable
unless you add qt.conf file that tells qmake where its "parts" are (lib,
header, docs, mkspecs etc). The prefix you choose under linux via
-prefix is hardcoded into the qmake executable (and on windows its the
same, except you don't have a -prefix switch).
