LOL - ok, I will. I would. If I could.

Downloaded the svn and tried to compile it, it stopps here:

/usr/lib/gcc/i586-suse-linux/4.2.1/../../../../i586-suse-linux/bin/ld: 
cannot find -lqt-mt

Any idea what's wrong here?

There is an older Gambas3 on my system which is running ok, should I try 
with that one? Don't know how "old" it is, but it has a Copyright until 
2009 in the help... :-)
