Use "cd plugins/icq ; qmake-qt4 icq.pro" instead of "qmake-qt4 icq.pro". debian/rules is just a makefile, so everything in the GNU Make manual applies to it. Also, you might want to file a bug upstream (with patch if you have time) asking for them to pick one build system and stick with it. -- bye, pabs http://wiki.debian.org/PaulWise
