Did you do a "make install"? (required till next major commit)

no, i didn't.[[BR]]
actually, i never ever did before.[[BR]]
(i'm used to using perl, where programs use the !FindBin module to become independent of hard-wired paths. :-)[[BR]][[BR]]
but i found a problem with this: i reissued the qmake command with additional PREFIX and TRANSDIR_MERKAARTOR options.[[BR]]
but this does not propagate into all Makefiles, not even after a make distclean.[[BR]]
...i retried with a fresh svn checkout, this helped.[[BR]]
is this normal?

1. The problem was not BIN but data's. But as I said it won't be necessary anymore, soon.

2. you have to do a "qmake '-r' PREFIX=..." to propagate
