[SOLVED] Unable to build qt 4.8.0

I'm getting strange build errors with qt 4.8.0. I've never seen such errors before, and I have no idea what caused it.

http://pastebin.com/9dVBNLRz

The first suspicious signs are

ln: failed to create symbolic link `/home/user/abs/qt/src/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0/include/QtCore/qconfig.h': File exists
ln: failed to create symbolic link `/home/user/abs/qt/src/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0/include/Qt/qconfig.h': File exists

Then it starts to complain with lots of these

Finding project files. Please wait...
/usr/share/qt/mkspecs/modules/qt_phonon.pri:8: Unknown test function: !contains
Reading /home/user/abs/qt/src/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0/src/tools/bootstrap/bootstrap.pro
/usr/share/qt/mkspecs/modules/qt_phonon.pri:8: Unknown test function: !contains
Reading /home/user/abs/qt/src/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.0/src/tools/moc/moc.pro

And then these

WARNING: Failure to find: generated/AuthenticationManagerMessageReceiver.cpp
WARNING: Failure to find: generated/DownloadProxyMessageReceiver.cpp
WARNING: Failure to find: generated/DrawingAreaMessageReceiver.cpp
WARNING: Failure to find: generated/DrawingAreaProxyMessageReceiver.cpp

Finally it fails at building assistant. Sorry I don't have the error message with me anymore, but it's the same error as
http://comments.gmane.org/gmane.linux.a … eral/37469

Anyone know what went wrong? Thanks.

Re: [SOLVED] Unable to build qt 4.8.0

Strangely, Qt's configure script still looks for QtWebKit even though -no-webkit was specified. But if the package qtwebkit is removed from the system prior to compiling Qt, then webkit is not detected and it'll build happily.
