[Request] Shrew Soft VPN Client

Hello,
I'm trying to make a VPN connection with the Shrew Soft client from www.shrew.net because I still have a profile created on Windows. However, I already fail at compiling the package, when I try to compile the latest stable build, it tells me that it cannot find the path for the QT library (although it's installed). It appears to depend on cmake for compiling purposes and yet fails to compile the IKE headers if I disable the GUI in the cmake options (I guess some C++ switch is wrong in the config, not sure though). Can anyone make a PKGBUILD for it? I'd really appreciate it, since it's a popular VPN client for Windows and Linux.
Thanks,

Re: [Request] Shrew Soft VPN Client

I don't want to push this thread, but I've finally managed to make a PKGBUILD for it. It's now on AUR (entry 28548) and my first packet there It's necessary to add 'iked' to the DAEMONS list in /etc/rc.conf, start it up once by hand and use ikea-qt to set up and connect to your networks.
