Comment:

 Forget about qt3 on SL. qt3 depends on Carbon which is 32-bit only. Even
 if you pass this first trap (you can by forcing '-m32' to
 configure.cxxflags), you stumble on a #error "Unsupported MacOS X version"
 later while building qmake. That's in config.h. If you comment out this
 line, you realize that the -m32 flags is not passed to the qmake build
 process, and that causes other errors. I stopped here. If you are bold
 enough, you might try to go ahead by somehow forcing -m32 for building
 qmake. But then, at the end, even if you build and link OK, all the apps
 that depends on qt3 will have to be 32bit, that means building universal
 (since the default is now 64bit on SL) - with the assumption that the libs
 work correctly. Maybe you could ask nokia/trolltech if they intended to
 upgrade qt3 to SL, but that seems unlikely.
