 Yes, I admit that when I saw the bundled Botan was so i386-specific, I
 wasn't optimistic that qt4-creator would build on PPC -- but then you
 showed me you did build it, so I was encouraged to try.

 The general instructions on how to set up a local portfile repository are
 here <https://guide.macports.org/chunked/development.local-
 repositories.html>.



 > BTW, I wonder if I sometimes could contribute with binary builds to the
 MacPorts repository, in our case to `http://packages.macports.org/qt4
 -creator-mac`, but I have no idea (i) how to assemble some (still fictive)
 `qt4-creator-mac-2.8.1_3.darwin_9.ppc.tbz2` conforming some MacPorts
 standards, and (ii) how to upload or get eligible to do uploads? Others
 might benefit and often enough could save a lot of compiling time.


 MacPorts could not accept an uploaded package from a user. There are too
 many things that could go wrong. MacPorts has a big investment in
 security, and it relies on it's trusted reputation. So unless another PPC
 buildbot arrives, then we're stuck building ports.
