qt3-mac build failure: ranlib can't find libdesignercore.a

[Dan Stowell]

Hi,

qt3-mac fails to build for me, complaining that ranlib can't find a
file called libdesignercore.a. Does anyone have any clues for fixing
this?

Session output is below. I've tried it using both 4.0 and 3.3 as the
system default gcc, just in case that was part of the issue, but it
makes no difference to the behaviour.

PowerBook:~ dan$ sudo port clean --all qt3-mac

I've googled and searched the bugtracker, to no avail. So thanks in
advance for any tips -
