Linux/QT3

My solution is simplicity in itself. This can be done either from KDevelop (QMake tab to the right, subproject settings, custom variables) or a change to src.pro. Let's examine the GUI solution first.

1. Create a custom variable named QMAKE_UIC and assign it the value of "hack.sh" (but without the quotes). Apply, and exit.

2. Next, create the following file "hack.sh" and put the following in it:

#!/bin/bash

if [ $1 == -embed ]; then
    echo "== hack.sh substituted for uic so image collection works =="
    uic $* cat hack.cpp >> qmake_image_collection.cpp
else
    uic $*
fi

// This is a hack to make rebuilding this work. Note that during the build process this gets tacked
// on to the uic_image_collection.cpp file.

QImage canna_findImage( const QString& name )
{
    return(uic_findImage(name));
}
