  We're actually working right now on getting an automated build and 
testing bot going. We do put alot of time into test cases for Gnash, 
which is important to develop quality software.

  You can ignore most of these warnings, they come from Autotools 
itself, and aren't important. Basically many of the functions defined 
need a [] around the name now for cleanliness sake.

  Hum.. Where are your QT libraries installed ? Do you have QTDIR set 
in your environment ? If you don't need the Konqueror plugin, you can 
use --disable-klash to eliminate this package being used.

  Depending on the version of Boost (1.31 va 1.33) these became 
separate packages. I'd dig through packages.debian.com to make sure you 
have all the Boost packages installed. (or use apt-file) Boost you must 
have, as we use it for all the lower level threading and mutex code.

  Potentially a bit of both... You can track down what is going wrong 
by making configure spit out debugging info. Set CONFIG_SHELL to "sh -x" 
in your environment, and then run "sh -x configure [other opts]" to get 
the huge amount of debug output. Then just search through this to sew 
where it finds and sets the QT paths.
