Hello,

I got an answer to my problem on the user-mailing-list of boost:

Hi Bert,
the problem is that M10 is pretty old version of Boost.Build. I'd suggest
you obtain the nightly version from http://boost.org/boost-build2

In fact, I'm surprised that you got Qt4 application working, M10 has no
support for Qt4, while current version has very complete Qt4 support.

This solves my problems, also for the Qt4 stuff.
It might be a good idea to update the boost-build package?


Kind regards
