That's an important piece of information here. So you are not building
in a clean chroot environment.

It is true that we pass --enable-client=all to the build system but
since we are not build-depending on any qt-libs which are necessary to
build freeciv-qt the build will not fail on the buildd server. I see
that this can lead to some confusion when people are not building in a
clean environment. I will instead pass

--enable-client=gtk2,gtk3,sdl,xaw,stub

to the configure step explicitly. I hope that helps.

Markus
