Description
qmake calculates configures prefix path as a relative path. this comes in very unhandy when you need to install to a temporary dir to create packages. make install INSTALL_ROOT=path is rendered completely useless by this behaviour.

qmake has a bug that building under /usr will, in some conditions, create bad paths - http://lists.atrpms.net/pipermail/atrpms-devel/2004-February/000018.html. The workaround is to build under another dir (or fix qmake). Maybe this should be added to the wiki?
