While trying to compile qcad 2.0.4.0-r3, the build kept failing while trying to build the files in qcadlib. The build tried to use qmake to build a module but could not find qmake as it looked in /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake for qmake and qmake is actually in /usr/bin/qmake. I created the dir /usr/lib/qt3/bin and ln -s'ed /usr/bin/qmake to /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake and then the ebuild worked perfectly.

Please, post some actual compile output with the errors and reopen then. Thanks.
Here is some compile info from the failed compile: -------- Building qcadlib -------- build_qcad.sh: line 152: /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake: No such file or directory make prepare make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/portage/qcad-2.0.4.0-r3/work/qcad-2.0.4.0-1.src/qcadlib' test -d ./include || mkdir -p ./include ( cd ./include; rm -f *.h; \ for hf in `find ../src -name '*.h'`; do \ ln -s "$hf" 2> /dev/null || cp "$hf" .; \ done ) make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/portage/qcad-2.0.4.0-r3/work/qcad-2.0.4.0-1.src/qcadlib' rm -f ./lib/libqcad.a make ./lib/libqcad.a make[1]: Entering directory `/var/tmp/portage/portage/qcad-2.0.4.0-r3/work/qcad-2.0.4.0-1.src/qcadlib' cd src && /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake qcadlib.pro /bin/sh: /usr/lib/qt3/bin/qmake: No such file or directory make[1]: *** [src/Makefile] Error 127 make[1]: Leaving directory `/var/tmp/portage/portage/qcad-2.0.4.0-r3/work/qcad-2.0.4.0-1.src/qcadlib' make: *** [all] Error 2 Building qcadlib failed !!!

Thanks.
After compiling this on another box and having it work just fine (set up very similarly) I figured out that I had exported QTDIR= in the shell that I tried to emerge qcad in while doing a different compile earlier. This messed up where qcad looked for qt and sure enough, closing that shell and reopening it reset $QTDIR and let qcad compile just fine on this machine. I'll call that an "oops" on my part. But qcad still is not working at 100%. I can draw with it but it seems to be missing the files required to draw hatches and the fonts to put text in the drawings (and is also missing any entries for GUI language) as it draws a blank when trying to do either. However if one is to open the DXF output file in another machine running any program that can open DXF images, you can clearly see the hatching and text. On the other machine I have qcad on, I can see the hatching and text also.
-r1 works well, but -r3 doesn't show fonts (also of saved projects). And like Phillip mentioned: Eventhough "german" gui is selected (no other language offered) everything is english.
Folks, I've just committed -r4 which fixes the internationalization (I tried German and Spanish) and the font issue at least for me. Please give it a try and report back. Thanks, Markus
Thanks Markus, -r4 fixes the font and hatch issues. I use the English GUI and it seems just fine. There still seems to be an issue with the manual. Clicking Help->Manual or F1 gives "The page could not be found!".
*** Bug 196383 has been marked as a duplicate of this bug. ***
does sci-misc/qcad-2.0.5.0 resolve this last issue?
The manual works for me with qcad 2.0.5.0 and KDE 3.5. It does say "not found" when I first press Help, but the content list is available and I can view all parts of the manual.
fixed in stable 2.0.5.0
