 The basic system works quite well. But a lot of applications and plugins,

 (The missing apps/plugins will be ported on demand.)
 
+Known Bugs (compilation problems):
+-----------
+The Apple-Linker does not load indirect linked libraries automatically ( if somebody
+has a solution here, please inform me !!), therefore I had to add "-lopiedb2" and "-lqpe"
+for applications/libraries who used libraries which are linked against them.
+A goot solution would be to add it in the project files of these application, but this would
+influence the linux-platform as well... :(
+As a first (but stupid) solution, I added this linker parameter to the global "include.pro" 
+which adds them for everything.. Yes, also for libqpe etc.. 
+Therefore this project will not compile out of the box. You have to compile in a two-pass way:
+
+Pass 1: Find the line "LIBS += -lopiedb2 -lqpe" in the file include.pro and comment out it (put a "#" 
+        in front of it)
+        Do a "make -k" to compile what is already compileable (some will not compile)
+Pass 2: Remove the comment from Pass1 and do a "make". The rest should compile now successfully.
+
+
+I know, this is a silly solution ! But I don't have anything better without influence the Linux build 
+process too much .. I  would be happy, if somebody could help me here !
