i checked out the repo yesterday and can't compile any of the Qgears stuff. (utils included) mostly because there seams to be some issue w/ the ogre packages in my distro(or the ppa im using), hopefully once that is sorted out i can get it build.
edit also if i/we can get it to compile on linux clean from source with a makefile, list of depends etc. i mostly should be able to make these when i get ogre working right. i can then let the ubuntu PPA compile it for us. (dailys , weekly , whenever a an updated version us neeed.)
