Bug 217240: emulators/virtualbox-ose fails to build when kbuild looks for
moc-qt4
https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=217240



--- Description ---
A recent update to ports updated qt4 ports to stop them from installing
directly to /usr/local/bin, and to stop appending "-qt4" to their names.  Now,
one selects which Qt version using qtchooser.

This appears to have broken virtualbox-ose building.  Now, compilation aborts
well into the process with this error:

kBuild: moc VBoxDbg -

So clearly there's something amiss, because it should not be looking for
moc-qt4 in /usr/local/lib/qt4/bin, but just "moc"

I have tried force-reinstalling kBuild to no avail.

The only thing that was able to get me back to being able to buil VirtualBox
was by hamfistedly symlinking /usr/local/lib/qt4/bin/moc-qt4 to moc, so that
kmk could find it.

I'm not sure if this is an issue with kBuild or VirtualBox.
