/qtopia/ how to upgrade without reflashing?

[Jim Morris]

Did you have to set any special Environment variables or paths to get this to work?

I have installed the toolchain on a Ubuntu Linux system, and it gets quite a long way through, but 
end up getting this error eventually...

../../include/QtCore/../../../../../qtopia-opensource-src-4.3.2-snapshot-20080801/qtopiacore/qt/src/corelib/tools/qlist.h:355: 
error: no matching function for call to ‘operator new(unsigned int, QList<bool (*)(void**)>::Node*)’
<built-in>:0: note: candidates are: void* operator new(unsigned int)

While trying to build this...

I have also tried to use the VMPlayer based SDK trolltech provide, but that also gets an error 
during build, but a different one. I'd prefer to use the local toolchain as it is faster of course.

Thanks
