I should have been more specific - the newer version in svn is under the "branches/3.0" directory, not under the trunk (yet).
Version 3.x is using the standard GNU configure scripts rather than qmake, so it is configured like most other linux packages (./configure --help for options)
Usually, just do the following:
sh ./autogen.sh (only needed with subversion)
./configure
make
make install
Of course, you can fine-tune just how it compiles and installs using the various flags in the configure script.
