LKBEN11162: Howto install the qt development kit on debian 5.0 Lenny (qt creator)
Symptom
You want to install QtCreator on debian or kubuntu
Cause
none
Solution
This is a wonderfull development environment for windows, Linux and more
Go to the trolltech (now Nokia) website and make a download of the development kit.
In my case it was the file "qt-sdk-linux-x86_64-opensource-2009.03.1.bin". Save it in your homedirectory as a normal user. After the download you need to make it executable with
chmod +x qt-sdk-linux-x86_64-opensource-2009.03.1.bin
Now you can run the binary.
./qt-sdk-linux-x86_64-opensource-2009.03.1.bin
I installed it in my homedirectory under qtsdk-2009.03 which is the default.
When you start qtcreator (located in the bin directory of the qtsdk installation) you can start your first program.
I needed to install some extra libraries to get the first program working. Because of the cannot find -lSM -gObject -libext error messages. After installing the following libraries I could compile the first programs.
apt-get install libxft-dev libfreetype6-dev
apt-get install libgee-dev
apt-get install libslang2-dev
apt-get install libsm-dev
apt-get install libextractor-dev
Have fun with Qt development.
