The version 4.4 of QT might not be available on old distributions. Ubuntu provides QT 4.4 backports for Hardy but not for Gutsy. Debian testing and unstable contain QT 4.4 but not the Debian stable. If your distribution does not provide QT 4.4, you will have to compile it yourself. This is easily done on Debian and Ubuntu with the following:
# You will need these packages sudo apt-get install wget fakeroot dpkg-dev mkdir qt cd qt wget http://ml.nec-labs.com/download/qt/qt4-x11_4.4.0-4.dsc wget http://ml.nec-labs.com/download/qt/qt4-x11_4.4.0.orig.tar.gz wget http://ml.nec-labs.com/download/qt/qt4-x11_4.4.0-4.diff.gz dpkg-source -x qt4-x11_4.4.0-4.dsc cd qt4-x11-4.4.0 dpkg-buildpackage -rfakerootThe command
dpkg-buildpackage
might complain for some unmet
dependencies. Install them with apt-get install
, and then execute the
command again. The compilation takes around two hours on a recent computer.
You can then install all the packages it created with:
cd .. sudo dpkg -i *.debFor distributions not Debian-based, please refer to the documentation for compiling packages. You might also be able to find QT 4.4 binary packages on the web.
We provide ourselves binary packages for some architecture.
