I'd like to have Qt4 on the system in order to get some other apps. I assume that Qt4 is available in testing/ as qt-r887099-i486-1. Anybody knows where the name comes from? Can it co-exist with qt-3.3.8b? Does anybody know what is the difference between this package

http://packages.slackware.it/package...r887099-i486-1

and Trolltech's Qt-4.4.3

http://www.qtsoftware.com/downloads/.../linux-x11-cpp

?

Works fine..............

Qt 4 is a comprehensive, object-oriented development framework that
enables development of high-performance, cross-platform rich-client
and server-side applications. When you implement a program with Qt,
you can run it on the X Window System (Unix/X11), Apple Mac OS X, and
Microsoft Windows NT/9x/2000/XP by simply compiling the source code
for the platform you want. Qt is the basis for the KDE desktop
environment, and is also used in numerous commercial applications.

This Qt 4 package is created to enable co-existence with Slackware
native Qt 3 package; developers should only remember to use versions
with "-qt4" suffix (like "qmake-qt4", "assistant-qt4", "designer-qt4",
etc.) of programs that exist under same names in Qt 3 (and developers
using CMake should be fine without any additional action, because
stock CMake is already looking for "qmake-qt4" first).

That answers the question "how to get Qt4?". Thanks. Yet I would still like to hear answers to other questions.

The version in /testing is kde's copy of qt that includes additional patches for bugs not yet fixed in a released qt version. Further it is NOT meant to
coexist with qt3, so they can't be installed together.
