This is a quick how-to in installing the latest, as of 12/24/2009, Qt framework 4.6 in OpenSuse 11.2. By the way, Qt is a cross-platform application and UI framework. It can be used to develop web-enabled applications and user interfaces once and deploy them across Windows, Mac, Linux/X11, embedded Linux, Windows CE and Symbian. Download the binaries from http://qt.nokia.com/ . As of this writing, the latest version is 4.6 which comes with a lot of new features especially the multi-touch aware which is pretty much what is expected from latest generation of smartphone applications. Change to the directory where the file was downloaded, like: $: cd /home/username/ $: chmod u+x qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.05.bin What we just did was to make the file executable. Finally, install the application by running the following command: $: ./qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.05.bin See below for screen capture while installing Qt. Note that Qt SDK needs additional software to work
