[newbies qns] how to compile Qt application

Hi, the first step is to download the existing GPL sdk, install this on 
your Linux system. It looks like you have done this. Or if others are 
interested, download the brand new GPL binary or source code Qtopia 1.5 
RPMs from http://www.trolltech.com/developer/download/qtopia.html.

The next step is to read the Qtopia documentation, especially the 
"Qtopia - Getting Started" file, doc/qtopia/start.html. This give 
information how to build applications.

Next is to try to build one, use the example version, 
/opt/Qtopia/example, and follow the instructions so you get the hang od it.

Then you want to build a Sharp specific binary, you need to get the arm 
toolchain compilers installed, see:
http://www.zauruszone.com/wiki/index.php?GCCBinaries

for more information how to get the arm tool chain produced by Sharp and
Lineo (Embedix). There's also another arm toolchain available at:
http://www.handhelds.org/downloads.html. But you need to be careful and 
make sure the right header files for Sharp Zaurus is present in this chain.

Try to build the example with the tool chain and install it, and see if 
it works. If that's done you should have a working dev. environment.

Hope this helps, Kent
