how to install Qt 4.4 (open source) prerelease on linux


Message 1 in thread

i m using fedora core 6, will it support Qt 4.4(opensource)
i had installed asusually by executing ./configure in source package.
but after make install , i didn't find anything related to phonon there.
phonon is available with Qt4.4 right? or i have to install phonon and
its backend Gstreamer separately for Qt 4.4, if so how ?
anybody please explain in detail?

regards

Phonon is not supported on all platforms. What was the output of configure? 
Did it tell anything about Phonon non supported? Try "configure -v" for 
verbose output.

Technically speaking, Phonon is supported in all platforms. We've been to 
great pains to make it compile even under VC 6.0.

However, the Phonon backends are another story. For Mac, it should be 
trivial since there's only one compiler and platform. For all other Unix, 
you need to have glib, gstreamer 0.10 and gstreamer-plugins-base 0.10 
installed on your system.

And on Windows, you need to install the DirectX SDK. VC 6.0 and gcc cannot 
parse those headers, so you'll have problems trying to build the backend.

Qt's configure script disables the Phonon build if the backend can't be 
compiled. But you could re-enable it (or go into src/phonon and build it 
there), or you could get the Phonon library from KDE.
