cmake ../..

this is the output:

CMake Error at cmake/FindQt4.cmake:1276 (MESSAGE):

Ubuntu Intrepid has the package that you need for compilation :
http://packages.ubuntu.com/search?suite=default&section=all&arch=any&searchon=names&keywords=libqt4-dev
Imho it makes sense to compile and run the software on an Ubuntu Intrepid installation.
Because backporting the qt software that you need in Ubuntu Hardy as deb packages might be a lot of work or impossible.

One other option could be to download Qt from the Qt website, and install that in /usr/local/ :

Because I was curious, I just tried backporting Qt dev files from Intrepid sources on my Hardy system, so i made a start :

It looks like this will build Qt 4.4.3 completely.

And I don't know how well Qt 4.3.x and 4.4.3 will live together on one Ubuntu system, but it might work without problems.

I'm also interested in this. I'm running Hardy on my EeePC and would like stellarium 0.10.1 so I can use my EeePC when out with my 'scope. :)

I tried using the backports repo but the QT version was still outdated/not high enough for the build... Also, I somehow ended up breaking apt-get and had to re-install (dont ask me how, all I did was close the software-sources app after disabling backports!)...

So yeah, I'll wait for someone to post up proper instructions how to do it under Hardy :)

Feel free to backport Qt yourself :
1) add the Ubuntu Intrepid sources to your /etc/apt/sources.list
2) run : sudo apt-get update
3) run : sudo apt-get build-dep libqt4-dev
4) run : sudo apt-get -b source libqt4-dev
5) after successful compilation, look at the produced *.deb files and install them with "sudo dpkg -i"

YMMV.. Compilation might take quite some time (!), I've just started testing this.

[albinootje]

Okay, I've just tested it, and the Qt 4.4.3 debs want to replace the Qt 4.3.x debs, but that also means that all already installed Qt-based applications will be removed!

After that I've ran the following to solve the problem, and go back to the previous state :


sudo aptitude keep-all
-- cut --
Downgrade the following packages:
libqt4-core [4.4.3-0ubuntu1.2 (now) -> 4.3.4-0ubuntu3 (hardy)]
libqt4-gui [4.4.3-0ubuntu1.2 (now) -> 4.3.4-0ubuntu3 (hardy)]
libqt4-qt3support [4.4.3-0ubuntu1.2 (now) -> 4.3.4-0ubuntu3 (hardy)]
libqt4-sql [4.4.3-0ubuntu1.2 (now) -> 4.3.4-0ubuntu3 (hardy)]
qt4-qtconfig [4.4.3-0ubuntu1.2 (now) -> 4.3.4-0ubuntu3 (hardy)]

Score is 857

Accept this solution? [Y/n/q/?]

After choosing "Y" here, I also had to run this :


dpkg -i --force-all /var/cache/apt/archives/libqt4-*4.3.4*

And then run "sudo aptitude keep-all" again to correct all the Qt version differences problems.

So.. beware, if you have already Qt-based applications installed, then you only want to compile and run this software on an Ubuntu Intrepid installation, or.. compile the Qt 4.4.3 from source (from the Qt website) in Hardy and choose an installation PREFIX like /usr/local
