I want to install Qt4.6 beta to my N900 (for testing purpose). I am not certain whether if this is doable or not. Can any familiar with this area confirm it?

I followed the instruction here on my N900:
http://wiki.maemo.org/Qt4_Hildon#Usi...s_in_Fremantle

but Qt did not get installed.

Thanks in advance.

Isn't ' fakeroot ' used only in scratchbox ?
If you've installed rootsh, use ' sudo gainroot ' instead.

Ah, ... and if you bricked your device, don't mention my nick.

Here's what I did

1. enable the extras-devel repository in app manager
2. use sudo gainroot to get root access (you need to install the rootsh package for this to work)
3. then "apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-modulename" where module name is the module you want to install (gui, network, sql etc. - but actually installing one might pull the others because of dependencies)

Thanks for the quick responses. I manage to solve the problem by running "apt-get install libqt4-maemo5-module".

so deakhead, is it work fine ? no problem counter ? or any error after you install qt4.6 ?

i installed libqt4 gui...bt to access it....i mean hw to run it...its nt showing up in my "more" menu????
pls respond.

The packages you installed are Qt 4.6 run time libraries not applications.

ok. so what changes shall i experienc???
i mean....what is tht a video is showing.....those notes interface, clock ticking in a new way....and all tht???

By installing Qt 4.6 libraries you don't get any changes to your system, just a possibility to run applications which are developed using Qt 4.6.

and whre are those applications?
