installing qt using

[impeteperry]

Hi,
I'm running Mint 7,
I'm doing some Qt progrgramming,
To install Qt, I use the following:

sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools
sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2
sudo apt-get install g++
which works fine, but on another computer I want to use:

qt-x11-opensource-src-4.5.2.tar.gz
I am at
/tmp/qt-x11-opensource-src-4.5.2in terminal mode
In earlier days I apt-get g++ and another file that I can't remember, then the

./configure -xshape and then the rest of the stuff in INSTALL..
but have been having trouble with thiis one. What files to I have to install before the "./configure?"
Thanks

I'm not exactly sure how and what you should do on debian based systems, but I think you should
$ apt-get install build-essential

That should get your basic build environment ready to use.

with the release of 4.6 I get a "qt-sdk-linux-x86-opensource-2009.05.bin" for installation.
I have never used a "bin" file before, but following the instructions all seems to go well until the "installation" box, but it never does anything other than say "Installing, Please wait"

How can I download a "zip" file?

can I use the following 3 steps as I have for 5?
"sudo apt-get install qt4-dev-tools
sudo apt-get install libgtk1.2
sudo apt-get install g++

Thanks.
