Has anyone tried to build qt5 from the downloaded source code zip package located at http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5/5.0.1/single/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.1.zip ? Is this package actually buildable ? I used to download the source package and build it in QT4. But I tried the same thing with QT5 and it didn't work.

Or do we have to build from the git source tree following the building flow http://qt-project.org/wiki/Building_Qt_5_from_Git ?

I was able to build the 5.0.1.zip on both ubuntu 12.10 and fedora 18. I followed the instructions in the README. It took a few iterations with configure to find and load the needed dependencies.

Thanks for your reply. Did you try building it on windows?
