how to switch from 4.7 to qt 5?

[saman_artorious]

I installed from here http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5.0/beta-snapshots/ You don't need to compile and build it. It is already compiled and only need to install it.

Ohh, Qt 5 beta? I didn't think this has released yet. I thought there was only Qt 5 Alpha n as you know, that is for testing, So, I couldn't trust using it.
Thanks very much.

The reason I wanna get it is to use it's new libraries which Qt 4 does not support. COuld you tell me which download link would be the most suitable n countable?
shall I go for the lastest forlder http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5.0...pshots/latest/

Qt 5 Beta is scheduled for mid july i think. Well I found download link from https://bugreports.qt-project.org/browse/QTBUG-26051 and then you can install directly from the link given in the
bug http://releases.qt-project.org/qt5.0...6_msvc2010.exe.

well, the link you just sent is a windows installation. I just wanted to make sure the links provided in your first post are already debugged. (i mean the beta version). some more question, shall remove qt 4.7 after installing 5? I mean would it conflict?
if yes, how do you remove it, simply by make uninstall command or removing folders in linux?

more importantly, what is the difference between the two installation links
qt-everywhere-opensource-src-5.0.0-beta.zip
qt-linux-opensource-5.0.0-beta1-offline-x86_32-ubuntu1110.run

I mean the qt-everywhere ?

Are you sure you really want to use Qt5 in a state it is in now? I would expect it to crash randomly on you, especially in those "new libraries Qt4 doesn't support". If you expect your software written with Qt5 to "just work", then you should really reconsider.
