Hi
Did you try
sudo apt install qt4-default

Its version 4.8.7 but thats pretty close to 4.8.1

[EnormousSoft]

why not download and install pre-build package ?

http://download.qt.io/official_releases/qt/5.12/5.12.2/qt-opensource-linux-x64-5.12.2.run

@EnormousSoft because Qt 4.8.1 is not provided through the installer. If you are thinking about 4.8.7, then as @mrjj suggested, using the one provided by the distribution will be simpler.

i have recommended use only qt 4.8.1 ..I have also try 4.8.7 but issue is not solved...I want compile code that is wrote on qt 4.8.1..which version we have use for compile this code?i want compile this code with all function and without error..I compiled that code on qt5.12.0 ,code is compiled but some API are not work on qt 5.12.0 .

[SGaist]

What issue ? What problem do you have compiling your code with 4.8.7 that you didn't have with 4.8.1 ?

[vaibs]

I dont understand ..because this code build succesfully..but some function of application is not work .I have find some obsolete API so some function of apllication work well.but i cant find other obsolete API..Because error not occure..

[SGaist]

Can you please directly give more details ?

What obsolete APIs is this application using ?

[vaibs]

i want build and run this code "https://github.com/B9Creations/B9Creator " .

@vaibs Why don't you say what exact problems do you have when you compile this app?
Do you expect others to try to compile it with Qt 4.8.1?

[vaibs]

No .I dont think this..I have build succefully and run ..but some function not work because some api are obsolete..But i couldnt find obsolete api..because i have not find error of obsolete api..I cant explain exact where problm is generated

@vaibs that's why we recommend using Qt 4.8.7.

that is fully API compatible to 4.8.1, just some bugs fixed.

@vaibs
Hi
What about using the debugger and step into the function that seems not to work when
clicking in the interface.?
That way you can discover why its not working.

[vaibs]

i want only install qt 4.8.1..I used "qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1.tar" .but when run "make" i have occure error in this tar file..

@mrjj @aha_1980 Thanks i will try once again all process

[mrjj]

Hi
ok. it will most likely result in the same error as it seems to be something with /usr/include
What we are trying to tell you is that 4.8.7 IS very close to 4.8.1 so
the application should work and we are not sure what API should be obsolete as
it should not be the case.

[vaibs]

Hii,Thanks for reply.
i have trying following step for install qt 4.8.7.

1. gunzip qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7.tar.gz
