Where to download and install lastest Qt 4 on a Debian Linux ?
-
Hello
I installed Qt5 LTS on my MX Linux computer (Debian based Linux) using the "qt-unified-linux-x64-4.5.1-online" installer. This installer only allows to install Qt 5 and Qt 6 (and it works fine).
How can I download the latest version of Qt 4 and install it on my computer (if possible without recompiling anything) ?
Is there a clear procedure somewhere to easily do this installation ? -
I found archive download here : https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/4.8/4.8.7/
For Linux it is this software : qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.7.tar.gz
Is there a best installation notice than this one ? https://helpdeskgeek.com/linux-tips/how-to-compile-software-packages-on-linux/
Yes, this official one looks nice : https://download.qt.io/archive/qt/INSTALL

There is no binary version for Qt4 available. Either use the ones provided by your distribution or compile it by yourself (don't know if you need some more patches for recent compilers though)

After ./configure command, I get an "Basic XLib functionality test failed!" error.
I added these packages : libfontconfig1-dev, libfreetype6-dev, libx11-dev, libxcursor-dev, libxext-dev, libxfixes-dev, libxft-dev, libxi-dev, libxrandr-dev and libxrender-dev
And now ./configure command work !
