If you want to build a Qt application you need to install Qt - how else would it work?
Do you really want to use Qt 4.8? Did you install it? -

@jsulm It is the old app which i need to continue. With the project I have all the binaries and includes in the separate directory and I wonder if I can use it in this way
@Milosz hi,
No, you can't develop something with just the dependencies of an application.
You need the headers of the library, depending on your OS, you need import libraries, etc.
You can still get Qt 4 on Linux for example although you might need an older version of e.g. Debian. It would be the easier way to have the latest Qt 4 to continue maintaining that old application.
