    I have not used Qt for a while and want to get back into it. I have Qt 4.7 installed. I was thinking of updating to Qt 5.1, but am unsure which file to download. I want the basic desktop, but would also like to have a play at developing for Android mobile phones. In my case do I use
    Qt Online Installer for Linux 32-bit (22 MB) (Info)
    or
    Qt 5.1.1 for Android (Linux 32-bit, 461 MB) (Info)
    or both.
    Sorry if I misunderstand what these alternatives really mean, but I dont want to download stuff I do not really need.

    I'm guessing that the first option is really what I need?
    Thanks

      If you want to target Android, you need to download the android package. If you want to target the desktop, you need the other one.

        Online installer lists all available packages so you can go with that one and select the packages for your target platforms from it.

          Thank you for your replies.

          Ok, so if I want to build an android application under Linux then I would need to download the
          Qt 5.1.1 for Android (Linux 32-bit, 461 MB) (Info)
          file?
          If that is the case I will probably continue using Qt4.7 for my desktop applications.
          Thanks again
