I've updated the Qt GUI toolkit on Athena to release 3.2.1 for Sun and Linux;
I built both static and dynamic versions of the libraries, and set up
scripts that will let you easily build both static and dynamically linked
versions of the examples and tutorials so you can see how this works in
detail.
Note that a 3.1 version of Qt is installed in the 9.2 Linux-Athena release,
and if you aren't careful on Linux it could conflict with the new version
I've just installed.
I used the latest g++ versions I had around to build it
(/usr/athena/bin/g++ for Sun, /usr/bin/g++ for Linux), both
3.2. Because Qt is very fussy about this, it's likely that you will
need to use g++ for your code too, and use 3.2 or later. Use gmake
on Suns, not Solaris make, for best results.
You will find detailed instructions at
http://web.mit.edu/acs/www/programming.html#Qt (set QT_VERSION to 3.2.1
where QT_VERSION is mentioned). There is a good deal of information about how
things are set up locally and work in files README.athena and README.config
at the top level of the qt_v3.2.1 locker, including pointers to documentation.
