digitalmars.D.learn - QTD on Ubuntu

Hi,

I am having problems compiling qtd on Ubuntu 12.04. QtD needs 
Qt4, however I also have Qt5 installed. By default cmake grabs 
version 5 which of course produces error messages. In case anyone 
knows a quick fix (cmake flag, or a qmake flag etc.) please let 
me know. Thanks a million!

As I understand it, QtD is unfortunately unmaintained and is effectively a dead 
project. So, I wouldn't expect it to compile regardless of your Qt version.

That being said, looking at the the cmake docs ( 
http://www.cmake.org/cmake/help/v2.8.11/cmake.html ), it looks like you might 
be able to get it to choose Qt4 by setting DESIRED_QT_VERSION - probably by 
passing -DDESIRED_QT_VERSION=4.9.10 (or whatever the version is) to cmake.

Thanks! I'll have a look. A pity QtD is no longer maintained. 
Ubuntu is using the Qt for mobile apps now (cf. 
http://developer.ubuntu.com/get-started/) and probably for the 
desktop too.
