install Qt4 alongside Qt3? How?

[GreatBunzinni]

I would like to start venturing into developing applications with Qt4. It seems that to achieve that I will need to install the Qt4 livraries, which apparently aren't binary compatible with Qt3. So right now I'm thinking about installing Qt4 alongside Qt3.

So, to achieve that what will I have to do? Will a simple Adept install do or will I need to spend some extra precautions setting up everything? What are your thoughts and tips about this?

Qt4 is in the Universe repositories. Just activate Universe and search for qt4.

To expand on askrieger's comment that it is in the repository, there are a few minor anomalies that you have to figure out once qt4 is installed. 

qmake

is still qt3, you have to use

qmake-qt4

(or do as i did and create an easier q4make alias) to use qt4 libraries.  The qt4 designer is the command

designer-qt4

, which for me was not put into the kde menu if i recall correctly, so I had to manually add it.

Other than that it was pretty seamless to install them both side by side.

That's great news! I'll install it right now.

Thanks for the help. Kudos!
