4.5.3? The latest upstream release is 4.5.2.
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 Sorry my mistake, you're right its QT 4.5.2.


I'm no QT expert (and I actually haven't even touched it in years) but

Correct.

I did manage to get Qt4 working some time ago. Cygwin Ports provides Qt 4.4=
.3 for Cygwin 1.5 and 4.5.2 for 1.7.
Not sure how far he got, since Cygwin Ports (cygwinports.dotsrc.org)

you'd have to build it yourself.=20
SunSITE stopped their project hosting some time ago; Ports' new home is: ht=
tp://cygwinports.org/
=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 I went to the cygwinports website. As I am qu=
ite new to this, I dont really understand what to do. There are some steps =
to follow.

	1. =A0=A0=A0 Use the current Cygwin setup.exe.=20
	2. =A0=A0=A0 Launch setup.exe, and Download Without Installing from your f=
avourite Cygwin mirror as normal.=20
	3. =A0=A0=A0 Launch setup.exe again with the -X flag and choose Download W=
ithout Installing.=20
	4. =A0=A0=A0 Add and select ftp://sourceware.org/pub/cygwinports (or a sou=
rceware mirror) in the mirror list.=20
	5. =A0=A0=A0 Select the packages of your choice and their dependencies and=
 updates for download.=20
	6. =A0=A0=A0 From a Cygwin shell, run this command:=20
=A0=A0=A0 sed -i -e "/^setup-timestamp:/ s/ \(.*\)/ $(date +%s)/" \
=A0=A0=A0 "$(cygpath -u "$(cat /etc/setup/last-cache)")/ftp%3a%2f%2fsourcew=
are.org%2fpub%2fcygwinports/setup.ini"
	7. =A0=A0=A0=A0Launch setup.exe once more and Install from Local Directory=
.=20
=A0=A0=A0 I'm stuck at point number 3. How do i lauch setup again with the =
-X flag?
=A0
=A0=A0=A0 So is it after following this steps i can install QT4 in Cygwin? =
If it is possible, can someone who has done this before provide a step-by s=
tep instructions on =A0=A0=A0 exactly what i must do?

I'm just curious that nowadays applications are all GUI.. I was thinking ma=
ny people will be facing this same issue as me.. How do you guys compile GU=
I application in Cygwin?

Please note that Ports packages are supported on their own mailing list.


And to answer the inevitable question: I can't ITP this yet because there a=
re a number of dependencies still missing from the distro.

=A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 =A0=A0=A0 Where can I still get QT 3 if QT 4 fails?
