On Windows, when installing the Qt SDK, select Custom then on the Select Components dialog, unselect the following under Documentation: Harmattan, Qt Simulator, Symbian, and Qt Mobility; under APIs: Qt Mobility APIs and Qt Quick Components for Symbian; and under Development Tools: Harmattan, Simulator, Symbian Toolchains, under Desktop Qt: Qt 4.7.4 (Qt 4.8.1 will be used). Under Miscellaneous, it is unnecessary to select MinGW 4.4 (the previously installed MSYS/MinGW 4.6.2 will be used, see here for instructions). Also, the Qt Examples are not necessary but can be left in.
These selections will decrease the amount to download when using the on-line installer. Once installed, any of the unselected components can be added using the Maintain Qt SDK program under the Qt SDK program group using the Package manager. The Default installation can also be used Once installed, QtCreator needs to be connected to our tools (git, MinGW and CMake; see next post).
On Linux, the download installers can be used with the same selections as above (make sure the correct installer versions are downloaded, 32-bit or 64-bit to match the version of Linux). On Ubuntu 12.04 based distros (for example Linux Mint 13), it is not necessary to install the Qt SDK as the packages needed for Qt development are in the Ubuntu repositories. Most of the Qt libraries should already be installed (especially if KDE is being used since it was developed using Qt). The only additional packages that need to be installed are qtcreator, libqt4‑dev, qtcreator‑doc and qt4‑doc (use the sudo apt‑get install command or the package manager). The version of QtCreator installed from the repositories is the same as in the current Qt SDK, specifically 2.4.1.
