Package: libqt3-mt-dev
Version: 3:3.1.1-8
Severity: normal

I have been trying to get a working version of qt installed so I can
learn how to use it for development.  It is very unclear what debian
packages I need to start using qt.  I have spent hours installing things
and finding that they don't work, and then installing new things which
conflict with previousy installed things to see if they work and so on.

I still don't understand which packages form the development environment
and which are extra add-ons or other things that I don't need right
away.  (My not unfamiliarity with debian package name conventions probably
doesn't help here, but not all of your users will know that stuff).

Could you please add some information to the descriptions that come up
on the package pages, to tell the uninformed user which packages she/he
might install to get going with Qt?

Thankyou,

Helen Faulkner

  you need libqt3-mt-dev, qt3-dev-tools for the build tools, and
sometimes qt3-apps-dev.

  descriptions of those packages explain IMHO currently pretty nicely
what those are meant for.

  You also have qt3-{assistant,designer,linguist} that are already
advertised in the Qt doc a lot.


  apt-cache show qt3 devel shows them all (and has a reasonnably small
amount of lines), and also kde-devel that is a meta-package that pulls
all what is needed for qt/kde applications developpement.

  I consider that this is simple enough and also close the bug.
