[Qgis-developer] Qt build for QGIS source

[William Kyngesburye]

Don't compile Qt from source, just download the framework installer.  They also have debug libs as a separate download (it adds to the frameworks).  For most purposes the "Qt Libraries" downloads are enough, but if you need the dev tools, like Qt Designer and the Qt IDE you need the larger Qt SDK.

Looks like they changed their download page layout a bit - the SDK/Library section used to be side by side, now they're sequential and you need to scroll down to find the Library links.

"Mon Dieu! but they are all alike.  Cheating, murdering, lying, fighting, and all for things that the beasts of the jungle would not deign to possess - money to purchase the effeminate pleasures of weaklings.  And yet withal bound down by silly customs that make them slaves to their unhappy lot while firm in the belief that they be the lords of creation enjoying the only real pleasures of existence....
