[Development] Compiling Qt5 Alpha on Linux fails

Wed Apr 4 12:43:20 CEST 2012

Try following the instructions here
    http://qt-project.org/wiki/Qt-5-Alpha-building-instructions

Qt should not be configured in such a way that it needs to be installed. That's not a supported build configuration for the alpha.
Only in-source non-install builds for alpha.
