[Qt-interest] Qt 4.7.1 Linux libs

[Joshua Grauman]

Correct me if I'm wrong, you obviously know a lot more about this than I 
do. But my understanding was that the Qt SDK included libs so that 
Designer/Assistant/etc would run on just about any Linux distro, right? 
Wasn't the SDK designed so that you could run, say, Designer, on most 
Linux distros? So I used those same libs with my app so that my app didn't 
require the latest Linux distro either.

Otherwise I need to setup a chroot with an older distro and slightly older 
system libs on it to ensure that the compiled Qt will work on older 
distros.

I just realized I think I didn't make something clear. I want to *include* 
Qt libs with my app. But if I compile my own Qt libs, then my Qt will need 
those versions of my system libs or greater.

Clear as mud?
