I recommend against QtOnPi which is dead - qt5 on the armel wheezy
release is more recent. I would love to see Qt5 on armhf (Raspbian),
but don't have the time right now to look into it myself.
The...changes...at Nokia have messed things up a little bit, but all
you need to compile qt5 should be there if you're willing to dig in to
the build system a little bit. http://qt-project.org/wiki/RaspberryPi
is a good starting point.
