Hi John

Should have been clear - those instructions are for building Qt5 (which is uses the gpu on the raspberry for graphics acceleration )

As best I can tell the QtonPi image isn't really a good option (feel free to correct me if I'm wrong) so I guess that leaves me with either trying to track down a distro with Qt or rolling my own (preferably based on wheezy). It looks like Qt4 is available via the standard "apt-get" command but Qt5 does not appear to be easily installed. But, from what I've read, Qt5 is really what I want. So I'm guessing I need to roll my own version of Qt from the sources (?). And I'm not sure if it's best to build natively on the RPi or cross compile on my Mac. I'm pretty sure I've looked at all the relevant Qt - RPi documentation but felt that it was geared toward advanced Linux users and certainly not a noob like me. Any help getting started would be greatly appreciated!
