[QtonPi] Getting started with Qt on RPi

[Wruhen Retribution]

Hi Kieran

Your script has been really useful for me - I was starting to flounder in the conflicting instructions that were out there for building Qt!  Even made a small change yesterday to build webkit - now I just have to prove that webkit works :-)

Thanks for all the work you did!

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!
