qmake in debian?

[deepstar]

Hi All,

Trying to install a new app called moto4lin. Can't seem to find a .deb package so I downloaded the source from sourceforge. Install instructions call for:

1. qmake
2. make

A little reseach shows that qmake is created when QT is compiled. This Sid box has the QT gui library and QT3 header files installed but I don't seem to have qmake. What can I download or build to get qmake -- short of compiling QT??

Any pointers really appreciated.....

Dont know anything about qmake. But a quick apt-file turned up these.

$ apt-file search bin/qmake
libqt4-dev: usr/bin/qmake-qt4
libqt4-dev: usr/share/qt4/bin/qmake
qt-x11-free-dbg: usr/lib/debug/usr/bin/qmake-qt3
qt3-dev-tools: usr/bin/qmake-qt3
qt3-dev-tools: usr/share/qt3/bin/qmake

So there are 3 packages which offer qmake executable. You probably know which qmake is better suited for you. For more details, read the man page of apt-file
