QT IDE and SDK won't install on Mac OS X - qt

Not sure if this is SO appropriate so feel free to move. It is an IDE though. :)
I want to try the QT IDE on my Snow Leopard machine but for some reason it's not wanting to install. It freezes even (the installer I mean).
I am downloading the 442 meg file from this page: http://qt.nokia.com/downloads
Anyone know why I can't get this to install? Thanks! :)

I'm pretty sure you can't install that on Snow Leopard. Try downloading the 4.6 RC and installing that. You can get the RC here.

More Update;
I have success to install Nokia Qt on my MBP - run pretty good. You can get it here

Only Simulator is allow, No news on Device deployment support yet.

Cross-compiling QtDeclarative for raspberry pi

I'm trying to cross compile qml for Raspberry pi 3 on a x64 Ubuntu.
I followed this tutorial
https://wiki.qt.io/RaspberryPi2EGLFS, installed Qt 5.6.3 and managed to run QtWidgets applications pretty easily and I'm now looking to use QML.
From what I understood, I need to install qtjsbackend and qtdeclarative for it to work so I cloned the github repositories and installed qtjsbackend without any trouble.
now, when I tried to run qmake on qtdeclarative, I got some weird errors:
/home/myname/raspi/qtdeclarative/src/src.pro:13: 'qtConfig' is not a recognized test function.
It keeps going on until:
Reading /home/myname/raspi/qtdeclarative/tests/auto/qml/debugger/qdebugmessageservice/qdebugmessageservice.pro
Project ERROR: Unknown module(s) in QT: qmldebug-private
I can't find anything on the internet about this, does anyone have an idea of what to do ?
The qtjsbackend requirement is old, and only needed for Qt 5.1. Newer qtdeclarative no longer use v8 as a JavaScript engine.
The error you are getting there is caused by a mismatch of version dependencies. You are trying to build a qtdeclarative that looks like it is from either a 5.8/5.9 or dev branch against a qtbase that you say is 5.6. If you have Qt 5.6, you want to build the same major & minor version for qtdeclarative, i.e. 5.6 (or a 5.6.x release)
I would suggest that you either use qt5.git to get you all the dependencies of the version that you need, or use the tarball releases which contain everything in one "blob".
Alternatively, you should be able to install it from your distribution. I would expect that it is already packaged there, though it may not be the newest version possible.
I faced same problem and tried following
Try checking out 5.7 branch from your git repo for qtdeclarative,
git checkout 5.7
then qmake, make and make install.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

Qt installed on Mac but not in /usr/include

I have installed QT5 by the QT Installer from the official website and QT4 with command line $ apt-get install qt4-mac. Both have been successful but I can't find qt on /usr/include/. I have QT5 installed for sure, since I have QT creator and I can run some examples.
Here is a screenshot of my QT Preference.

I searched but everybody who had installed QT have found it in /usr/include.
Thanks
PS : I work on Mac OS Yosemite. And unfortunately I am trying to make it work with Eclipse CDT but since I don't find libraries in /usr/include I can't get it work
/usr/include belongs to the operating system. Nothing that you ever manually install should touch that location, unless it comes from Apple.
You've got Spotlight, simply press ⌘-Space, type Creator, wait for it to find it, press ⌘-Enter or ⌘-Click on the result and a Finder window will open up, showing you where the Qt Designer's bundle is. That's likely where the rest of it will be. It's OS X, things are supposed to be easy :)

Aptana crashing on creating new ftp connetction

After long work with no issues, Aptana started to crash every time I try to create new ftp connection.
Is this a known issue?
I am on Linux 64 and using standalone version
got the same problem. I'm using standalone Aptana Studio 3 Version: 3.4.2.201308081805 with JRE Version: 1.7.0_45 on Kubuntu 64 bit 13.10 Saucy. Everything should be fine, but unfortunately it's not.
The problem seems to appear after upgrading the OS-Version. Aptana on the previous Kubuntu version was and still is running quite well.
My workaround:
Install 13.04 on V-Box,
install AptanaStudio on Guest-System,
load workbench from host-system,
do changes in Connection Manager and save them,
start Aptana on host-system and the changes are there
It's not exactly what I would call a convenient way, but it works.
I hope that there will be a solution for this issue soon.
Installing the latest Update Aptana 3.5.0.201312191422 fixes this issue.
Aptana uses GTK themes on kde. Change the Gtk2 style from QtCurve to other because it can't render the FTP windows

Arduino Installation Guide for Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin

I'm following an installation guide for Arduino. I have Arduino UNO rev3 and ubuntu 64bit
The guide refers to Synaptic Package manager to install software. But it doesn't seem to be available in Ubuntu 12.04 Precise Pangolin.
Should I install the list of software components via Ubuntu software center? Or should I install the Synaptic Package manager? (e.g. http://www.jonathanmoeller.com/screed/?p=3610)
Is there any difference between the two installation applications?
I had a lot of trouble syncing processing and arduino in 12.04.
I installed arduino in every possible way imaginable: from the website, from synaptic/software-centre, from apt-get... etc and it just wouldn't run.
If you are having trouble 'running' it , go to a terminal and run it there to see the problem. Post details.
In my case I got java headlessexceptions errors, which I concluded was because 12.04 didn't have any JAVA stuff installed? Can you believe it! It came to me as a shock, but oh well:
Go to synaptic and get the following packages:
java-common, openjdk-7/6, java-wrappers, libjaxme-java, default-jre, defaul-jdk, libbsf-java, default-jre-headless, openjdk-6-jre-headless
I am sorry if some of these are irrelevant to arduino, I just went on a 'click-on-jdk' stuff spree and got it to work :) Processing and Arduino run like a charm now!
Hope this helps!
Follow this tutorial for setting up Arduino in Ubuntu. I found this one to be the most helpful. Install Arduino IDE in Ubuntu.
Actually the easiest way to get the Arduino IDE on Linux is to download the software from this page http://arduino.cc/en/Main/Software (either the 32bit or 64bit linux version depending on your system)
After you download it all you have to do is extract the archive and run the executable called "arduino"
For installing Arduino 1.0 in Precise there is no difference between using Synaptic or Software Center, they will both install including dependancies. The biggest difference is the user interface and that Software Center allows for purchasing some additional software, they are both using your repos defined in /etc/apt/sources.

Installing Arduino on Linux is a little bit harder than the same installation on Windows or Mac. A wide list with tutorials for Arduino installation on Linux could be a good help for you. Also, you can check this guide for arduino installation http://playground.arduino.cc//Learning/Linux
The best way to install arduino for ubuntu is with terminal.
The first line command you have to write is:
sudo apt-get update && sudo apt-get install arduino
This will update your ubuntu packages and also install the arduino package. Then type:
tar -xvzf filename.tar.xz
Then you have to go to the directory Downloads (cd Downloads), and next to the arduino directory (cd filename).
Finally to run arduino, once you are inside the arduino directory you type:
./arduino
It will run the program.

Mac Qt4: PyQt 4.8 installation error (Need help)

hope someone of you can help me. I'm new to mac and qt, so please forgive me if I ask some dumb questions. So to the problem. I want to install PyQt 4.8 on the macbook (Mac OS X 10.6.4).
First I installed Qt 4.7 like in this description http://doc.trolltech.com/4.7/install-mac.html. Then I installed sip 4.11.2 (without --arch=i386), here the how-to page (http://www.expobrain.net/2010/06/22/install-pyqt4-in-snow-leopard). After that I tried to install PyQt 4.8 (without --use-arch=i386), but I get an error. I googled it, no success. I don't know what to do. I try to build it from source, because I need to install a lot more packages, like qimage2ndarray. And I heard that with the .dmg (binary) you can have some trouble. May be someone can help me. Hope I don't need to reinstall the whole OS.
Here the error.
Olis-MacBook-Pro:PyQt-mac-gpl-4.8 opetra$ python configure.py build
Determining the layout of your Qt installation...
Error: Failed to determine the layout of your Qt installation. Try again using
the --verbose flag to see more detail about the problem.
OK guys, I solved the problem. I had to set the arch, in my case to x86_64, for all three. Not only for sip and PyQt. Without it, qt was compiling PowerPC arch as default. Don't know why, I have a macbook pro 2010 with an i5. Thought the configuration would automatic recognize that.
