Hi list, i want to compile my own qt5 packages for debian wheezy. I found http://anonscm.debian.org/gitweb/?a=project_list;pf=pkg-kde/qt as a place to download build descriptions from. Now i wonder how i can use these debian build descriptions to compile these packages. I am a programmer, so i know the qt part of the problem, but i did not find the documentation for the debian part that i am not understanding yet. Perhaps somebody can enlighten me here. Let me describe my problem at the example of qtchooser. This is what i did:

But i have the feeling that there must be a better way to do this, especially when running on some continuous build server etc. Can somebody explain to me how these qt5 packages (qtchooser, qtbase, qt* ) are built e.g. on the debian and kubuntu infrastructure ? thanks a lot, kr Holger -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to debian-qt-kde-requ...@lists.debian.org with a subject of "unsubscribe".
