"-lqt" tells the linker to link against a library called "libqt.so" or
"libqt.a". The ".so" version is a symlink to the actual version, which is
something like "libqt.so.2.3.0".
In Debian, development versions of libraries are typically called something
like libfoo1.2-dev. In the case of Debian "unstable", the package you're
looking for is called simply "libqt-dev"; if you run a different tree, grep
for "libqt.so" in the appropriate "Contents" file of your local mirror.
So, install "libqt-dev" (or the appropriate one for your tree) and try
building it again.
