This is what I did - it's really just a set of patches that are applied within a Debian package building framework: https://github.com/david-boddie-met-no/qt4-headless/tree/4.8-qpa The configuration removes as much as possible from the build, so you wouldn't want to try and use it to build a virtual GUI framework. The use case for this is a library that renders images for a server. There are various patches in there to fix some Qt headers - it seems that some feature-sensitive code is not properly wrapped in #ifdef checks. Are the cut-down Qt builds still tested these days?
