I have just used the packaging of our distribution and created a meta package to pull in the toolchain, qt and some other dependencies.
As far as i know host-qt does not support host tools but only cross compiling, so i went for the easier way and installed the qt devel packages from the distribution. To build a meta package in debian/ubuntu you can use equivs and just add all your dependencies in there. For creating the repository i used reprepo. Thats all debian stuff don't have much experience with building packages and repositories for rpm based distros. Hope this helps Tim -- ptxdist mailing list [email protected]
