I have QT5 installed on 12.10 I believe because it is a dependency for the Ubuntu SDK and the Ubuntu touch tools which I have been using. I have QT4 installed as well, infact I had it installed first.

I now need to compile some code for work that uses the QT4 libraries but cmake is complaining

-- Found unsuitable Qt version "5.0.2" from /usr/bin/qmake

Even though I am using

# find and set up qt
find_package (Qt4)

In the CMAKE file

So I need to find a way to make CMake find Qt4, which I tried and couldn't figure out. Also, its not my code so I don't want to have a custom Cmake file just for me.

Because I am a bit short of time I thought that I would just remove QT5 for now and reinstall it later. But when I try to remove it I get the following. I don't want it to remove all the other packages it says it will (bottom).

Any advice on either compiling with QT4 or getting rid of QT5 would be appreciated.

The following packages will be REMOVED

The solution was to add the following to my CMakeLists.txt

set(QT_QMAKE_EXECUTABLE /usr/bin/qmake-qt4)

Then it compiled fine
