You will have to first download the source from here for qt 4.8.1.
Then open a terminal(Ctrl+Alt+T) and goto the path where you have download the file.
Install the required dependencies
sudo apt-get install build-essential checkinstall
Then extract the file using
tar -xvzf qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1.tar.gz
Then goto the extracted folder using
cd qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1
and run
./configuremakesudo checkinstall
This will make a .deb of the source you can install as a normal application via apt
sudo dpkg -i path/to/output.deb
Change path/to/output.deb to the path of the created .deb file.

Thanks, but While running the ./configure command it shows " You might need to modify the include and library search paths by editing QMAKE_INCDIR_X11 and QMAKE_LIBDIR_X11 in /home/rex/Downloads/qt-everywhere-opensource-src-4.8.1/mkspecs/linux-g++. " error ? Is it because of any missing dependencies ? @mohit_rajan– RooneyApr 13, 2016 at 18:43
