Qt3 Development Tools – Where to find?
I have been trying to find the Qt3 packages to use with compiling QUCS. It has been painful. The following browsing sequence may help.
- Package: qt3-dev-tools (3:3.3.8-b-0ubuntu3)
- Source Package: qt-x11-free (3:3.3.8-b-0ubuntu3) On this page I found a reference to Ana Guerrera: See next link
- long due TO-DO item: removal of Qt3 from Debian
- Snapshot.Debian.org : Source package qt-x11-free
