These packages can be installed on most modern debian-based Linux distributions. RobotinoView 2 requires Qt 4.5.0 or newer. Only new versions of the popular Linux distributions (such as Ubuntu 9.04) provide this new version of Qt. If you work with such a new version, all you have to do is download and install the required packages. On older systems, you may have to install REC_Qt 4.5.2 (available for download here) before. For Ubuntu 8.04 LTS (Hardy Heron) there are backported Qt 4.5 packages available at https://launchpad.net/~benlau/+archive/hardy-backport-qt. It is highly recommended to install those instead of REC_Qt. Dependencies: OpenRobotino1-1.8.2 -> libqtcore4 (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) libqtgui4 (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) libqt4-network (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) OpenRobotino2-1.8.2 -> libqtcore4 (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) libqtgui4 (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) libqt4-network (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) robview2-2.1.0 -> OpenRobotino1 (>=1.8.0) libqtcore4 (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) libqtgui4 (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) libqt4-network (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) libqt4-xml (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt (>=4.5.0) robview2-api-2.1.0 -> robview2-2.1.0 libqt4-dev (>=4.5.0) or REC_Qt_dev (>=4.5.0) REC_Qt_dev-4.5.2 -> REC_Qt ( =4.5.2) On systems where there is no Qt 4.5.0 or newer available, REC_Qt must be installed prior to installing any other package. Pleasy note that REC_Qt_dev is necessary only if you want to develop plugins for RobotinoView 2 and therefore install robview2-api. Steps to install RobotinoView2 on a system with Qt >= 4.5.0: 1. Log in as root and install the Qt libraries from the systems's repository: # apt-get install libqtcore4 libqtgui4 libqt4-network libqt4-xml (optional) # apt-get install libqt4-dev 2.
