I want to start programming cross platform applications including especially mobile apps for android and apple, possbily WinRT. To begin programming, I want to modify VLC, which uses Qt.
I have reviewed Debian 7.5, Ubuntu ? and Suse 13.1. None of them have the current Qt 5.x libraries or tools as packages. I’m not sure they even have the libraries that a Qt dev install would require.
Since I can choose any Linux distribution at this time, does anyone have any suggestions for a distribution that attempts to keep current with Qt?
Or is there a distribution that (at least) has the correct compiler and supporting required operating system and developement libraries?
I would prefer not to have to compile all of Qt myself for my computer. I don’t understand the binary tar-ball that Qt provides since it doesn’t seem to state which version, of which Lunix distribution, it supports.
I guess I should use a KDE desktop too, or is that not necessary.
On the other hand, I guess I could use windows 8.1 and possibly visual studio, but I don’t know if I could produce binary programs for other non windows platforms.
Can someone give me advise on how to start, or correct any misconceptions I have?
Thanks in advance. :)
