It's basically the same thing here, it's just the cmake call instead of the configure one.

For heaven's sake, don't do that. You can get pre-built Linux binaries (in the SDK) for Qt from Nokia here (choose LGPL). They come in an installer, install them wherever you want and then add the "bin" dir to the beginning of your PATH.

I do it like this:

Code:
export PATH=/home/valloric/qtsdk-2010.02/qt/bin:$PATH
Then run CMake the way we discussed. It will tell you which version of Qt it is using and where it is picking it from, so you'll know if you did something wrong.

Everything will be linked to your system's GLIBC++.

After it builds, prepend that Qt path to your PATH permanently so that you can run Sigil. This will not interfere with other Qt apps on your system, since Qt is binary backwards compatible.
