In other words, just clone and compile.
UPDATE: Also if there's anything missing, then file an issue on github instead of complaining here.

OK. I posted another request for where these "build instructions" are, exactly --- as I can't clone and compile without knowing the command used to compile....and I don't see any documentation that's obvious, or even findable by grep. So I'm stumped. Its pretty difficult to recompile the source to be compatible with the Kobo, and build plugin applications without knowing how the QT library is compiled on the Kobo. Thanks.
I opened a request on github:

I don't see build instructions for QT anywhere 4.8.0, that shows how QT4.8.0 needs to be configured to rebuild the libraries fully compatible with the Kobo Glo and Aura HD. Are they in the archive?
I found a script for qt-4.6.2, in the build instructions, which has the following switches:
./configure $CPPFLAGS $LIBS -release -no-accessibility -system-libmng -no-nis -no-cups -no-xshape -no-xrandr -no-xkb -no-xinerama -no-xcursor -no-sm -system-libpng -system-libjpeg -qt-gif -qt-zlib -embedded arm -xplatform qws/linux-arm-g++ -no-qt3support -exceptions -opensource -no-pch -qt-freetype -qt-gfx-qvfb -confirm-license -dbus -ldbus-1 -nomake examples -nomake docs -nomake translations -nomake examples -nomake docs -nomake demos -scripttools -xmlpatterns -no-opengl -depths all -qt-gfx-transformed -qt-gfx-linuxfb -no-mouse-pc -no-mouse-linuxtp -no-mouse-linuxinput -no-mouse-tslib -no-mouse-qvfb -no-mouse-qnx -no-armfpa -no-neon -openssl -lrt -I${DEVICEROOT}/include/dbus-1.0 -I${DEVICEROOT}/lib/dbus-1.0/include $QT_EXTRA_ARGS -prefix-install
But these switches aren't all available in 4.8.0 or 5.xx
What switches ought I use to build the libraries that are on the Kobo Glo, and AuraHD ?
